GST (Good and Service Tax) in India
Authors
Sumit Kumar Singh
Abstract
Indian system of taxation of goods and services is characterized by cascading, distortionary tax on production of goods and services which leads to miss-allocation of resources, hampering productivity and slower economic growth. To remove this hurdle, a pure and simple tax system like GST (Goods and Service Tax) is need of the hour in the country. An ideal tax system collects taxes at various stages of manufacturing, supply, wholesale, retailing and lastly at the final consumption. It is based on the add-on value by the manufacturer, supplier and retailer at each stage of the value chain. Tax paid at each stage is based on the amount of value added and not on the entire amount. GST (Goods & Services Tax) is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the consumer. 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. GST has been envisaged as a more efficient tax system, neutral in its application and distributional attractive.
