2. Draw a chart and write a note on pre - GST indirect tax structure in India.
3.What was the significance of Introduction of VAT in Indirect Taxes prior to
implementation of GST. write a short note.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a major source of revenue for all Indian states and union territories
(except Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep).It was introduced as an indirect tax in
the Indian taxation system to replace the existing gener al sales tax. The Value Added Tax Act
(2005) and associated VAT rules came into effect beginning April 1, 2005 in many Indian states.
Every state has its own VAT legislation, rates, taxable base, and list of taxable goods.
VAT: -
Every commodity passes through different stages of production and distribution before finally
reaching the consumer. Some value is added at each stage of the production and distribution
chain.
Under a VAT system, a dealer collects tax on his sales, retains the tax paid on his purch ase and
pays the balance to the government. It is a consumption tax, because it is borne ultimately by the
final consumer. The tax paid by the dealer is passed on to the buyer. It is not a charge on the
dealer.All business transactions involving the sales of goods/commodities carried on within a
state by individuals, partnerships, or companies will be covered by VAT.VAT will not cover small
businesses with sales below a certain limit. In Maharashtra, the limit is 10 lakes or below.
VAT computation: -
In order to understand VAT, one must first understand its two components: input and output
tax.A dealer pays VAT by deducting the tax paid on purchases (input tax) from his tax collected
on sales (output tax).In other words VAT = Output Tax – Input Tax.
output Tax: -
Output tax is VAT charged to the customer by a dealer making taxable sales. A dealer is an
individual, partnership, or business that is registered under VAT. When a dealer is registered,
VAT becomes chargeable on all taxable sales.
Input Tax: -
when a dealer is registered under VAT, they can normally claim a credit for VAT charges on
most business purchases. Input tax includes not only the VAT on your purchases of raw
materials or on goods purchased for resale but also VAT on capital goods, such a s machinery or
equipment.
For example: A dealer pays Rs.10.00 @ 10% on his purchase price of goods valued Rs.100.00.
He sells the goods at Rs.150.00 and collects tax amounting to Rs.15.00 (@ 10%). He will pay
Rs.5.00 (Rs.15.00- Rs.10.00) as he has already paid Rs.10.00 to his seller while purchasing
those goods.
There are various taxes that have to pay at every stage and differently collected by State and
Central Government and rates differ from one state to another , as no more additional state taxes
will be imposed. Introducing GST, will increase the efficiency of taxation, improves the economic
growth and it will bring whole nation to one national market.
What happen in present scenario? Our present taxation system is very complex and very
confusing, corruption chance is there, which leads to distrust of government, there are hidden tax
for exports, whereas no charge applicable on Importing of Goods/Services from one state to
another. Just to overcome these issues, Rajya Sabha introduced GST bill, which will bring
transparency to taxation and consumer will get to know how much tax amount they are paying to
government for sale/ purchase/ manufacturing.
Following are some of the points that can easily explain the need for GST: -
Tax structure will be simple: - At present, there are huge number of taxes that has to
pay by consumers, with GST it will single tax to pay, which is much easier to understand.
For businesses, accounting complexities will reduce and results less paperwork, which will
save both time and money. GST will increase economic GDP by 2%-2.5%.
Tax revenue will increase: - Simple tax structure will bring more tax payers and in
return it will be revenue for government .
Competitive pricing: - GST will eliminate indirect taxes and the tax amount paid by end
users (consumers) will reduce. As in Economics, lower will the prices, more will be demand
for that product, results in more consumption of goods, which will be benefited to companies.
Boost to exports: -If Indian market will be competitive in pricing, then more and more
foreign players will try to enter the market, which results in more numbers of exporters and
benefits to Indian Market. As far there is no tax rate is finalized, but yes GST is much
needed in the countries where, it lacks transparency and complex taxation system.
There is a question in everyone’s mind……” Do we have to pay tax at different rates and at
different levels? Is there no solution to this? Yes, the solution to this is implementation of
GST. GST will take away cascading effect of various taxes that are charged on sale/
production/ purchase and so. Products reaches to customers at very high rate as compared
to manufacturing, so with GST there will be only one tax and it will reduce burden to pay off.
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is the nodal national agency
responsible for administering Customs, GST, Central Excise, Service Tax & Narcotics in India.
The Customs & Central Excise department was established in the year 1855 by the then
British Governor General of India, to administer customs laws in India and collection of import
duties/land revenue. It is one of the oldest government departments of India.
Indirect Tax is levied on the person who is making the sale but he can recover the same
fro m the buyer. In some cases, the Indirect Tax portion is specifically mentioned in the
invoice whereas in other cases – the po rtion o f indirect t ax is auto matically included in the
transaction value and not disclosed separately. Some examples of these indirect taxes are
Service Tax, Excise Duty, Customs Duty, VAT, Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax etc.
In India, there are many different Indirect Taxes which are applicable. For example:
Service Tax is levied on Services, Excise Duty is levied on Manufacturing, Custo ms Duty is
levied on Impo rt of Goods etc. As there are many different types of indirect ta xes levied
on the expense incurred by a buyer, the govt now intends to merge all these forms of
indirect t axes and levy a co mmon indirect t ax by the name of GST i.e., Goods and Service
Tax.
7.what are the exclusive products not included in the GST and why .
The goods and services Tax (GST) in India was implemented on July -1 -2017 even after many
months GST roll out there is much confusion on what products comes under GST and what
Not.Here is the list of products that kept outside the purview of GST 1. Anima l Feed 2. Aquatic
Feed 3. Betel leaves.
CGST refers to the Central GST tax that is levied by the Central Government of India. It is one of
the two taxes charged on every intrastate (within one state) transaction, the other one being
SGST (or UTGST for Union Territories). CGST replaces all the existing Central taxes including
Service Tax, Central Excise Duty, CST, Customs Duty, SAD, etc. The rate of CGST is usually
equal to the SGST rate. Both taxes are charged on the base price of the product. See the
example below to understand it better.
e.g. – In the example above, when Suresh sales a product to Pradeep in the same state
(Rajasthan), he has to pay two taxes. CGST is for the central government while SGST is for the
state. The rate of CGST is 9%, same as SGST. After the application of CGST (9% of Rs 10,000),
the final cost of the product will become Rs 11,800.
SGST (State GST) is one of the two taxes levied on every intrastate (within one state)
transaction of goods and services. The other one is CGST. SGST is levied by the state where
the goods are being sold/purchased. It will replace all the existing state taxes including VAT,
State Sales Tax, Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax, Entry Tax, State Cesses and Surcharges on
any kind of transaction involving goods and services.
e.g. – Suresh from Rajasthan wants to sell some goods to Pradeep in Rajasthan. The product,
originally priced at Rs 10,000, will attract GST at 18% rate comprising of 9% CGST rate and 9%
SGST rate. The SGST tax amount here is Rs 900 (9% of Rs 10,000) which is fully claimed by the
Rajasthan State Government. The rate of the product after SGST will be Rs 10,900.
Integrated GST (IGST) is applicable on interstate (between two states) transactions of goods and
services. This tax will be collected by the Central government and will further be distributed
among the respective states.IGST is in place to ensure that a state has to deal only with the
Union government and not with every state separately to settle the interstate tax amounts.
e.g., – Ramesh is a manufacturer in Rajasthan who sold goods worth Rs 10,000 to Suresh in
Rajasthan. Since it is an interstate transaction, IGST will be applicable here. Let’s assume th e
GST rate is 18% for the particular item. So, the IGST amount charged by the Central
Government will be Rs 1800 (18% of Rs 10,000), and the refined rate of the product will be Rs
11,800.
Now, GST is a consumption tax that means only the state where the goods are actually
consumed will get the tax benefits, irrespective of the manufacturing state.
Union Territory Goods and Service Tax (UGST): -
The Union Territory Goods and Services Tax, commonly referred to as UTGST, is the GST
applicable on the goods and services supply that takes place in any of the five Union Territories
of India, including Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Chandigarh,
Lakshadweep and Daman and Diu. This UTGST will be charged in addition to the Central GST
(CGST) explained above. For any transaction of goods/services within a Union Territory: CGST +
UTGST
Delhi and Puducherry UTs already have their own legislatures, so SGST is applicable to them.
Under GST, three types of taxes can be charged in the invoice. SGST and CGST in case of an
intra-state transaction and IGST in case of an interstate transaction.There are three important
concepts:
Example:
Mr. Anil from Delhi provides interior designing services to Mr. Ajay(Mumbai). The property is
located in Ooty(Tamil Nadu).
In this case, place of supply will be the location of the immovable property i.e. Ooty, Tamil Nadu.
3. Value of supply: -
Value of supply is important because GST is calculated on the value of the sale. If the value is
calculated incorrectly, then the amount of GST charged is also incorrect.Time of supply means
the point in time when goods/services are considered supplied’. When the seller knows the ‘time’,
it helps him identify due date for payment of taxes.Value of supply means the money that a seller
would want to collect the goods and services supplied.The amount collected by the seller from
the buyer is the value of supply.

12.what is composition supply and Mixed supply. What is the rate of tax applied?
It is a natural bundle, i.e., goods or services are usually provided together in the normal
course of business.
Mixed supply under GST means a combination of two or more goods or services made
together for a single price.
Each of these items can be supplied separately and is not dependent on any other.
Under GST, a mixed supply will have the tax rate of the item which has the highest rate of tax.
For example-A Diwali gift box consisting of canned foods, sweets, chocolates, cakes, dry fruits,
aerated drink and fruit juices supplied for a single price is a mixed supply. All are also sold
separately. Since aerated drinks have the highest GST rate of 28%, aerated drinks will be treated
as principal supply and 28% will apply on the entire gift box.
Tax rate applicable Tax rate of principal item Highest tax rate of all the items

annually to register for a GST. For the North East states, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and
Uttarakhand the threshold limit is Rs.10 lakhs.
Some businesses are compulsorily required to register for GST and if such organizations operate
without registering for GST, it will be an offence and due penalties apply. The same applies to
people making taxable supplies on behalf of other taxable persons, example agents and
brokers.The following taxable groups are eligible for GST registration:
GST threshold: -
Companies with a supply turnover of over Rs. 20 lakh must register for GST. The keyword here
is “supply”, which takes into consideration any turnover, including stock-taking, discounts and
freebies. In fact, even those supplying non-taxable goods must register for GST. A business
making sales to other states must register for GST, regardless of turnover.
