INTRODUCTION

GST stands for goods and service tax and was implemented on 1st of July 2017 in India. This indirect
taxation system thus went through a chain of amendment since its inception. Goods and service tax law
in India is a comprehensive, multi-stage destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition.
With introduction of GST law, the government aimed to consolidate all indirect taxes under one
umbrella.
GST is a multi-stage tax system which is comprehensive in nature and applied on sale of goods and
services. The main aim of this taxation system is to curb the cascading effect of other indirect taxes and
it is applicable throughout Indian
GST is considered as an indirect tax for whole nation that would make India one unified common
market. It is a single tax which is imposed on supply of goods, right from the manufacturer to
customer. The credits on input taxes that are paid at each stage available in subsequent stage of value
addition on each stage. The final consumer will bear only the tax charged by the last dealer in supply
chain with set of benefits that are at all the previous stages. GST is a single domestic indirect tax law
for entire country.
GST is designed to give India a world class tax system and improve tax collection. It would end the
long-standing distortion of differential treatment of manufacturing sector and services sector. GST will
facilitate scam less credit across the entire supply chain and across all states under a common tax base.

1.2 Need and importance of topic

For Business:

Simplified Tax Structure: GST replaces a complex and fragmented tax structure with a unified system.
This simplification reduces the compliance burden on businesses, making it easier to understand and
adhere to tax regulations.
Input Tax Credit (ITC): GST allows businesses to claim Input Tax Credit on the taxes they pay on input
goods and services. This means they can offset the tax they pay on inputs against the tax they collect on
sales, reducing their overall tax liability. This promotes cost efficiency.
Reduction in Tax Cascading: GST eliminates the cascading effect of taxes. Businesses are taxed only
on the value they add to a product or service, as opposed to being taxed at multiple stages of
production. This results in cost savings and price competitiveness.
Uniform Tax Rates: GST provides uniform tax rates across states, making inter-state trade more
straightforward. Businesses can expand into new markets without worrying about varying state tax
structures, promoting national integration.
Ease of Compliance: GST processes, such as registration, return filing, and payment, are streamlined
through online platforms. This simplifies compliance, reduces manual paperwork, and minimizes the
scope for errors.
Formalization of the Economy: The transparent nature of GST encourages businesses to operate in the
formal economy, improving access to credit, financial services, and government schemes.
For Government:
Simplified Tax Collection: GST simplifies tax collection by consolidating various taxes into a single
system. It reduces administrative complexities and makes tax collection more efficient.
Enhanced Transparency: The digital platform of GST enhances transparency in tax administration,
making it easier for the government to track transactions, identify tax evaders, and reduce tax fraud.
Higher Compliance: GST’s simplified and centralized system encourages higher compliance rates
among businesses. This leads to increased tax revenues for the government.
Efficient Resource Allocation: GST allows for more efficient allocation of resources as tax revenue is
shared between the central and state governments. This promotes better fiscal management.
Reduction in Tax Evasion: The transparency and self-policing nature of GST reduce opportunities for
tax evasion, helping the government collect the taxes it is owed.
Promotion of Economic Growth: By reducing tax barriers, GST promotes investment, creates a more
conducive business environment, and stimulates economic growth. It fosters a competitive and open
market.

1.3 The Industry and Current trends in industry of GST to Business


and Government

Trends for businesses:

Digital Transformation: The GST landscape was moving toward


increased digitization. Businesses were leveraging GST-compliant
accounting software and technologies to streamline their tax
compliance processes.

E-invoicing: Many countries were implementing or considering e-


invoicing systems to enhance transparency and reduce tax evasion.
This trend was expected to continue to gain momentum.

GST Compliance Tools: The development and adoption of GST


compliance tools, like GST return filing software, were on the rise to
simplify the often complex process of filing GST returns.

GST Rate Changes: Governments periodically reviewed and adjusted


GST rates. Staying updated on these changes and their impact on
businesses was a key concern.

GST Audits and Scrutiny: Tax authorities were becoming more data-
driven and were conducting detailed audits. Businesses were focusing
on robust record-keeping to comply with these requirements.
Trends for Government:

Digital Transformation: Governments and tax authorities were


increasingly adopting digital platforms for GST compliance and
collection. This trend aimed to make the tax system more efficient and
reduce tax evasion.

Simplification and Rationalization: Governments were working to


simplify and rationalize the GST structure by reducing the number of
tax slabs and introducing measures to make compliance easier for
businesses.

Automation and E-Invoicing: E-invoicing systems were being


introduced in many countries to improve transparency, reduce errors,
and streamline the reporting process for businesses. Automation of
GST compliance was becoming more common.

Data Analytics and AI: Tax authorities were using data analytics and
artificial intelligence to identify tax evasion, discrepancies, and
fraudulent activities more effectively.

1.4 Objectives of GST

i. To analyze the product on which GST applicable or not applicable.


ii. Goods and service tax GST Is a comprehensive tax levied on the supply of goods and services
in India. It aims to simplify the taxation system. Here is A general guideline on whether GST is
applicable or not applicable to certain products
iii. GST Applicable products:
iv. Goods: GST is applicable to most goods, including items like electronic, clothing machinery
and consumables. It covers a wide range of product.
v. Services: GST applicable to a broad spectrum of service, Such as financial services, IT services,
Professional services and more.
vi. Mixed supplies: in case where a supply involves both goods and services, GST is applicable
based on the Predominant elements. If the supply primarily or service
vii. GST Not Applicable Products:
viii. Exempted goods and services: certain goods and services are explicitly exempt from GST. To
determine which products are not applicable for gst in a specific region, you should consult the
local tax authority or refer to their official documentation.
ix. To study what is the role of GST in growth of our economy. GST replaces a complex tax
system with a unified tax structure, making it easier for businesses to understand and comply
with taxation. this reduces the compliance burden and encourages formalization of the
economy. The transparency of transaction under GST reduces the scope for black money in the
economy.
x. To understand the structure of indirect tax after GST in small businesses.
xi. After the implementation of the goods and services tax GST in India, the structure of indirect
taxes for small businesses underwent significant changes. Small businesses with an annual
turnover below the threshold limit (Which may vary by state) are exempt for GST registration.
This means they are not required to collect or pay GST on their supplies.

Limitations of GST:

• Complexity: GST systems can be complex, with multiple tax slabs and different
compliance requirements for various types of businesses. This complexity can be
challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
• Compliance Burden: Businesses need to maintain accurate records and comply with
various filing requirements. This can be burdensome, especially for smaller businesses
that may lack the resources for efficient compliance.
• Technology Requirements: The successful implementation of GST often relies on
advanced technology for e-filing, e-invoicing, and data matching. Not all businesses may
have access to or be capable of using such technology.
• Transition Challenges: Transitioning from a previous tax regime to GST can be
challenging for both businesses and tax authorities. It can involve a learning curve and
initial disruptions.
• Tax Evasion: While GST aims to reduce tax evasion, it's not foolproof. Some businesses
may still find ways to evade taxes, especially in cash-driven sectors.
• Multiple Rates: The existence of multiple tax rates can be confusing for businesses and
consumers. It can also create classification challenges, leading to disputes and litigation.

History

The roots of the pharmaceutical industry lie back with the apothecaries and pharmacies
that offered traditional remedies as far back as the middle ages, offering a hit-and-miss
range of treatments based on centuries of folk knowledge.

But the industry as we understand it today really has its origins in the second half of the
19th century. Whilst the scientific revolution of the 17th century had spread ideas of
rationalism and experimentation, and the industrial revolution had transformed the
production of goods in the late 18th century, the marrying of the two concepts for the
benefit of human health was a comparatively late development.

Merck in Germany was possibly the earliest company to move in this direction.
Originating as a pharmacy founded in Darmstadt in 1668, it was in 1827 that Heinrich
Emanuel Merck began the transition towards an industrial and scientific concern, by
manufacturing and selling alkaloids.

In cancer, the pharma industry has begun producing immunotherapies, which do not act
directly against the disease but instead enlist the immune system to fight against
malignant tissues.

The idea of immunotherapy had been around since the late 1900s, but it was companies
such as Bristol-Myers Squibb and its CTLA4 class melanoma drug Yervoy (ipilimumab)
that began the revolution.

This was followed by Merck & Co’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and a gang of rival PD-
L/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors, which have set new standards in cancer care in many
different forms of the disease.

The importance of cancer immunotherapy was underlined in 2018, when James Allison
and Tasuku Honjo were granted the Nobel Prize for their early work on CTLA4 and PD-1
checkpoint inhibitors, respectively.

With CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) drugs, pharma companies have taken the
idea one step further and have been able to genetically modify the patient’s own cells to
fight cancer.

This deep knowledge of genetics has also led to the development of the first ever gene
therapies, and there are now treatments capable of addressing the underlying causes of
certain rare diseases with a single shot.
BYKCC/SAKSHI JAIN/TYBBA(FINANCE)
16
This, along with other innovations such as antisense technology, has led to drugs for rare
diseases that were previously considered untreatable.

Meanwhile, in infectious diseases, the pharma industry has been able to produce
effective drugs that could lead to the eradication of hepatitis C in the next few years.

And in 2020 the pharma industry produced dozens of potential vaccines for the COVID-
19 pandemic in record time, as the world fights the new and deadly coronavirus
pandemic.

But there are challenges: the new generation of drugs are expensive and have pushed
the limits of health care systems’ finances as well as the boundaries of science.

With its hepatitis C drugs, Gilead faced huge amounts of controversy over the initial costs
of its therapies, although these were reduced drastically over time as more competitors
came to market.

Injection moulding uses a ram or screw-type plunger to force molten plastic or rubber material
into a mould cavity; this solidifies into a shape that has conformed to the contour of the mould.
It is most commonly used to process both thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, with the
volume used of the former being considerably higher. Thermoplastics are prevalent due to
characteristics that make them highly suitable for injection moulding, such as ease of
recycling, versatility for a wide variety of applications, and ability to soften and flow on
heating. Thermoplastics also have an element of safety over thermosets; if a thermosetting
polymer is not ejected from the injection barrel in a timely manner, chemical crosslinking may
occur causing the screw and check valves to seize and potentially damaging the injection
moulding machine.
Injection moulding consists of the high pressure injection of the raw material into a mould,
which shapes the polymer into the desired form Moulds can be of a single cavity or multiple
cavities. In multiple cavity moulds, each cavity can be identical and form the same parts or
can be unique and form multiple different geometries during a single cycle. Moulds are
generally made from tool steels, but stainless steels and aluminium moulds are suitable for
certain applications. Aluminium moulds are typically ill-suited for high volume production or
parts with narrow dimensional tolerances, as they have inferior mechanical properties and are
more prone to wear, damage, and deformation during the injection and clamping cycles;
however, aluminium moulds are cost-effective in low-volume applications, as mould
fabrication costs and time are considerably reduced.[1] Many steel moulds are designed to
process well over a million parts during their lifetime and can cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars to fabricate.

What is GST?
GST is a tax that India imposes on the supply of specific products and services. It was implemented to
replace a variety of previous indirect taxes, including the value-added tax, service tax, purchase tax,
excise duty, and others. GST is a multi-stage tax system that is comprehensive in nature and applied to
the sale of goods and services. The main aim of this taxation system is to curb the cascading effect of
other Indirect taxes, and it is applicable throughout India.

On July 1st 2017, the Goods and Services Tax implemented in India. But, the process of implementing
the new tax regime commenced a long time ago.

• In 2000, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, then Prime Minister of India, set up a committee to draft the
GST law.
• In 2004, a task force concluded that the new tax structure should put in place to enhance the tax
regime at the time.
• In 2006, Finance Minister proposed the introduction of GST from 1st April 2010 and
• In 2011 the Constitution Amendment Bill passed to enable the introduction of the GST law.
• In 2012, the Standing Committee started discussions about GST, and tabled its report on GST a
year later.
• In 2014, the new Finance Minister at the time, Arun Jaitley, reintroduced the GST bill in
Parliament and passed the bill in Lok Sabha in 2015. Yet, the implementation of the law delayed
as it was not passed in Rajya Sabha.
• GST went live in 2016, and the amended model GST law passed in both the house. The
President of India also gave assent.

Finally, In 2017 the passing of 4 supplementary GST Bills in Lok Sabha as well as the approval of the
same by the Cabinet. Rajya Sabha then passed 4 supplementary GST Bills and the new tax regime
implemented on 1st July 2017.

Types of GST

There are four different components of GST such as CGST, SGST, IGST, and UTGST.

1. CGST: Central Goods and Services Tax is charged on the intra-state supply of products and
services.
2. SGST: State Goods and Services Tax like CGST, is charged on the sale of products or services
within a state.
3. IGST: Integrated Goods and Services Tax is charged on inter-state transactions of products and
services.
4. UTGST: Union Territory Goods and Services Tax is levied on the supply of products and
services in any of the Union Territories in the country, viz. Andaman and Nicobar Islands,
Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Lakshadweep, and Chandigarh. UTGST is levied
along with CGST.

experienced higher costs related to complying with GST regulations, including expenses for tax
advisory, software, and training.

of GST. This implies that a minority of the surveyed businesses have managed to maintain or reduce
their compliance-related expenses despite the introduction of GST.
Notably, there are no respondents who chose the "Maybe" option, indicating that none of the surveyed
individuals were uncertain about the impact of GST on their compliance costs.

Executive Summary:

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has emerged as a pivotal economic reform that has transformed the
tax structure and fiscal landscape of the country. This executive summary provides an in-depth
overview of the myriad advantages of GST, focusing on its positive impact on businesses and
governments, encapsulating the key findings of our extensive project report.

GST, a comprehensive indirect tax reform, was introduced to replace the complex web of multiple
taxes, bringing about a much-needed simplification in the tax structure. One of the fundamental benefits
it offers to businesses is the simplification of tax compliance. By subsuming various indirect taxes,
GST has streamlined the process of tax collection and reporting, making it more efficient and less
cumbersome. This simplification has significantly reduced the compliance burden on businesses, both
large and small, which used to grapple with a myriad of tax laws and regulations at the central and state
levels.

The removal of tax cascading, a recurring issue in the pre-GST era, is another crucial advantage to
businesses. The GST system allows businesses to claim input tax credit on the taxes paid at the
previous stage of the supply chain. This has led to a reduction in the overall tax liability, making
products and services more affordable for consumers, while also boosting the competitiveness of
businesses. Furthermore, the GST regime promotes a unified national market, eliminating state-level
barriers to trade and ensuring a level playing field for businesses across the country. This simplification
has increased the ease of doing business, encouraging investments and growth in the market.

For the government, the implementation of GST has been nothing short of a financial game-changer. It
has brought about increased tax collection, leading to a substantial reduction in fiscal deficits. The
transparency and efficiency introduced by the new tax system have made it easier for the government to
monitor and enforce tax compliance. The digital infrastructure and technology-driven approach to tax
collection have been instrumental in enhancing compliance and reducing tax evasion, resulting in a
healthier fiscal environment.

Moreover, the broadening of the tax base has not only led to higher revenue collection but also reduced
the burden on the existing taxpayers. This has allowed the government to allocate resources more
effectively, invest in crucial infrastructure projects, improve healthcare facilities, and enhance
educational institutions, ultimately fostering economic development.

However, it is essential to acknowledge that the journey of implementing GST has not been without its
challenges. The transition phase witnessed certain complexities, including adapting to the new tax
regime, implementing compatible IT systems, and addressing the concerns of various stakeholders. The
project report explores these challenges in detail and highlights the strategies and measures that have
been employed to mitigate them.

In conclusion, the Goods and Services Tax has fundamentally reshaped the economic landscape of the
nation. Its contribution to simplifying tax compliance, reducing the tax burden on businesses, and
enhancing tax collection for the government is undeniable. Although challenges persist, GST remains a
dynamic work in progress. Continuous refinements and improvements are necessary to ensure that it
continues to benefit businesses and the government, ultimately contributing to the growth and
development of the nation. Its enduring impact underscores the transformative power of comprehensive
tax reforms and their ability to drive economic progress and prosperity.
