CHAPTER -2
2.1 MEANING AND DEFINITION
MEANING
GST, or Goods and Services Tax is an indirect tax imposed on the supply of Goods
and Services. And GST is a consumption based tax charged by the government. It is levied on
the supply of all the goods and services taxable under the GST system in India. The central
government then uses this money in the functioning and administration of the nation. Every
consumer who is adding value in the supply chain will have to pay GST.
DEFINITION
The term GST is defined in Article 366 (12A) to mean “any tax on supply of goods
or services or both except taxes of the alcoholic liquor for human consumption”,
2.2 DEFICIENCIES IN THE VALUE ADDED TAXATION SYSTEM
In the earlier indirect tax regime, a manufacturer of excisable goods charged excise
duty and value added tax (VAT) on intra=state sale of goods. The earlier indirect tax
framework in India suffered from various shortcomings. Under the earlier indirect tax
structure, the various indirect taxes being levied were not necessarily mutually exclusive.
When the goods were manufactured and sold, both central excise duty (CENVAT)
and state level VAT were levied. Though CENVAT and state level VAT were essentially
value added taxes, set off of one against the credit of another was not possible as CENVAT
was a central levy and state level VAT was a state levy.
Central excise duty value added tax was applicable only at manufacturing level and
not at distribution levels. Service tax was also a value added tax and credit across the service
tax and the central excise duty was integrated at the central level.
2.3 HISTORY OF GST
The goods and services tax (GST) is a successor to value added tax (VAT) used in
India on the supply of goods and services. GST is a new era of taxation system of VAT
which is digitalized form of VAT where the goods and service both are included in the
taxation system of GST. It is a comprehensive, multistage, destination based tax. Goods and
services tax which is imposed on goods and services on the bases of five different slabs for
collecting tax like 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%. However petroleum products, alcoholic for
drinks and electricity are not taxed under GST. There is a special rate of 0.25% on rough
precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold. In addition a cess of 22% or other rates
on top of 28% GST applies on several items like aerated drinks, luxury cars and tobacco
products. Pre GST, the statutory tax rate for most goods was about 26.5%, post-GST most
goods are expected to be in the 18% tax range. The main aim of this taxation system is to
check the cascading effect of other indirect taxes and it is applicable throughout India.
The idea of a nationwide GST in India was first proposed by the kelkar tax force on
indirect taxes in 2000. The empowered committee of state finance minister s prepared a
design and roadmap, releasing the first discussion paper in 2009. The Constitution
Amendment Bill was introduced in 2011 but faced challenges regarding compensation to
states and other issues. After years of deliberation and negotiation between the central and
state governments, the constitution (122 nd Amendment) Bill, 2014, was introduced in the
parliament
2.4FEATURES OF GST
GST is a indirect Tax
GST is applicable on supply of goods an services
One tax rate across the country
Destination based consumption tax
Computation of GST on the basis of invoice credit method
Payment of GST-CGST and SGST are paid through GST
GST tax on import and export
No differentiation in Goods or services
TYPES OF GST
DISADVANTAGES
The effect of GST on the manufacturing sector has been mostly positive. It has
helped in reducing the cost of production and simplified the entire tax system.
Under the previous tax regime, manufacturers were required to pay around 25% - 26% more
due to the cascading tax effect. GST has eliminated this ‘tax-on=tax’ regime, enabling
manufacturers to pay a single, unified tax. This means that a large number of goods have got
cheaper, leading to more sales.
More than 90% of the retail industry in India is unorganised and works on cash
payments. As GST is an online tax system which is levied at every stage where value is
added to goods or services, GST impact on small retailers has been positive too. The input tax
credit facility and easier entry into new markets have been some of the biggest advantages of
GST for the retailers.
Distributors, along with wholesalers, play a vital role in the nation’s supply chain.
The GST impact on distributors and wholesalers is widely criticised as it claimed to increase
their tax liabilities. This is not quite true in most cases. It is just that the entire supply chain
can be tracked online with GST and this presents tax evasion which was widely prevalent in
distribution and wholesaling in the past. While the GST impact on telecom distributors is
currently considered unfavourable due to the high GST rate on telecom services, it is
expected that the telecom sector would be moved to a lower GST tax bracket in the future.
While the impact of GST on retailers, manufacturers, and distributors are not what
many of the industries were expecting, the unified tax regime is more focused upon the
greater good of the country. While there have been some hits and misses in the past two
years, more changes are expected in the future to help each member of the supply chain.
2.7 GST REGISRATION:
GST Registration means applying for a unique GST number or GSTIN i.e. GST
Identification. Number on the GST Portal. The taxpayer requires GSTIN to collect amd pay
GST on the outward supplies i.e. sales and claim. GST input tax credit on the inward supplies
i.e purchases. Types of GST Registration depend on the nature of the business.
Compulsory Registration :
Under certain situation, the dealer must take Compulsory Registration under
GST irrespective of the turnover. For eg : interstate sales of taxable goods, e-
commerce operation seller. Etc.
Voluntary Registration :
A business that does not need to apply for compulsory registration can apply
for registration on a voluntary basis. It is called Voluntary Registration under GST.
No Registration :
The following category of persons do not require GST Registration:
The business for which aggregate turnover during the financial year does not
exceed Rs 40 laks for goods (Rs 20 laks for special category states) or Rs 20 laks
for services (Rs 10 laks for special category states).
The business that does not fall under the provision of compulsory registration.
Persons selling goods or services that are exempt under GST or not covered
under GST.
Agriculturists for the supply of crops produced from the cultivation of land.
2.8THREE YEARS OF GST: Past, Present, and Future:
Three years ago, the indirect tax system in India went through a massive change and
taxpayers across the country were introduced to a consumption based indirect tax, the goods
and services tax. Known as India\s most significant and most historic indirect tax reform, this
new system revolutionized the way India perceived indirect tax by introducing uninform
taxation under its philosophy of one nation, one tax. GST as a consistent taxation system
replaced indirect taxes like excise duty, service tax, additional duties of excise and other
duties, customs at the Central Government level as well as State VAT, luxury tax, entry tax,
central sales tax, entertainment and amusement tax, taxes on advertisements, taxes on
lotteries and purchase tax at the State Government level. This marked the start of a tax
revolution in the country-“One Nation, One Tax’.
As a nation, we have come a long way since the Goods and Services Tax was first
implemented on July 1, 2017. Here are the highlight of the Goods and Services Tax journey
since its implementation in India, its challenges and achievements, its future prospects and its
most recent efforts to revive the nation from the economic slump caused due to the novel
Corona virus outbreak and subsequent nationwide lockdown.
India launched the world’s most extensive coordinated lockdown in march 2020 due
to the outbreak of COVID-19 Naturally this lockdown brought already struggling business to
a standstill.2019 already saw India in an economic slump, and the Union Budget 2020 was
mainly focus on introducing automation and advocating digitization in a bid to crackdown on
tax evasion and propose measure for easier GST compliance. Two significant reforms that
were expected to be rolled out in April 2020 were e-invoicing and the new returns system.
These reforms were expected to further the nation’s Digital India campaign with digitized tax
management and tax operations. Unfortunately, the reforms were deferred due to the Corona
virus outbreak.
This meant that all eyes were on the COVID-19 economic stimulus relief package that
was announced by the Centre after India went into lockdown in March 2020. This economic
stimulus package eased several concerns of the otherwise troubled MSME sector who
contribute to a large chunk of the Indian economy.
Tax system and its
importance :-
Tax policies playan important
role ina country’s economy.
The main source of revenue
for
government of India is from
different taxes. Direct and
indirect taxes are the two main
source of
tax revenue generation. When
the impact and incidence is on
same person it is called a
direct
tax. When the impact and
incidence is on different
persons, that is when burden
can be shifted to
from one to other person, it is
called an indirect tax.
The tax system prior to GST
was a multi-layered tax
systemin which taxes were
levied both by
the Central and state
governments at different stages
- like excise duty, octroi,
central sales tax
(CST) and value-added tax
(VAT) and service tax. Table

brief details
about all these types of Tax.
GT :-A gift tax is a central
tax applied to an individual
giving anything of value to
another
person like relatives & friends
For something to be considered a
gift, the receiving party cannot
pay the giver full value for the
consignment or gift, but may pay
an amount lesser than its full
value. It is the giver of the gift
who is required or pay the gift
tax.
CGT :- A capital gains tax
(CGT) is a tax on capital gains,
the profit realized on the sale of a
noninventory assets that was
greater than the amount on the
sale.
DDT :-When a company
announces dividends, it is liable
to pay as a tax on the amount that
is
paid as dividend. This tax is
called the Dividend Distribution
Tax (DDT). Investors can receive
dividends from 2 different types
of companies: -
Domestic and Foreign. The tax
situation for each of these is
varies.
STT :-The securities
transaction tax (STT) was
introduced in India few years ago
to avoid tax
evasion in case of capital gains.
Earlier, many people avoided
declaring their profits on the sale
of
stocks, Property, and avoided
paying capital gains tax, so the
government could only tax those
profits, which were declared by
people on sale of Property . So to
fix this problem, the former
Finance Minister P Chidambaram
in the Union Budget 2004-2005
introduced this tax.

Tax system and its
importance :-
Tax policies playan important
role ina country’s economy.
The main source of revenue
for
government of India is from
different taxes. Direct and
indirect taxes are the two main
source of
tax revenue generation. When
the impact and incidence is on
same person it is called a
direct
tax. When the impact and
incidence is on different
persons, that is when burden
can be shifted to
from one to other person, it is
called an indirect tax.
The tax system prior to GST
was a multi-layered tax
systemin which taxes were
levied both by
the Central and state
governments at different stages
- like excise duty, octroi,
central sales tax
(CST) and value-added tax
(VAT) and service tax. Table

brief details
about all these types of Tax.
GT :-A gift tax is a central
tax applied to an individual
giving anything of value to
another
person like relatives & friends
For something to be considered a
gift, the receiving party cannot
pay the giver full value for the
consignment or gift, but may pay
an amount lesser than its full
value. It is the giver of the gift
who is required or pay the gift
tax.
CGT :- A capital gains tax
(CGT) is a tax on capital gains,
the profit realized on the sale of a
noninventory assets that was
greater than the amount on the
sale.
DDT :-When a company
announces dividends, it is liable
to pay as a tax on the amount that
is
paid as dividend. This tax is
called the Dividend Distribution
Tax (DDT). Investors can receive
dividends from 2 different types
of companies: -
Domestic and Foreign. The tax
situation for each of these is
varies.
STT :-The securities
transaction tax (STT) was
introduced in India few years ago
to avoid tax
evasion in case of capital gains.
Earlier, many people avoided
declaring their profits on the sale
of
stocks, Property, and avoided
paying capital gains tax, so the
government could only tax those
profits, which were declared by
people on sale of Property . So to
fix this problem, the former
Finance Minister P Chidambaram
in the Union Budget 2004-2005
introduced this tax.

2.9OBJECTIVES OF GST:
In the earlier indirect tax regime, there were many indirect taxes levied by both the
state and the centre. State mainly collected taxes in the form of Value Added Tax
(VAT)..Every state had a different set of rules and regulations.
Inter-state sale of goods was taxed by the centre. CST (Central State Tax) was
applicable in case of inter-state sales of goods. The indirect taxes such as the
entertainment tax, control and local tax were levied together By state and centre. These led
to a lot of overlapping of taxes levied by both the state and the centre.
For example, when goods were manufactured and sold, excise duty was charged by
the centre. Over and above the excise duty, VAT was also charged by the state. It led to a
tax on tax effect, also known as the cascading effect of taxes.
The following is the list of indirect taxes in the pre-GST regime
Central Excise Duty
Duties of Excise
Additional Duties of Excise
Additional duties of Customs
Special Additional Duty of Customs
Cess
State VAT
Central Sales Tax
Purchase Tax
Luxury Tax
Entertainment Tax
Entry Tax
Taxes on advertisements
Taxes on lotteries, betting, and gambling.
:
CGST, SGST, AND IGST have replaced all the above taxes.
However, certain taxes such as the GST levied for the inter-state purchase at a concessional
rate of 2% by the issue and utilization of ‘Form C’ is still prevalent .
Resale
Use in manufacturing or processing
Use in certain sectors such as the telecommunication network, mining, the generation
or distribution of electricity or any other power sector.
2.11 NEW COMPLIANCE UNDER GST:
Apart from online filing of the GST returns, the GST regime has introduced several new
systems along with it.
E-WAY BILLS
Under the e-way bill system, manufacturers, traders and transporters can generate
e-way bills for the goods transported from the place of its origin to its destination on a
common portal with ease. Tax authorities are also benefited as this system has reduced time
at check posts and helps reduce tax evasion.
E-INVOICING:
The E-invoicing system was made applicable from 1st October 2020 for
businesses with an annual aggregate turnover of more than Rs 500 crore in any preceding
financial years (from 2017-18). Further, from 1st January 2021, this system was extended to
those with an annual aggregate turnover of more than Rs 100 crore.
These businesses must obtain a unique invoice reference number for every
business to business invoice by uploading on the GSTN’s invoice registration portal. The
portal verifies the correctness and genuineness of the invoice. Thereafter, it authorises using
the digital signature along with a QR code.
E-invoicing allows interoperability of invoices and helps reduce data entry errors.
It is designed to pass the invoice information directly from the IRP to the GST portal and the
E-way bill portal. It will, therefore, eliminate the requirement for manual data entry while
Filing GSTR-1 and helps in the generation of E-way bills too.
2.12 BEFITS OF GST BILL IMPLENTATION:
The entire Indian will be a unified market which may translate into lower business
costs. It can facilitate seamless movement of goods states and reduce the transaction
costs of business.
It is good for export oriented business. Because it is not applied for goods or services
which are exported out of India.
In the long run, the lower tax burden could translate into lower prices on goods and
consumer’s.
The suppliers, manufactures, wholesalers and retailers are able to recover GST
incurred on input costs as tax credits. This reduces the cost of doing business, this
enabling fairer prices for consumers.
.
2.13 PROCEDURE OF GST:
Every person who is register under the pre-GST law (i.e, Excise, VAT, Service tax
etc) needs is register under GST.
When a business which is registered has been transferred to someone, the
transferee.shall take registration with effect from the date of transfer.
Anyone who drives inter-state supply of goods.
Casual taxable person.
Non-resident taxable person.
Agents of a supplier.
Those paying tax under the reverse charge mechanism.
Input service distributor.
E-commerce operator or aggregator..
Person supplying online information and database access or retrieval services from a
place outside India is a person in India, other than a registered Taxable Person.
