EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
GST was rolled out with effect from 1 july 2017 with the objectives of reducing tax
cascading, ushering in a common market fot goods and services and bringing in a simplified,
self – regulating and non-intrusive tax compliance regime.A person doing all over india needs
to understand the laws of Centre and the laws of different states. Taxpayer has to deal with
multiple departments which increases cost of Compliance for tax payer. Cost of collection
and administration of justice is also higher for government agencies on account of
multiplicity of agencies/tribunals and multiple laws. All these whether levid by the Centre to
the states are ultimately loaded on the product and recovered from the ultimate consumer,
Taxes levied and collected by the Centre and the States as per the Finance Commission
Report. The burden of all these taxes is passed on to ultimate consumer consuming the goods
and Services. All these complexities can be addressed by the Centre. However, on account of
Federal characteristics of India, single GST cannot be introduced as taxing powers of states
cannot be taken away completely. Therefore, India is geared up to introduce a dual GST on a
common taxing event of supply by central as well as state government. The Basic framework
of the proposed GST is as under For supplies within the state. That is intra-State supply there
shall be a CGST levied and collected by the state, The taxing event for CGST & SGST,
valuation provisions, persons liable to pay, point of collection , etc. is going to be the same.
Therefore , if there is a liability of CGST for a particular transaction, All the major decisions
regarding levy shall be taken by GST council comprising of representatives of centre and
states. The rate applicable, exemptions, threshold limit for exemption, principle of levying
special rates for any specified period or any specified area, etc. has to come from the GST
Council and thus, Whatever it recommends, that will be uniform throughout India. States are
not getting liberty to decide these issues unilaterally. The GST council will have one-third of
votes of the Central Government and two-third for states and every decision of the council
must be approved by not less than members presend and voting. At shyama sagar there is lot

As we all know that GST is a progressive concept in India after it became a new tax regime. Even though
GST plays such an important role in taxation system and influences the future economy growth of the
country, when it come to the performance and revenues generating from the GST, the growth is not up to
the mark. This is reflected by the decrease in the returns filing under GST over a period of time. The project
is about finding the reasons, problems, responses and grievances resulting in the traders, registered under
GST, to not file the returns in time. To know and find the ways and overcome this serious issue, a survey is
conducted to find the reasons for why such decrease in returns filing. The findings and observations were
identified along with necessary suggestions. This survey is conducted in a region( GST) and non-filers in
that area were asked for reasons for such non-filing of returns under GST. The data of non-filers of returns
is taken from respective GST office with the permission of the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes.
Objectives of GST:-
1. To concentrate and conform one Country- One Tax.
2. To ensure consumption based tax instead of Manufacturing
3. To ensure Uniform GST Registration, payment and Input tax Credit.
4. To eliminate the cascading effect of indirect taxes on single transaction.
5. To ensure the subsume all indirect taxes at Centre and State Level under.
6. To increase tax to GDP Ratio and Revenue surplus.
7. To reduce tax evasion and corruption.
8. To increase productivity.
9. To increase Compliance.
• As many of the respondents were depending upon the consultants, auditors and third parties,the
responses given by them may not be accurate in some of the cases
The Constitution (122 nd Amendment) Bill, 2014, seeks the Constitution of India to facilitate
the introduction of Goods and service Act. It is the Indirect Tax charged on local consumption and is borne
by end consumers. It is collected at each stage of the production and distribution chain by registered
vendors, who have to account for the tax on the value that they have added to goods and services. France is
the first country to introduce GST. Almost Countries have introduced GST in some form. While countries
such as Singapore and New Zealand tax virtually everything at a single rate, Indonesia has five positive
rates, a zero rate over 30 categories of exemptions. the authority to levy tax is derived from the
Constitution of India which allocates the power to levy various taxes between centre and state.
On July 1 , 2015, the prime minister launched the Digital India programme with the objective of
creating a participative, transparent and responsive government. And on January 16, 2016, the much -
talked-about Start-up India, Stand up India initiative , aimed at encouraging new ventures and creating
jobs, was kicked off amidst much fanfare.
Without doubt, these are some of the most- important initiatives of the government expected to transform
the corporate sector. Along with these initiatives , there is yet another game Start-up India complement
each other, GST is crucial for the success of both these initiatives
.
GST is widely seen as the most important and far-reaching indirect tax reform that will, potentially, have an
impact on almost all industries and business since it will create a common Indian marketplace and reduce
the cascading effect of taxes. It will Subsume all indirect taxes and create just one rate for the entire nation.
GST will have a profound effect on the way business is conducted in India and the way prices are
determined. The legislation will affect the pricing of goods and services, supply chain optimization,
accounting and tax compliance systems, as also the tax structure, tax incidence, tax computation, tax
payment, compliance, credit utilization and reporting. In short, the present indirect tax system, with all its
inefficiencies, will be completely overhauled.
GST will create a wider tax base, which will lower tax rates. Not only will the multiplicity of taxes be
eliminated and the tax structure rationalized, compliance procedures will also become easier. Additionally,
the automation of compliance procedures will also become easier. Additionally, the automation of
compliance procedures (which comes under the domain of the Digital India initiative) will reduce errors
and increase efficiency .
GST will enable the digital industry business initiative to take root by providing a uniform tax rate and
standard regulations across the nation. This will enhance ease of doing business, and will allow start-up,
online market places and the retail sector to flourish. These sectors are also seen as major job creators. With
GST roll-out, industries in these domains can expect huge gains, which will, in due course of time, lead to
more jobs and a higher GDP.
The roll-out of GST has already been delayed, largely due to lack of political consensus. The smooth
passage of the bill is deemed crucial for the success of mega economic and social projects, such as Digital
India and Start-up India. The government is now hoping to kick-start the initiative on April 1, 2017. That
leaves very little time for companies to upgrade their accounting systems and ERP software to comply with
the new tax regime.
Some companies have already come out with GST-ready software offerings and suites that will help
companies migrate smoothly to the new tax regime, and enable them to integrate the older financial
structure with the new one seamlessly. All stakeholders are now waiting with bated breath.
GST is defined as any tax on supply of goods and services, other than on alcohol for human
consumption. In brief, before GST came into existence tax was levied at two-tax system, one is sale value
or about invoice amount, and second one is on the value-added amount under value added taxation. Now
Goods
& Services Taxes id destination-based and input tax credit system (ITC) paid at previous stage of purchases
and it can be set off right from the manufacturer to the end users. In the supply chain of goods and Services,
value added will be taxed and ultimate burden tax to be paid by the final consumer.

1.The GST shall have two components: one levied by the centre (here in after referred to as Central GST),
and the other levied by the states (here in after referred to as state GST).
2. The Central GST and the state GST are to be paid to the accounts of the Centre and the States
separately
3. The Central GST and the State GST would be applicable to all transactions of goods and Services
made for a consideration except exempted goods and services, goods which are outside the purview of GST
4. Since the Central GST and the state GST are to treated separately; taxes paid against the Central
GST shall be allowed to be taken as input tax credit (ITC) for the Central GST and could be utilized only
against the payment of Central GST. the same principle will be applicable for the state GST.
5.The administration of Central GST to the Centre and for state GST to the States would be given.
6. To the extent feasible, uniform procedure for collection of both central GST and the State GST
would be prescribed in the respective legislation.
7. The taxpayer would need to submit periodical returns, in common format 42, introducing GST and
its impact on Indian economy, as far as possible, to both the central GST authority and to the concerned
State GST authorities.
8. Each taxpayer would be allotted a PAN-Linked taxpayer Identification Number with a total of 13/15
digits. This would bring the GST PAN-Linked system in line with the prevailing PANbased system for
Income Tax, facilitating exchange and taxpayer Compliance.
GST will eliminate the around 16 different types of taxes from regime which were levied by central and
state government before the GST Act has been implemented in which central taxes
(excise, surcharges, service tax, central sale tax etc…,) and state levied tax (VAT, Octroi , luxury tax,
entertainment tax, advertisement tax, cess and surcharge etc..,)
The GST in India is dividend into three types CGST, SGST,IGST. If the transction of goods and, if the
transaction belongs to inter-state then IGST is attracted. The consolidated rate of CGST and SGST will be
equal to the rate of IGST.
Goods and services Tax Network (GSTN) has been set up by the Government as a private company under
erstwhile Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956. GSTIN would provide three front end services to the
taxpayers namely registration, payment and return. Besides providing these services to the taxpayers ,
GSTN would be developing back-end IT modules for 27 states who have opted for the same. Infosys has
been appointed as Managed Service provider (MSP). GSTN has selected 73 IT, ITes and financial
technology companies and 1 Commissioner of Commercial Taxes ( CCT, Karnataka), to be called GST
Suvidha providers
(GSPs). GSPs would develop applications to be used by taxpayers for interacting with the GSTN . The
diagram below shows the work distribution under GST.
Central Government holds 24.5 percent stake in GSTN while the state government holds 24.5 percent. The
remaining 51 per cent are held by non-Government financial institutions , HDFC and HDFC Bank hold
20% ,ICICI Bank holds 10%, NSE Strategic Investment hlods
10% and LIC Housing Finance holds 10%. The GST Council in its 27th meeting held 04.05.2018 has
approved the change in shareholding pattern of GSTN, Considering the nature of ‘state’ function’
performed by GSTN, the GST Council felt that GSTN be converted into a fully owned Government
company. Accordingly, the Council approved acquisition of entire 51 per cent of equity held by non-
Governmental institutions in GSTN amounting to Rs.5.1 crore, equally by the centre and the state
Governments.
The design of GST systems is based on role based access. The taxpayer can access his own data through
identified applications like registration, return, view ledger etc. The tax official having jurisdiction, as per
GST law, can access the data. Data can be accessed by audit authorities as per law. No other entity can have
any access to data available with GSTN.
GST Advantages:-
7. GST brings uniformity in the taxation process and allows centralized registration.
8. GST is a transparent tax and also reduces the number of indirect taxes.
9. GST will also help to build a transparent and corruption free tax administration.
10. Benefit people as prices will come down which in turn will help companies as consumption will
increase.
GST Disadvantages:
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 (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.
This multiplicity of taxes at the State and Central levels has resulted in a complex indirect tax structure in
the country that is ridden with hidden costs for the trade and industry. In order to simplify and rationalize
indirect tax structures, Government of India attempted various tax policy reforms at different points of time.
A system of VAT on services at the central government level was introduced in 2002, levied on intra-state
trade and the CST on inter-state trade. Despite all the various changes the overall taxation system continues
to be complex and has various exemptions.
This led to the idea of “One nation one Tax” and introduction of GST in Indian financial system. This is
simply very similar to VAT which is at present applicable in most of the states and can be termed as
National level VAT on Goods and Services with only one difference that in this system not only goods but
also services are involved and the rate of tax on goods and services are generally the same.
Under GST, CGST is a tax levied on Intra state supplies Of both goods and services by the Central
Government and will be governed by the CGST Act. SGST will also be levied on the same Intra state
supply but will be governed by the state Governments.
This implies that both the central and the state government will agree on combining their levies with an
appropriate proportion for revenue sharing between them. However, it is clearly mentioned in section 8 of
the GST Act that the taxes be levied on all Intra-state supplies of goods and/or services but the rate of tax
shall not be exceeding 14%, each.
Under GST, SGST is a tax levied on Intra State supplies of both goods and services by the state
Government and will be governed by the SGST Act. As explained above. CGST will also be levied on the
same Intra State Intra State supply but will be governed by the Central Government.
Under GST, IGST is a tax levied on all Inter-State supplies of goods and/or services and will be governed
by the IGST Act. IGST will be applicable on any supply of goods and/or services in both cases of import
into India and export from India.

India is a federal country where both the Centre and the States have been assigned the Powers to levy and
collect taxes. Both the Governments have distinct responsibilities to perform, as per the Constitution, for
which they need to raise tax revenue.
In the earlier indirect tax rule, there were many indirect taxes levied by both state and centre. States mainly
collected taxes in the form of value Added Tax (VAT). Every state had a different set of rules and
regulations. Interstate sale of goods was taxed by the Centre. CST (Central State Tax) was applicable in
case of interstate sale of goods. Other than above there were many indirect taxes like entertainment tax,
octroi and local tax that was levied by state and centre. This led to a lot of overlapping of taxes levied by
both state and centre.
For example, when goods were manufactured and sold , excise duty was charged by the centre. Over and
above Excise Duty, VAT was also charged by the state. This lead to a tax on tax also known as the
cascading effect of taxes.
The following is the list of indirect taxes in the pre-GST rule:

REVIEW
1. Study on Awareness and perception of taxpayers towards goods and services tax
(GST)
Author: Mohamad Ali Roshidi Ahmad’,
Published year: 2016
This study attempts to find out what level of awareness and perception to GST taxpayers in
Malaysia. This study only consists 256 civil servants of the secondary school teachers . the result
showed that the level of awareness was moderate and the the majority of respondents give a high
negative perception to the impact of GST.
The study has revealed that there is a lack of awareness amongst the small business owners
regarding the GST and its rules. For the purpose of the paper the responses were gathered form
those who will be affected from the applicability of GST were selected.
Tax non-filing and the resulting tax evasion are a challenge to public welfare, particulary in
developing countries, scholarly knowledge on taxable citizens who do not register as taxpayers, also
known as the ‘ghosts’, is minimal.
To expand this knowledge base, this empirical paper compares rich self-employed individuals
identified as non-filers with a randomized group of tax filers with similar socio demographic
backgrounds in terms of two bases of perceived tax system legitimacy: knowledge of taxpayers.

OBJECTIVES:-
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Goods and Service Tax:
What is GST?
All the taxes mentioned earlier are proposed to be subsumed in a single tax called the goods and services
Tax (GST) which will be levied on supply of goods or services pr both at each stage of supply chain
starting from manufacture or import and till the last retail level. So basically any tax that is presently being
levied by the Central or Son the Government on the supply of goods or services is going to be converged
into GST.
GST is proposed to be a dual levy where the Central( Government will levy and collect Central
GST(CGST) and the State will levy and collect State GST(SGST) on intra-State supply of goods and
services. The Centre will also levy and Collect Integrated GST (IGST) on inter-State supply of goods or
Services. Thus GST is a Unifier that is going to integrate various taxes being levied by the Centre and the
State at present and provide a platform for forging an economic union of the country.
As GST has been one of the huge advancements in the taxation system technology has also seen various
advancements in the field of logistics benefit the traders. Advancements has taken place in every aspect like
communication, machinery, electronic ,electrical, management etc.
Time is a key factor of logistics business and it determines the efficiency in productivity of any company.
Pre-GST regime had several drawbacks with respect to the taxation systems, one of those is the time
management.

Late fees is the first consequence you will face for non filling of GSTR 3B. The late fees will increase
everyday until it hits the capping limit. The fee will automatically be added in the next months GSTR 3B.
Moreover you can’t edit it or you can’t proceed to file the return until you pay the late fees.
