TRANSCRIPT
GOODS AND SERVICE TAX
GST
Introduction
Current indirect taxation laws administered by the Centre and the States exist in their own spheres whereby input tax credit on taxes levied by the Centre on supply of services and on manufacture of goods is not available for offset against tax payable on retail stage of goods
The embedded taxes levied by the Centre and the States are not available as input tax credit for offset against tax liability under the luxury tax, entertainment tax, cesses and surcharges
Introduction (cont…)
The Central Sales Tax levied on import of goods for consumption in the state, is not available as input tax credit against the Value Added Tax payable.
In addition state taxes like Luxury Tax, Entertainment Tax, etc. are standalone Taxes and are not available for setoff against value added tax payable within the State.
The above anomalies result in cascading effect of tax on tax thereby increasing the final value of the goods and services payable by the consumer.
Introduction (cont…)
The introduction of GST would be a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India. By amalgamating a large number of Central and State taxes into a single tax, it would mitigate cascading or double taxation in a major way and pave the way for a common national market.
The following illustration will bring the final price difference to the consumer due cascading effect of tax on tax

• IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) – Will be collected by the central government on the interstate transaction of goods and services. The collected IGST revenue will be distributed between the states as per the provisions of the IGST Act. The total tax rate under the IGST will be the sum total of CGST + SGST or CGST+UTGST.
Administration of GST
• The GST will be administered jointly by the Central and the State Governments.
• To ensure single interface for tax payers, 90% of the tax
payers with turnover below Rs1.5 Crore p.a will be administered by the State Governments and for tax payers above Rs1.5 Crore p.a the administration will be administered by the Centre and state on a 50:50 basis.

Implementation of GST may initially result in loss of revenue to the states. To assure the states that their revenue interests will be protected, the assurance was made part of the constitution amendment.
Accordingly the parliament passed the GST (Compensation to states) Act, 2017.
Compensation Mechanism for States
For the purpose of calculating the compensation amount payable in any financial year during the transition period, the financial year ending 31st March 2016 will be taken as the base year.
The projected nominal growth rate of revenue subsumed for a State during the transition period shall be 14% per annum for five years.
Compensation to be provided through Cess
Cess only on few specified luxury and demerit goods
Compensation for Meghalaya
Meghalaya collected approximately Rs640/- Crores from the subsumed taxation Acts plus Rs107/- Crores tax incentives extended to eligible industrial units in the base year 2015-16.
Thus @14% compounded growth, for the year 2017-18, the Central Govt will compensate if the revenue collection falls short of Rs970.80 Crores and for 2018-19 Rs1106.71 Crores and so on till the year 2021-2022 and the first quarter of 2022-23.
