11. Positive Impact of GST
 Increase in Foreign Investment- With GST, India is now a unified market and the foreign investment
has increased in India. The implementation of Goods & Services tax puts India in the line of international
tax standards, making it easier for Indian businesses to sell in the global market.
 Fewer Tax- GST has two constituents: The central GST and the State GST. The Central GST will replace
- Service Tax, Central Excise Duty, and Custom Duty etc. The State GST will replace - State VAT, Central
Sales Tax, Tax on Advertisements, Luxury Tax, Purchase Tax, Entertainment Tax etc.
 Reduce the cost of doing business- GST has changed VAT all over India. Now we do not need to pay
different amounts of taxes in different states. It is one tax system for all states of India and so we have
already got rid of various taxes and duties on our businesses.
 Transparency- The tax administration has started working corruption free. Also enabling sales invoices
to show the tax applied has resulted in transparency.

12. Negative Impact of GST
 Dual Control - GST is being referred to as a single taxation system but in reality it is a dual tax because both
the state and centre both will collect separate tax on a single transaction of sale and service.
 Incumbent increase of the cost of some commodities - The tax rate has been increased for many products,
thus increasing their costs.
 Some sector are at a loss- Sectors like Textile, Media, Pharma, Dairy Products, IT and Telecom are bearing
the brunt of a higher tax. Also the price of commodities has increased like jewellery, mobile phones and
credit cards.
 Real Estate Market affected - Economists are of the opinion that GST in India has already had a negative
impact on the real estate market. It has added up to 8 percent to the cost of new homes and reduced demand
by about 12 percent.

13. 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.
 For GST to be effective there should be identical GST laws/procedures across states as well as the
centre.
 GST is the best example of cooperative federalism.
 Together we will take India to new heights of progress.
 In Nutshell , it is a biggest tax reform till date in our country.
