RESEARCH DESIGN
INTRODUCTION OF GST
Goods and services are divided into five different tax slabs for collection of tax:
0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. However, petroleum products, alcoholic drinks,
and electricity are not taxed under GST and instead are taxed separately by the
individual state governments, as per the previous tax system.[citation needed] There is a
special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold.
[1]
In addition a cess of 22% or other rates on top of 28% GST applies on few items
like aerated drinks, luxury cars and tobacco products.[2] 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 tax came into effect from 1 July 2017 through the implementation of the One
Hundred and First Amendment of the Constitution of India by the Indian
Page 6
GST in INDIA
The tax rates, rules and regulations are governed by the GST Council which
consists of the finance ministers of the central government and all the states. The
GST is meant to replace a slew of indirect taxes with a federated tax and is
therefore expected to reshape the country's $2.4 trillion economy, but its
implementation has received criticism.[3] Positive outcomes of the GST includes
the travel time in interstate movement, which dropped by 20%, because of
disbanding of interstate check posts.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Taxes subsumed
The single GST subsumed several taxes and levies, which included central excise
duty, services tax, additional customs duty, surcharges, state-level value added
tax and Octroi.[22][23] Other levies which were applicable on inter-state
transportation of goods have also been done away with in GST regime.[24][25] GST is
levied on all transactions such as sale, transfer, purchase, barter, lease, or import of
goods and/or services.
India adopted a dual GST model, meaning that taxation is administered by both the
Union and state governments. Transactions made within a single state are levied
with Central GST (CGST) by the Central Government and State GST (SGST) by
the State governments. For inter-state transactions and imported goods or services,
an Integrated GST (IGST) is levied by the Central Government. GST is a
consumption-based tax/destination-based tax, therefore, taxes are paid to the state
where the goods or services are consumed not the state in which they were
produced. IGST complicates tax collection for State Governments by disabling
them from collecting the tax owed to them directly from the Central Government.
Under the previous system, a state would only have to deal with a single
government in order to collect tax revenue.[26]
HSN code
Page 8
GST in INDIA
Central Excise. Later Customs and Central Excise added two more digits to make
the codes more precise, resulting in an 8 digit classification. The purpose of HSN
codes is to make GST systematic and globally accepted.
HSN codes will remove the need to upload the detailed description of the goods.
This will save time and make filing easier since GST returns are automated.
Rate
The GST is imposed at variable rates on variable items. The rate of GST is 18% for
soaps and 28% on washing detergents. GST on movie tickets is based on slabs,
with 18% GST for tickets that cost less than ₹100 and 28% GST on tickets costing
more than ₹100 and 28% on commercial vehicle and private and 5% on
readymade clothes.[27] The rate on under-construction property booking is 12%.
[28]
Some industries and products were exempted by the government and remain
untaxed under GST, such as dairy products, products of milling industries, fresh
vegetables & fruits, meat products, and other groceries and necessities.[29]
Checkposts across the country were abolished ensuring free and fast movement of
goods.[30] Such efficient transportation of goods was further ensured by
subsuming octroi within the ambit of GST.
Page 9
GST in INDIA
The Central Government had proposed to insulate the revenues of the States from
the impact of GST, with the expectation that in due course, GST will be levied on
petroleum and petroleum products. The central government had assured states of
compensation for any revenue loss incurred by them from the date of GST for a
period of five years. However, no concrete laws have yet been made to support
such action.[31] GST council adopted concept paper discouraging tinkering with
rates.[32]
e-Way Bill
A unique e-Way Bill Number (EBN) is generated either by the supplier, recipient
or the transporter. The EBN can be a printout, SMS or written on invoice is valid.
The GST/Tax Officers tally the e-Way Bill listed goods with goods carried with it.
The mechanism is aimed at plugging loopholes like overloading, understating etc.
Each e-way bill has to be matched with a GST invoice.
Page 10
GST in INDIA
Intra-State e-Way Bill The five states piloting this project are Andhra Pradesh,
Gujarat, Kerala, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh, which account for 61.8% of the
inter-state e-way bills, started mandatory intrastate e-way bill from 15 April 2018
to further reduce tax evasion.[34] It was successfully introduced in Karnataka from 1
April 2018.[35] The intrastate e-way bill will pave the way for a seamless,
nationwide single e-way bill system. Six more states Jharkhand, Bihar, Tripura,
Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Haryana will roll it out from 20 April 18. All
states are mandated to introduce it by 30 May 2018.
Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is a system in GST where the receiver pays the
tax on behalf of unregistered, smaller material and service suppliers. The receiver
of the goods is eligible for Input Tax Credit, while the unregistered dealer is not.
QRMP Scheme
This is a recent amendment in GST Taxation System. If a taxpayer opts for this
scheme he will have to file GST Returns on Quarterly basis instead of regular
Page 11
GST in INDIA
monthly basis, but Tax payment will have to be done monthly. QRMP means
quarterly return monthly payment.
Revenue distribution
Revenue earned from GST (intra state transaction - seller and buyer both are
located in same state) is shared equally on 50-50 basis between central and
respective state governments.[37][38] Example: if state of Goa has collected a total
GST revenue (intra state transaction - seller and buyer both are located in same
state) of 100 crores in month of January then share of central government (CGST)
will be 50 crores and remaining 50 crores will be share of Goa state
government (SGST) for month of January.[39]
For distribution of IGST (inter state transaction - seller and buyer both are located
in different states) collection, revenue is collected by central government and
shared with state where good is imported.[39][40] Example: 'A' is a seller located in
state of Goa selling a product to 'B' a buyer of that product located in state
of Punjab, then IGST collected from this transaction will be shared equally on 50-
50 basis between central and Punjab state governments only.

OBJECTIVES OF GST
GST is vital for the functioning of the Indian economy. The government
aims to simplify the entire taxation procedure and bring more businesses under the
taxation system. It will help them generate significant revenue from these taxes,
which they can use for the developmental activities within the country.
It helps create a common market in India with a uniform taxation system and
curb tax evasion in the country. The laws for GST are far more stringent
compared to the erstwhile indirect tax laws. The aim is to have a nationwide
surveillance system under GST, making it easier to catch defaulters and tax
evaders.
It removes the cascading effect of the indirect taxes on a single transaction.
It also allows the setting off for prior taxes that are related to the same
transactions in the form of the input tax credit. Under GST, the tax is
applicable only on the net value added during each stage of the supply chain.
The government aims to reduce the need for multiple documentation under
the previous taxation system by introducing a consolidated tax like GST.
The idea is to help companies with an uncomplicated tax filing procedure
that will improve their efficiency and cut down the overall costs associated
with business processes.
It helps to subsume most indirect taxes into a single taxation system that
reduces the burden of compliance for taxpayers and eases the government’s
tax administration process. The main aim of this taxation system is to
Page 13

GST in INDIA
GST refers the Goods & Service tax and it going to comprise the various
VAT acts presently in force at state and central levels. Hence the proposed GST
has the different kind of taxes whish as follows: CGST – Central Goods & Service
tax which levied by Centre SGST – State Goods & Service tax which levied by
State IGST – Integrated Goods & Service tax .This is tax which will be attracting
on inter-state supply of goods & services. This will be levied and collected by the
Central Government. This would be CGST plus SGST.
There are four different types of GST levied on the goods and services in India that
are as follows:
Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) – The Central Government of India
charges the CGST on transactions related to goods and services within a
state.
State Goods and Service Tax (SGST) – The State Governments in India
charge the SGST on transactions related to goods and services within a state.
It gets charged along with the CGST.
Union Territory Goods and Service Tax (UGST) – The Union Territories in
India charge the UGST on transactions related to goods and services within
their boundaries. It gets charged along with the CGST.
Integrated Goods and Service Tax (IGST) – If the transaction related to
goods and services is between two states, the government will impose the
Integrated GST. It is also applicable to imports and exports. The Taxes
charged under IGST are shared both by the centre and state.

5. Bring uniformity in tax structure: GST has unified the whole tax structure
of the nation. It has introduced the same tax rates for products and services
across the country.
Page 19

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
1. Some Economist says that GST in India would impact negatively on the real
estate market. It would add up to 8 percent to the cost of new homes and
reduce demand by about 12 percent.
2. Some Experts says that CGST(Central GST), SGST(State GST) are nothing
but new names for Central Excise/Service Tax, VAT and CST. Hence, there
is no major reduction in the number of tax layers.
3. Some retail products currently have only a four percent tax on them. After
GST, garments, and clothes could become more expensive.
4. The aviation industry would be affected. Service taxes on airfares currently
range from six to nine percent. With GST, this rate will surpass fifteen
percent and effectively double the tax rate.
5. Adoption and migration to the new GST system would involve teething
troubles and learning for the entire ecosystem.
6. Increased Costs: It is seen that GST compels businesses to convert their
present accounting software to ERP or GST-compliant software with a view
to keeping their operations running. But one also has to remember that the
businesses may incur substantial expenses for buying, installing, and then
training employees to use GST-compliant software.
In addition to this, the costs of doing business have increased
considerably not only for big businesses but also for small ones since they
have to hire tax professionals in order to become GST-compliant.

CHAPTER SCHEME
Composition Scheme is a simple and easy scheme under GST for taxpayers. Small
taxpayers can get rid of tedious GST formalities and pay GST at a fixed rate of
turnover. This scheme can be opted by any taxpayer whose turnover is less than
Rs. 1.5 crore*
You can know whether a taxpayer opted for a composition scheme or not using
the GST search tool. Enter any GSTIN and check the ‘Taxpayer Type’ column in
the results to know whether the taxpayer is a regular taxpayer or opted for the
composition scheme.

ACHIEVEMENTS
In 2022, GST has successfully completed its 5 years. Like any other things, GST
also had its ups and downs or say pros and cons. Here I have tried to summarise in
10 achievements and opportunities that became possible because of GST and 10
risks and challenges arising due to GST. Achievements and Opportunities during 5
years of GST
3. Seamless flow of credit among states: Earlier there was restriction in ITC flow
of State levies for inter-state trade. Now you can obtain goods and services from
Page 31
GST in INDIA
PAN India and get ITC unhindered. This has reduced the cost of tax burden
substantially.
5. Ease of compliance:- Earlier, a taxpayer had to comply multiple tax laws and
follow the procedures of all of them, but now all laws have been merged in one and
single procedure has to be followed. Consequently compliance has become easier
especially for corporate manufacturers who had to earlier comply a plethora of
laws and now all replaced by one.
8. Reduced corruption:- Since the process have been made more objective, and
with decrease in discretion power of the authorities and with increased
transparency and accountability, the scope of corruption have reduced
substantially. Further the routine operations like processing of various types of
Page 32
GST in INDIA
applications like registrations, refund etc. have become more time bound and
quick.
9. Faceless process:- The efforts are being made to convert the process into
faceless mechanism. This will make the system robust, as the tax evaders will not
be able to escape, and the genuine taxpayers will get justice.
10. Opportunity for rural business units to serve at national platform due to legal
uniformity and technological integration. The standardization of tax process all
over India makes it easier for MSME to make supplies all over India because now
they can accurately assess the tax impact due to sales in other states of the country
and majority of the compliances can also be taken care of from their state itself. No
statewise compliance is required. This homogeneous tax system makes it possible
for the MSME to conduct trade at national level. This is further supported by the
development of e-commerce website, which would have been very difficult in case
of pre-GST regime.

It also provides web development services in various fields like Android, Java and
ASP.NET developments.
Employees: – SAG Infotech Pvt. Ltd. has around 150-170 employees in the
company. These include the number of trainees also. The company has its own
Academy also where they can provide training to their trainees in various fields.
The training center is also located in Jaipur.

GST was introduced with the aim of minimizing the tax burden and inflation rates.
An amalgamation of various taxes, GST is a comprehensive, uniform, multi-stage,
destination-based tax system that is applied to every value addition. Although the
new tax regime has brought some tax relief, a fact that is undeniable is that the
significant increase in compliance cost.
The GST tax structure comprises of Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST),
State Goods and Services Tax (SGST), Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST)
and Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (UTGST). There are four slab tiers
ranging from 5 percent to 28 percent wherein the lowest are for essential items and
the highest for luxury goods.

GST in INDIA
Goods and Service Tax [GST] is an indirect tax levied on the supply of
goods and services. This law has replaced many indirect tax laws that previously
existed in India. GST is implemented to bring “ONE NATION ONE MARKET
ONE TAX” system across 29 states of the country. It has been brought in to cut
down the VAT which was been included in the chain of supply. It is a mandatory
fee imposed by the government on individuals and firms or organisation and
concern, where the money will be reused or spent by the government on the
activities and project that provide mutual benefit to the community. GST will be
beneficial for the Indian economy as a whole and it is expected that the gross
domestic product [GDP] of the country will increase by 1-2% over the years.
Interestingly the study covers the buying behaviour of the consumers and has
found that a majority of the respondents are aware of the new tax system which
was brought into existence on July 1st 2017.
Page 44
GST in INDIA
FMCG, etc. will be a bit cheaper. This will help reduce the burden on the common
man, who will have to spend less money to buy the same goods/ services which
were more expensive earlier. Low prices will directly or indirectly increase
demand/consumption of goods. Increased demand will ultimately enhance supply.
Therefore, this will eventually increase the production of goods. Boost in
production, in the long run, will increase job opportunities. However, this can only
happen when consumers actually get goods at cheaper costs. This will curb the
circulation of black money. It will only be possible when the kaccha or Invalid
Bill system, normally followed by traders and shopkeepers will be checked.
For better compliance, proper invoicing and accounting are necessary. However,
there are various companies that are developing GST accounting software. If the
actual benefits are not passed on to the consumer and the seller increases his profit
margin, then the prices of the goods may also increase. The rise in inflation can be
observed initially, however, it may also come down gradually. The activities of
profiteering will have to be strictly checked so that the end consumer can enjoy the
real benefits of GST. Compliance burden businessmen have to submit GST and
file the return on time. Filing GST returns is not as easy as it sounds. businessmen
must appoint a tax professional to manage it. The government is taking steps to
make return filing easier and to keep it simple. But, even then, it will take time to
actually smoothen the entire process from start to end. Large businesses with
enough employees can handle the entire process easily But for small
traders/merchants/service providers or individuals who have just started their
business or service, it is still complex.
Page 45
GST in INDIA
DATA ANALYSIS
GST has brought in ‘one nation one tax’ system, but its effect on various
industries is slightly different. The first level of differentiation will come in
depending on whether the industry deals with manufacturing, distributing and
retailing or is providing a service.
Page 46
GST in INDIA
But due to GST business which was not under the tax bracket previously will now
have to register. This will lead to lesser tax evasion.
As of March 2014, there were 12, 76,861 service tax assessees in the country out
of which only the top 50 paid more than 50% of the tax collected nationwide. Most
of the tax burden is borne by domains such as IT services, telecommunication
services, the Insurance industry, business support services, Banking and Financial
services, etc. These pan-India businesses already work in a unified market and will
see compliance burden becoming lesser. But they will have to separately register
every place of business in each state.

E-commerce

Telecommunications
In the telecom sector, prices will come down after GST. Manufacturers will
save on costs through efficient management of inventory and by consolidating
their warehouses. Handset manufacturers will find it easier to sell their
equipment as GST has negated the need to set up state-specific entities, and
transfer stocks. The will also save up on logistics costs.
Textile
Real Estate
The real estate sector is one of the most pivotal sectors of the Indian economy,
playing an important role in employment generation in India. The impact of
GST on the real estate sector cannot be fully assessed as it largely depends on
the tax rates. However, the sector will see substantial benefits from GST
implementation, as it has brought to the industry much-required transparency
and accountability.
Agriculture

GST in INDIA
The agricultural sector is the largest contributing sector the overall Indian GDP.
It covers around 16% of Indian GDP. One of the major issues faced by the
agricultural sector is the transportation of agri-products across state lines all
over India. GST will resolve the issue of transportation.
Freelancers
Freelancing in India is still a nascent industry and the rules and regulations for
this chaotic industry are still up in the air. But with GST, it will become much
easier for freelancers to file their taxes as they can easily do it online. They are
taxed as service providers, and the new tax structure has brought about
coherence and accountability in this sector.

Iterpretation
The tax rate on job work for textiles and textile products has been
reduced 5% from 18% showing high agreeability. As there is a rate cut down for
leather after the implementation of GST there is a considerable increase in the
agreeability for the purchase of leather products and that is illustrated in the above
graph. The purchase agreeability towards toys has come down since after the
implementation of GST the prices have increased by up to 20% and that is evident
in the graph given above.

bring businesses into the formal economy. Being GST-compliant, businesses
can experience the merits of having a unified tax system and easy input
credits. Stakeholders welcome GST implementation as a new change as it
helps boost the economy. Even though GST serves as a historical tax reform
in India, there are several downsides that make this tax challenging to
implement.
The goods and services tax (GST) has been presented as the major tax reform for
the Indian economy. It is therefore of importance to examine the impact it has had
on the economy, as well as on the citizens of the economy. There are three broad
categories of evidence to look at:
The economy
Tax administration/compliance
Revenues of various governments
