Before going on dialogue we should define GST and the Goal supporting it.

What’s GST?

GST is a tax on products and services with comprehensive and continuous chain of set-off advantages from the Producer’s point and Service supplier’s point upto the merchant level. It is fundamentally a tax only on value addition at every stage and a provider at every point is allowed to set-off through a tax credit mechanism. Under GST structure, all different stages of production and distribution could be interpreted as a mere tax pass and the taxation basically sticks final consumption within the taxing jurisdiction.

Objective behind GST

A) The incidence of taxation only drops on domestic consumption. B) The efficiency and equity of the system is already optimized. C ) There shouldn’t be any export of taxation across taxing jurisdictions. D) The Indian market should be integrated into one common market. E) It enriches the reason for co-operative federalism.

Our comparative discussion is going to be based only on important points constructing overall GST.

GST MODEL

A dual structure has been advocated from the EC. The 2 elements are: Central GST (CGST) to be imposed by the center and say GST (SGST) by the states.

GST tax consultant has also recommended for its dual lie imposed simultaneously by the centre and the nations, but independently to market co-operative federalism. Both the CGST and SGST ought to be imposed on a common and indistinguishable base.

Both have suggested for ingestion type GST, that is, there should not be a distinction between raw materials and capital goods in permitting input . The tax base should extend over all services and goods upto final consumption point.

Additionally both are of the opinion that the GST ought to be structured on the destination principle. In accordance with Task Force this is going to result in the change from production to consumption where imports will probably be liable to both CGST and SGST and exports must be relieved of the load of goods and services tax by no evaluation. Consequently, earnings will accrue to the state where the consumption takes place or is deemed to happen.

As a result, all different stages of production and distribution can be interpreted as a mere tax pass-through along with the tax will efficiently’stick’ on final consumption within the taxing jurisdiction. This will facilitate elimination of this cascading effect at various phases of production and supply.
