The document summarizes the impact of GST on the textile industry in India. Some key points: - Under GST, taxes like excise duty, VAT, CST etc. will be subsumed and replaced by CGST, SGST and IGST which will remove cascading of taxes and improve input tax credit flow. - Overall tax incidence on textiles is expected to increase slightly due to higher GST rates compared to previous taxes. This may impact product mix in the industry. - Compliance burden is also expected to increase initially due to transition challenges but compliance overall will improve in the long run. - Inter-state trade barriers will be removed, improving competition and organized

27. Issues in Pre-GST era
 Break in input tax credit chain – leading to cascading effect
 Cost of compliance
 Job work under Central Excise
 Person who gets goods produced on job work is liable to pay CED
 Branded goods
 Branding amounts to manufacture & would attracts CED
 Job work – different treatment under central excise & under state VAT
 Under Central Excise, job work is akin to manufacturer.
 Job work can claim CENVAT Credit
 Under State VAT, job worker is not treated as manufacturer.
 ITC is claimed on raw material by owners of rate material & not by job worker.
 Thus, difference in base of taxation.
CA Rajat Talati Mumbai 27

28. Impact on Textile Industry
 Incidence of tax on garment & …… even after considering the full ITC would be
more
 Could be shift in blended fabric towards more use of manmade fiber.
 Higher incidence of tax on cotton based yarn.
 No fiscal barrier in interstate trade
 Incidence of tax on capital goods will reduce as full ITC available
 Since, other than Basic Customs Duty every other taxes is available as ITC [IGST, SGST &
CGST]
 Improved compliance
 Better control on allowance of ITC
 Higher Revenue to the Govt
 Competitive market for organized sector.
CA Rajat Talati Mumbai 28

29. Impact on Textile Industry ….contd
 Higher compliance cost / administrative cost
 Higher working capital need in certain cases
 Transition issues
 Allowance of ITC on stock/semi & finished stock
 In entire value chain
 Re-working of MRP of goods
 Re-working of percentage margin in distributive chain
 Re-visit distribution model
 Re-visit supply chain model
