This presentation is on GST (Goods and Services Tax), it is about the new taxation system implemented in India. I have tried to keep all information about GST India.
2. It is a tax on Goods & Services with
comprehensive & continuous Chain of Set off
benefit from producers to retailer point.
In other words, GST is an Indirect tax which is
levy on manufacture, sale & consumption of all
goods & services.
It substitute mostly all the indirect taxes like
excise, VAT, Service Tax, Entertainment Tax,
Luxury Tax, CVD as well as SAD.
It is based on the VAT principles .
It was implemented 1st April 2017.
It is expected to be levied only at a destination
level/Real Consumption Place not at a various
points.
Taxation power lies with both in the hands of CG
as well as SG also.
There is no distinction between goods & services.
After Introduction of GST, all the traders including
manufacturer are paying both the type of taxes
(CGST & SGST).
Introduction / Concept of GST
3. GST leads to immense scope, Opportunities as well as some challenges
also.
Centre is empowered to levy GST on Goods & Services upon the
Production stage, while State have the power to tax on sale of goods.
India implemented dual GST.
GST law emphasize on voluntary compliance .
It is a comprehensive levy and envisages tax collection on both goods and
services at the same rate.
It subsumes a large no. of central & state taxes into a single tax.
GST also mitigate the cascading effect of taxes.
In the mean time, it also helps in terms of uniformity like in case of
chargeability, definition of taxable services or person, measure of levy,
basis of classification etc.
4. Problems of Sales Tax Cascading effect(Tax on tax)
Selling without bill- no tax liability
“Inspector Raj”- of officials
Not technology enables make revenue lickage.
Problems of Sales Tax
5. Why India needed GST
Purpose-GST was introduced majorly due to two reasons:
1. The old indirect tax structure was full of uncertainties due to
multiple taxes and multiple rates.
2. Due to multiple rates, there were multiple forms and intern
compliances. This improve Tax compliances.
Because of above transparency, Taxation increase and lead to
reduced tax evasion.
It also reduce cascading effect(tax on tax) up to much extent.
GST = CGST + SGST
GST rates are like 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%

Northeaster and hill states ( Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur,
Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura ) with an annual turnover of Rs.10 lakhs.
For all other entities in rest of India would be required to obtain GST registration,
if annual turnover exceeds Rs.20 lakhs. (section 2 (6) of the MGL – Taxable &
Non Taxable)

separately for each of the States where he has a business operation. Structure of

13. Some Areas of GST
As far as registration decision is concerned, a supplier of Goods & services are made
when GST is payable.
Then the supplier have to necessarily register & he have no other option.
The Place of supply determine first as to whether the transaction is in India or
Outside India. If it is outside India it would not be liable to GST.
The POT in GST is the Point of supply of Goods. In case of service , then it is
somehow based on the POT rules of Service tax.
Under the GST structure , the tax are collected by the states where the goods or
services are consumed .
Hence there are heavy losses for the producer states & so the center required to
compensate them for their revenue losses.
Petroleum products, Alcohols/Liquor , Stamp/Custom duty, Consm. & Sale of
Electricity etc. are not covered under the GST purview.
14. If a company is having four branches in four different states, then all the four
branches will be considered as Taxable Person.
Importer have to register under both CGST & SGST as well.
Apart from Export rate, similar benefit may be given to Special Economy
Zone.
GST paid by exporter on the procurement of Goods & services will be
refunded later on if paid.
Each taxpayer are allotted a PAN linked taxpayer identification number with a
total of 13/15 digits.
This brings the GST PAN-linked system in line with the prevailing PAN-based
system for Income tax facilitating data exchange and taxpayer compliance.
The taxpayer need to submit periodical returns to both the central & state GST
authority.
Common standardized return for all taxes (with different account heads for
CGST, SGST, IGST) are come into picture.
Common standardized Challan for all taxes (with different account heads for
CGST, SGST,IGST) are come into picture.
ITC credit are also be verified on the basis of the returns filed and revenues
reconciled against Challan data from banks.

Benefits of GST
16. Registration:-
As per Model Law, banks having branches in multiple States and Union
Territories (UTs) are now requires to register in each such State and UT.
Effect of GST on Banking Sector
Difficulties to Banking Industry:-
All the bank need to register for their all office location.
They have to maintain separate books of account to have a control
for all input tax credit and utilized and unutilized credit.
Due to registration of all location Many banks and financial
institutions may be in for a lot of trouble as they could just see the
complexity in paying taxes increase under the GST.
Complying with the requirements of reverse charge and partial
reverse charge mechanism would add to further compliance costs.
• Moderate increase in the cost of financial services like loan
processing fees, debit/credit charges, insurance premium etc.
17. Bank will be able to set off their GST liabilities against credit received on
purchase of goods.
Under the existing CENVAT mechanism, banks are eligible to take partial
credit of excise duty and service tax paid on procurement of qualifying goods
and services which are used for provision of output service.
Banks did not get input tax credit of State VAT paid on any goods procured
by them. As all these indirect taxes are subsumed in GST, banks are now
able to take credit of GST paid on procurement of goods as well.
Input tax credit were not allowed as per CENVAT rules. But under GST
regime input tax credit are allowed which can be used by a bank for making
outward supply in the course of business.
GST will help to reduce tax evasion. Under GST doing business will be easy.
The increase in business will lead to additional demand of funds. Addition
demand of funds will lead to increase in a number of transactions in the bank
as the business and current scenarios ask to go for digital transaction.
Benefits to Banking industry:-
19. GST is a dynamic & comprehensive legislation which replaced most of the
Indirect Taxes of our Country.
Since it is a major indirect tax reform in India, there are new legislation and
procedures.
For GST to be effective there are identical GST laws /procedures across
states as well as the centre.
On June 14,2016, the CG had put the Draft Model GST law on Public
domain.
Conclusion
