REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Reviews of related literature forms an integral part of any research study. A careful
scanning of the illiterate studies on related studies will help for clearing the background for
present study.

 PINKI,SUPRIYAKAMMA AND RICHAVERMA(JULY2014)

Studied,“Goods and Service Tax–Panacea for Indirect Tax System in India” and
concluded that the new NDA government in India is positive towards implementation of GST
and it is beneficial for central government, state government and as well as for consumers in
long run if its implementation is backed by strong IT infrastructure.

 AGOGOMAWULI (MAY2014)

 Studied, “Goods and Service Tax- An Appraisal” and found that GST is not good for low-
income countries and does not provide broad based growth to poor countries. If still thee
countries want to implement GST, then the rate of GST should be less than 10% for growth.

 NITIN KUMAR (2014)

 Studied, “Goods and Service Tax – A Way Forward” and concluded that implementation of
GST in India help in removing economic distortion by current indirect tax system and
expected to encourage unbiased tax structure which is indifferent to geographical locations.

 NISHITHAGUPTHA(2014)

14
 In her study stated that implementation of GST in the Indian framework will lead to
commercial benefit which were untouched by the VAT system and would essentially lead to
economic development a collective gain for industry, trade, agriculture and common
consumers a well as for the Central and State government

 JAIPRAKASH (2014)

 In his research study mentioned that the GST at the Central and the State level are expected
to give more relief to industry, trade, agriculture and consumers through a more
comprehensive and wider coverage of input tax set-off and service tax set-off, subsuming of
several taxes in the GST and phasing out of GST. Responses of industry and also of trade
have been indeed encouraging. Thus GST offers us the best opinion to broaden our tax base
and we should not miss this opportunity to introduce it when the circumstances are quite
favourable and economy is enjoying steady growth with only mid inflation.

15
 SARAVANAN VENKADASALAM (2014)

 Has analysed the post effect of the goods and service tax (GST) on the national growth on
ASEAN states using Least Squares Dummy Variable Model (LSDVM) in his research paper.
He stated that seven of ten ASEAN nations are already implementing the GST. He also
suggested that the household final consumption expenditure and general government
consumption expenditure are positively significantly related to the gross domestic product as
require and support the economic theories. But the effect of the post GST differs in countries.

 Philippines and Thailand show significant negative relationship with their nation’s
development. Meanwhile, Singapore shows a significant positive relationship. It is
undeniable that those countries whom implementing GST always encounter grows.
Nevertheless, the extent of the impact varies depending on the governance, compliance cost
and economic distortion. A positive impact of GST depends on a neutral and rational design
of the GST such a way it simple, transparent and significantly enhances in voluntary
compliance. It must be actual, not presumptive, prices and compliance control would be
exercised through an auditing system.

16
 HUANG (2013)

 The author examines the relation between the newly introduced GST in Australia in 2000 and
the mortgage costs between 1999 and 2001. The study concludes that given that in Australia
financial services industry is taxed on input taxation basis i.e. the output mortgage service not
liable to GST and GST paid on input services to provide these mortgage services are also not
allowed. This extra cost of sunk input tax is passed in the form of increased mortgage costs to
customers making housing costly post introduction of GST in Australia.

 NEWZEALAND GOVERNMENT(2012)

 The author has traced the GST and import duties applicable on the various imports into New
Zealand. The paper discusses not only the goods on which duty is payable but also whether
further GST is payable on the same goods. The paper also discusses the applicability of the
taxes on the goods ordered and delivered through internet. The paper also discusses various
exemption available like personal effects to the import taxation.

 DR.R.VASANTHAGOPAL(2011)

 Studied, “GST in India: A Big Leap in the Indirect Taxation System” and concluded that
switching to seamless GST from current complicated indirect tax system in India will be a
positive step in booming Indian economy. Success of GST will lead to its acceptance by more
than 130 countries in world and a new preferred form of indirect tax system in Asia also.

17
 EHTISHAM AHMED AND SATYA PODDAR(2009)

 Studied “Goods and Service Tax Reforms and Intergovernmental Consideration in India” and
found that GST introduction will provide simpler and transparent tax system with increase in
output and productivity of economy in India. But the benefits of GST are critically dependent
on rational design of GST.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A research is an argument of conditions for collection and analysis of data in


a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with the economy in the
procedure. In other words, research design is the blue print for the collection, measurement
and analysis of data. This section describes the research methodology adopted to achieve the
objectives of the study. The present study incorporates the collection of both primary and
secondary data. The primary data were collected through questionnaire specially designed for

20
this survey. And the secondary data are collected from journals, books, records of previous
study, articles, web sites etc…

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is a plan, structure strategy of investigation conceived so as to
obtain answer to research questions. Every researcher should prepare a well-defined plan or
design in advance for all research operations. The decision relating to what, where, when,
how much and by what means made up and plan of study.

It is the process by which the researcher evaluates the tools that produce
research findings. This research is a sample survey because it takes a considerable part from a
large population (impact GST among retailers in Tinsukia district) and analyses the sample
part in order to make meaningful interpretations and conclusions. In this study follows the
descriptive in nature.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

Descriptive research is the fact finding investigation. The descriptive study is


designed to gather descriptive information. It provides information for formulating complex
studies. The data needed for study are collected through questionnaire. Descriptive research
describes phenomena as they exist. It is used to identify and obtain information on a
particular problem or issue. In this study is descriptive in nature.

SAMPLE DESIGN

A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling frame it

refers to the technique or procedure the

21
research would adopt in selecting some sampling units. An optimum sampling may be
defined as the size of sample, which fulfils the requirements of efficiency, representativeness,
reliability and flexibility. For the study convenience sampling technique had been used for
collecting primary data through questionnaire.

CONVENIENCE SAMPLING

Convenience sampling is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the


samples being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand. That is, a sample
population selected because it is readily available and convenient, as researchers are drawing
on relationships or networks to which they have easy access

POPULATION

Population of the study is the retailers in Tinsukia district of India. Size of


population of the study is a large one to be managed, sampling method has been adopted.

 SAMPLE SIZE

Sample size is the number of items to be selected from the population to constitute
the sample for the research. A sample should be actual representation of the population. In
order to understand the impact of implementation of GST among retailers. It is decided to
select 60 retailers in Tinsukia district.

22
SOURCES OF DATA

Source of data means the origin from where we collect the data. Generally, the
source of data collection is two types (1) primary source of data (2) secondary source of data.
Primary and secondary have been used in this study and they were collected accordingly.

 PRIMARY DATA

Primary data are those data which are directly collected by the researcher or through
investigator or enumerator for his purpose in first time. The primary data are original in
character.

Here, primary data is collected from the retailers in Tinsukia by using


questionnaire.

 SECONDARY DATA

The secondary data are those data, which have already been collected and published
or compiled for another purpose of the study. It includes not only published records and
reports but also unpublished records. Secondary data require for the study have been gathered
from internet, newspaper, articles, magazines etc…

23
TOOLS FOR ANALYSIS

Under this study in order to analyse and interpret the collected data the following
statistical tools are used.

 SIMPLE PERCENTAGE METHOD

Simple percentage method refers to special kind of ratio percentage that is used in
making comparison between two or more series of data percentage, I used to describe
relationship. Since percentage reduce everything to common days and thereby allow
meaningful comparison to be made. Also it is to classify the opinion of respondents for
different factors.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD

Mean in which each item being averaged is multiplied by a number (weight)


based on the item’s relative importance. The result is summed and the total is divided by the
sum of the weights. Weighted averages are used extensively in descriptive statistical analysis
such as index numbers. Also called weighted mean.

24
CHARTS, DIAGRAMS AND TABLES

Charts, diagrams and tables are used for presentation of the data. It is more
useful to present the results in a simplified manner.

CHI-SQUARE TEST

It is a non-parametric test. The statistical test in which the test statistic follows
x2-distribution, is called x2 test. It tests the significance of difference between observed
frequencies and the corresponding theoretical frequencies of a distribution, without any
assumption about the distribution of the population.

SUGGESTIONS

To conduct awareness classes among retailers.

GST process must be reduced so that business can operate efficiently in the best interest of
the people and for economic growth.

Rate should be rationalized and reduced. Daily usage items such as soaps, creams, electrical
goods, film tickets should not be taxed at 28%

Composition scheme should also be provided to small scale service providers.

Petroleum products and electricity to be brought within the control of GST.

63
CONCLUSION

This study is reveal that under the proposed GST regime, various Indirect Taxes
would be subsumed and hence it is expected that it would result in a simpler tax regime,
especially for industries like FMCG, Textiles, Hotel, Medical shop, jewellery etc…. Apart
from simplification of tax compliances, the rate of tax will also have a significant impact on
the all the specified sectors. In FMCG sector the VAT rate is amount to approximately 22-
24%, under the GST regime the rate would be in the range of 5% to 28%. And in Textile
industry the VAT rate was 4-5%, under the GST regime the rate would be in the range of 5%
to 18%. And in Hotel industry the VAT rate was 5-20%, under the GST regime the rate
would be in the range of 5% to 18%. And in Medical sector the VAT rate was 4%, under the
GST regime the rate would be in the range of 5% to 12%. And in jewellery industry the VAT
rate was 1%, under the GST regime the rate would be 5%. Thereby resulting in significant
impact for these sectors. i.e. the all these sectors have both positive and negative impact from
GST.

Hence I would like to conclude by saying that the Central government has get
more benefit from GST implementation, and the retailers are the main looser. That is the GST
has both positive and negative impact
