GST is a value added tax, levied at all points in the
supply chain with credit allowed for any tax paid
on inputs acquired for use in making the supply.
It would apply to both goods and services in a
comprehensive manner with exemptions
restricted to a minimum. The introduction of GST
would be a significant step in the reform of
indirect taxation in India.

A new model is developed under proposed GST to
monitor the interstate trade of Goods & Services, and this
is called IGST. A point to be noted is that it will not
replace the existing CST.
IGST is not in addition to CGST & SGST, but is only for
monitoring interstate transactions.

AGRA
Dealer of the selling state will collect IGST from the
purchaser on interstate transaction & the rate of
IGST will be the combined rate of SGST & CGST. Say
if the rate of SGST is 12% & CGST is 14%, then the
rate of IGST will be 26%.

In addition to the IGST, in respect of supply of goods, an additional tax of up to 1% has been
proposed to be levied by the Centre. The revenue from this tax is to be assigned to the origin
states. This tax is proposed to be levied for initial 2 years or such longer period as
recommended by the GST Council.

It has been projected that more number of
people would come under the purview of GST,
as compared to the present system.

The present threshold prescribed in different State
VAT Acts, below which VAT is not applicable varies
from State to State. Thus numerous returns have
to be filed, which makes the task really
complicated.

A uniform GST threshold across
States is desirable, which would
minimise the difficulty level.
Different VAT returns will not be
required to be filed.

To the extent feasible, uniform procedure for collection of both CGST & SGST would be
prescribed in the respective legislation for CGST & SGST.

GST Will Be A Game Changing
Reform For Indian Economy By-
• Developing A Common Indian
Market.
• Reducing The Cascading Effect
Of Tax On The Cost Of Goods
And Services.

 According to
World Bank & IMF,
GST Will Be
Instrumental In
Helping The GDP Of
India To Grow By .
