CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
GST is the most ambitious and remarkable indirect tax reform in India’s
post-Independence history. Its objective is to levy a single national
uniform tax across India on all goods and services. GST has replaced a
number of Central and State taxes, made India more of a national
integrated market, and brought more producers into the tax net. By
improving efficiency, it can add substantially to growth as well as
government finances. Implementing a new tax, encompassing both goods
and services, by the Centre and the States in a large and complex federal
system, is perhaps unprecedented in modern global tax history.
As already noted, prior to the introduction of GST, the indirect tax system
of India suffered from various limitations. There was a burden of tax-on-tax
in the pre-GST system of Central excise duty and the sales tax system of
the States. GST has taken under its wings a profusion of indirect taxes of
the Centre and the States. It has integrated taxes on goods and services
for set-off relief. Further, it has also captured certain value additions in the
distributive trade. There is now a continuous chain of set- offs which would
eliminate the burden of all cascading effects.
2
supplies of goods or of service take place. Recently, Union Minister Mr.
Arun Jaitley said that GST could be implemented as early as January 1,
2016.
1.1.1 MEANING:
Clauses 366 (12A) of the constitution Bill defines GST as ―goods and
service tax means any tax on supply of goods, or services or both except
taxes on the supply of the liquor for human consumption. Further the
clause 366 (26A) of the Bill defines Services means manufacture, sale and
consumption of goods and services at a national level . The proposed tax
will be levied on all transactions involving supply of goods and services,
except those which are kept out of its preview.
3. Dual GST: The Centre and the States would simultaneously levy tax
on a common base. The GST to be levied by the Centre would be
called Central GST (CGST) and the GST to be levied by the States
(including Union territories with legislature) would be called State
3
GST (SGST). Union territories without legislature would levy Union
territory GST (UTGST).
4
Special Goods and Services for GST tax Levy:
Under special category of goods and services, GST rates would be high.
Precious metals including luxury items of goods and services fall under
special goods and services for GST rate implementations.

1.6 OVERVIEW OF STUDY
GST Day to day life
As most of our readers are already aware, the GST council has finalized
the GST rates across different goods & service categories. The tax range
is divided into the different slabs i.e. 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% & 28%.
Let's see how your life changes with the introduction of GST and how much
more or less you need to shell out from your pocket.
Footwear:
Be ready to shell out more for footwear which costs more than Rs 500
as the GST rate is kept at 18% as compared to the earlier 14.41%.
However, the rate for footwear costing below Rs 500 is reduced to 5%.
Garments:
Buying your next shirt or trouser will cost you a little less as the GST rate
for ready-made garments is reduced to 12% from the existing 18.16%.
Even booking your cab is slightly cheaper now as the tax rate is reduced
to 5% from 6% for any taxi booked online like on Ola, Uber or Meru.
Airline ticket:
There is no change for an economy flight ticket price but GST for a
business class ticket will attract 12% rate.
Jewellery:
Gold investment will be slightly more expensive due to a higher GST
rate.
6
Buying real estate:
.
If you are planning to buy an under construction real estate property, then
you will stand to get more benefit than a ready to move in property.
Your builder will get input tax credit and can pass on the same to you in
terms or reduced prices.
Hotel stay:
For a room rent of less than Rs 1,000, there wont be any GST, but in case it
is more than Rs 5,000 then it will have a GST rate of 28%.
Buying a car:
Most of the cars across different segments will become cheaper but the
same will not be applicable for hybrid cars as the GST rate is 28% on all
the vehicles irrespective of its make, model or engine capacity and also
depends on a particular car segment.
Mobile bills:

Evolution of GST in India
The idea of moving towards a GST was proposed in 2005 by the then
Union Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram in his budget speech for the year
2005-06 where he observed that the entire production-distribution chain
should be covered by a goods and services tax that encompasses both the
Centre and the States. He reiterated his idea in 2006-07 budget speech
and proposed April 1, 2010 as the date for introducing GST. Towards this
objective, an Empowered Committee (EC) of State Finance Ministers was
to work with the Central Government to prepare a roadmap for introduction
of GST. The final version of the report of EC was presented in the form of
‘A Model and Roadmap for Goods and Services Tax in India’ on April 30,
2008.
8
Constitution (115th Amendment) Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha to
operationalize the GST and enable Centre and States to make laws for
levying of GST. However, the Bill lapsed with the dissolution of the 15th
Lok Sabha.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
With the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax or the GST, there
is so much talk about the new tax system all over India. While it is important
to understand what the GST is and how it impacts different industries, we
must also look at how it will change our daily lives. In this article, we are
going to see how the GST will affect the cost of services that we use on a
daily basis.
Before we begin, let’s take a look at the evolution of service tax in India.
The taxation of services began in 1994 (as soon as the government realised
that services made up about 40% of our GDP), at which time a 5 % service
tax was levied upon three services: telephone, non-life insurance, and tax
in
9
brokerage services. Three more services–advertising, courier and radio
pager services–soon followed in 1996. In the following year (1997), the
service tax base was expanded from six to 15 services (including air travel,
renting marriage halls, service provided by recruitment agencies, etc.).
While the service tax of 5% remained constant for a decade (until the 2002-
2003 financial year), it was increased to 8% in 2003. In 2004, two new
tax conditions were added: an education cess of 2% of ST(service tax)
was introduced, and the service tax was increased from 8-10%, making the
total service tax equivalent to 10.2%.
With this understanding, let’s take a step into the future and analyze how
the GST will change our daily lives in 2022.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Ahamd et al. (2016), found that the level of awareness of the GST is
still not reached a satisfactory level. This is because the study involved
only general questions that should be known by the respondents as end
users. This cause the respondents gave high negative perception of the
impact of implementation of GST.
11
Times of India dated (27 July, 2017), stated that the GST implication
across different places for the same product has wider differences which
the consumers are unaware, resulting them in surprise. Ex A Rasamalai
sold in counter at a shop is taxed with 5% but if it is served in the hotel it is
taxed with 18% this has resulted in difference of consumers shopping to
purchase the similar products.
Nitin Kumar (2014) studied, “Goods and Service Tax- A Way Forward”
that implementing GST in India would help in removing current indirect tax
system and expected to encourage unbiased tax structure which is
indifferent to geographical locations. Nishita Gupta (2014) in her study
stated that by implementing GST would give many benefits to our
12
country which is not given by current tax structure and will benefit the
economy.
Ahmed and 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.
Ben Fillip and Matt Taylor (2015) look into the different scenario of GST
base expansion and rate changes as well, that may affect the different
income groups of households in Australia. They also explore the possibility
of combining this exercise with the Income Tax rate changes. They
evaluated the different expenditure patterns of different types of income
groups. They concluded that either expanding the GST base or increasing
the rate of GST in Australia may cause a regressive taxation that may
negatively affect the income position of low-income households more than
that of their higher income counterparts. It is clear that they have tried to
evaluate the GST from the consumers’ point of view.
Kumar (2014) discussed that the GST will help in removing the economic
deformation by indirect tax system in India and encourage the unbiased tax
structure in different part of India.
Pinki et.al, (2014) concluded that the GST will be beneficial for the central
government, state government and consumer for long duration of time. IT
infrastructure will be playing a crucial role for the effective implementation
of the GST.
13
PohJin Goh et al., (2017) highlighted the overall view of GST in Malaysia
and suggested that there is a significant need for the Malaysian
government to put in more effort to ensure that consumers have a clear
understanding and develop a positive perception towards GST, leading to
its acceptance. They have pointed out the need to GST awareness among
the Taxpayers in Malaysia. But this feature cannot be limited to any
particular region or community. Spreading of awareness is key to ensuring
the success of taxation reforms.
Poh (2014) examined the GST policy in Malaysia and pointed the most
crucial and hidden truth of goods and services tax. He said that GST
looking good on paper but it will increase 2% tax on the goods and services
which ultimately increase the price and decrease the demand in short and
long term of duration.
Palil (2011) explained that the GST will increase at least 4% of products
price but due to lack of awareness and knowledge about the GST the price
of the products may increase because of a hoarding among mentality
among the public.
14
the Government thus reducing the tax base. This is very much relevant in
India as visible in large number of fake invoice cases i.e credit laundering.
Hafizah et al., (2013) underlined the basic requirements of GST and they
look into the implementation of GST system in Malaysia, its need,
operational framework and other aspects needed for successful
implementation. This work gives fair insight to gain the ground for further
research.
Williams (1996) compare the contemporary indirect tax system in the world
and indirect tax or value added tax in Republic of Fiscalia. He discussed
about the advantages and disadvantages of Goods and Services tax
practices and advised to the creation of international body to lineup and
manages the VAT policies throughout the countries.
Tripathi, (2011) discussed about the various issues related with the value
added tax and its impact on the different section of the society.
Goods and services tax would be present in all types of services and goods
produced and making it possible to pay tax by the all section of the society.
GST is an important tool to increase the revenue from the each and every
section of the society.
15
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 setoff, subsuming of several
taxes in the GST and phasing out of CST.
Mrs. Poonam (2017) in her study stated that the introduction of GST would
be a very significant step in the field of indirect tax. The cascading or double
taxation effects could be reduced by combining many central and state
taxes. Consumer’s tax burden will reduce to 25% to 30% after introduction
of GST. After introduction of GST Indian products would become more
competitive in the domestic and international markets. This tax would
instantly encourage economic growth.

3.6 Limitation of the Study:
1. The sample size was small and cannot be applied to the entire
population.
2. GST is new launched tax system so some complications are faced by
the peoples.
3. GST has given rise to complexity for many business owners across
the nation. SMEs with a total income of Rs.75 lakh could avail the
composition scheme, pay a mere 1% tax on turnover and abide by
less compliances; however, the trade-off is that they cannot claim
credit for input tax.
4. GST has received criticism for being called a ‘Disability Tax’ as it now
taxes articles such as braille paper, wheelchairs, hearing aid etc.
