A GST classically entails unification of all levies on

mean merging the following:
• Tax on manufacture of goods (excise duty
levied by the Centre).
• Tax on sale of goods (CST / VAT levied by
both Centre and states).
• Tax on services (levied by Centre and to
some extent by states such as Entertainment
tax, electricity cess, etc).

10. CGST (CENTRAL GST)
Replace central Excise Duty & service Tax.
 Cover Sale transaction.
SGST (STATE GST)
Replace State Vat, Entry Tax, Entertainment Tax, & Luxury Tax.
Cover taxing of Services
IGST (INTER STATE-GST)
•Levied on all inter – state supplies of goods or
services which are sold or transferred.
•Applicable to imports of goods or services.

11. RATES UNDER GST
No GST on necessities.
 5% GST on agricultural, medicines and daily
needs products.
12% GST on utility items like salt, biscuits,
computer parts etc.
18% GST on manufacturing and services like air
travelling, hotel stay, cars etc.
28% GST on luxury items like expensive cars,
expensive perfumes, stay at 5 star hotels etc.

12. GST-KNOW TAXES PAID BY YOU
We all will pay GST on every product or service we buy.
Since all indirect taxes levied by the States and the
Centre will be merged into one GST, we would exactly
know how much tax we pay which at present is difficult to
understand.
No distinction would be made between imported or Indian
goods and they would be taxed at the same rate.
The sellers or service providers collect the tax from their
customer.
Before depositing the same to the exchequer, they deduct
the tax they have already paid.
The success of GST would rest upon efficiency, equity
and simplicity.

neither viable nor desirable
• Value added in manufacture and sale of
goods require inputs of both — goods and
services and vice versa, which is often not
separable.

17. CONCLUSION
GST being a dynamic & comprehensive legislation which
shall replace most of the Indirect Taxes of our Country.
Since it is a major indirect tax reform in India, there would
be new legislation and procedures.
Most concerns expressed about the implementation of GST
can be divided into 3 categories :
•Design Issues
•Operational Issues
• Infrastructure Issues
For GST to be effective there should be identical GST
laws/procedures across states as well as the centre.
In the mean time ,those state who are not opposing against
the implementation of GST may want assurances that their
existing revenues will be protected.
