Topic 2: Features of GST

GST is one indirect tax for the whole nation, which will make India one unified common market.
 GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the
consumer. Credits of input taxes paid at each stage will be available in the subsequent stage of
value addition, which makes GST essentially a tax only on value addition at each stage. The final
consumer will thus bear only the GST charged by the last dealer in the supply chain, with set-off
benefits at all the previous stages.
(i) GST would be applicable on “supply” of goods or services as against the present
concept of tax on the manufacture of goods or on sale of goods or on provision of
services.

(ii) GST would be based on the principle of destination based consumption taxation as

against the present principle of origin-based taxation.

(iii) It would be a dual GST with the Centre and the States simultaneously levying it on a
common base. The GST to be levied by the Centre would be called Central GST (central
tax- CGST) and that to be levied by the States [including Union territories with
legislature] would be called State GST (state tax- SGST). Union territories without
legislature would levy Union territory GST (union territory tax- UTGST).

(iv) An Integrated GST (integrated tax- IGST) would be levied on inter-State supply

(including stock transfers) of goods or services. This would be collected by the Centre
so that the credit chain is not disrupted.
(v) Import of goods would be treated as inter-State supplies and would be subject to
IGST in addition to the applicable customs duties.

(vi) Import of services would be treated as inter-State supplies and would be subject to

IGST.

(vii) CGST, SGST /UTGST& IGST would be levied at rates to be mutually agreed upon by
the Centre and the States under the aegis of the GSTC.

(viii) GST would replace the following taxes currently levied and collected by the Centre:
Page 5 of 11

a) Central Excise Duty;

b) Duties of Excise (Medicinal and Toilet Preparations);

c) Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance);

d) Additional Duties of Excise (Textiles and Textile Products);

e) Additional Duties of Customs (commonly known as CVD);

f) Special Additional Duty of Customs (SAD);

g) Service Tax;

h) Cesses and surcharges insofar as they relate to supply of goods or services.

(ix) State taxes that would be subsumed within the GST are:

a) State VAT;

b) Central Sales Tax;

c) Purchase Tax;

d) Luxury Tax;

e) Entry Tax (All forms);

f) Entertainment Tax (except those levied by the local bodies);

g) Taxes on advertisements;

h) Taxes on lotteries, betting and gambling;

i) State cesses and surcharges insofar as they relate to supply of goods or

services.

(x) GST would apply to all goods and services except Alcohol for human consumption.
 (xi) GST on five specified petroleum products (Crude, Petrol, Diesel, ATF & Natural gas)
would be applicable from a date to be recommended by the GSTC.

(xii) Tobacco and tobacco products would be subject to GST. In addition, the Centre
would continue to levy Central Excise duty.

The following are the key features of the GST model:-

1. Dual Goods and Service Tax : CGST and SGST
2. Inter-State Transactions and the IGST Mechanism:The Centre would levy and
collect the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) on all inter-State supply of
goods and services. The IGST mechanism has been designed to ensure seamless
flow of input tax credit from one State to another. The inter-State seller would pay
IGST on the sale of his goods to the Central Government after adjusting credit of
IGST, CGST and SGST on his purchases (in that order). The exporting State will
transfer to the Centre the credit of SGST used in payment of IGST. The importing
dealer will claim credit of IGST while discharging his output tax liability (both
CGST and SGST) in his own State. The Centre will transfer to the importing State
the credit of IGST used in payment of SGST.
3. Destination-Based Consumption Tax:GST will be a destination-based tax. This
implies that all SGST collected will ordinarily accrue to the State where the
consumer of the goods or services sold resides.
4. Computation of GST on the basis of invoice credit method: The liability under the
GST will be invoice credit  method i.e.  cenvat credit will be allowed  on the basis
of invoice issued by the suppliers.
5. Payment of GST: The CGST and SGST are to be paid  to the accounts of the
central and states respectively.
6. Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN):A not-for-profit, Non-Government
Company called Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), jointly set up by the
Central and State Governments will provide shared IT infrastructure and services
to the Central and State Governments, tax payers and other stakeholders.
7. INPUT TAX CREDIT (ITC)  SET OFF : ITC for CGST & SGST will be  taken for taxes
allowed against central and state respectively.
8. GST on Imports : Centre will levy IGST on inter-State supply of goods and
services.Import of goods will be subject to basic customs duty and IGST.
9. Maintenance of Records : A taxpayer or exporter would have to maintain
separate details in books of account for availment,  utilization or refund of Input
Tax Credit of CGST, SGST and IGST.
 10. Administration of GST :  Administration of GST will be the responsibility  of  the
GST Council , which will be the apex policy making body of the GST. Members of
GST Council comprised of the Central and   State ministers in charge of the
finance portfolio.
11. Goods and Service Tax Council: The GST Council will be a joint forum of the
Centre and the States. The Council will make recommendations to the Union and
the States on important issues like tax rates, exemption list, threshold limits, etc.
One-half of the total number of Members of the Council will constitute the
quorum of GST council.
Benefits of GST
1. GST will bring numerous benefits to all stakeholders viz industries,
government and citizens. Some of these benefits are listed below:
2. Seamless Flow of Credit: GST will facilitate seamless credit across the
entire supply chain and across all States under a common tax base.
3. Elimination of Cascading effect: Goods & Service Tax would eliminate the
cascading effects of taxes on production and distribution cost of goods
and services. The exclusion of cascading effects i.e. tax on tax will
significantly improve the competitiveness of original goods and services in
market will lead to beneficial impact to the GDP growth of the country. It is
felt that GST would serve a superior reason to achieve the objective of
streamlining indirect tax regime in India which can remove cascading
effects in supply chain till the level of final consumers.
4. Revenue Gain: Revenue will increase under GST regime because of
widening of the dealer base by capturing value addition in the distributive
trade and increased compliance.
5. Enhanced Transparency: GST regime shall enhance transparency in the
indirect tax framework and is expected to bring down the rate of inflation.
6. Zero rated Exports: Under the GST regime, exports will be zero rated in
entirety unlike the present system where refund of some taxes is not
allowed due to fragmented nature of indirect taxes between the Centre and
the States. All taxes paid on the goods or services exported or on the
inputs or input services used in the supply of such export goods or
services shall be refunded.
7. GST will boost Indian exports, thereby improving the balance of payments
position. Exporters will be facilitated by grant of provisional refund of 90%
of their claims within seven days of issue of acknowledgement of their
application, thereby resulting in the easing of position with respect to cash
flows.
8. Increased Uniformity: Uniform GST rates will reduce the incentive for
evasion by eliminating rate arbitrage between neighbouring States and that
between intra and inter-State sales. Harmonization of laws, procedures
and rates of tax will make compliance easier and simple.
9. There would be common definitions, common forms/formats, common
interface through GST portal, resulting in efficiencies and synergies across
the board. This will also remove multiple taxation of same transactions
and inter-State disputes like the ones on entry tax and e-commerce
taxation existing today.
10. Increased Certainty: Common procedures for registration of
taxpayers, refund of taxes, uniform formats of tax return, common tax
base, common system of classification of goods or services along with
timelines for every activity will lend greater certainty to taxation system.
11. Increased Digitalisation: GST is largely technology driven. The
interface of the taxpayer with the tax authorities will be through the
common portal (GSTN). There will be simplified and automated
procedures for various processes such as registration, returns, refunds, tax
payments, etc. All processes, be it applying for registration, filing of
returns, payment of taxes, filing of refund claims etc., would be done online
through GSTN. The input tax credit will be verified online. Electronic
matching of input tax credit across India will make the process more
transparent and accountable. This will encourage a culture of compliance.
This will also greatly reduce the human interface between the taxpayer and
the tax administration, leading to speedy decisions.

GST Classifications
