GST and Indirect Taxation Regime in India
March 16, 2019
GST is the single integrated indirect taxation platform for tax payers and tax authorities, which drastically reduced cost and time involved in tax payment. The online tax portal is capable for processing millions of returns, payment and registration on a time. The roll-out of e-way bill with few glitches is another key feature of the GST regimen. The e-way bill launched was 1 April, 2018. The e-way bill was first providing for Interstate movement of goods and services and then gradually introduced in states, and covering the entire country by the month of June. This system has eliminates barriers at state borders and reduced transportation cost and time on the movement of Goods.
 

Initially the few quarters of GST Implementation were a period of test and trials for industries and so the administration permitted delays in filling of income tax returns. It is most important for all small enterprises for a better understanding, transition and adopting new provisions. Now the industries are widely recognizing that the new indirect tax system is making tax payment simpler and easier. Transaction of products and services has come on track after GST and also businesses are largely satisfied with the GST registration, and input tax credit process.

GST is a part of the incumbent administrative thrust towards a unified system of indirect taxation in India. It is a complete replacement of the previously existing multiple taxes like Service Tax, Excise Duty, CST, Custom (levied by the Central government) and VAT, Entry Tax, Octroi, Luxury Tax etc. (levied by the State government). With the advent of GST regime in India, the filing of returns has become very simplified. Moreover, owing to the abolishing of multiple taxation systems, there is an ease of compliance and this has had a very positive effect on the ease of doing business and carrying out financial activities.

Needless to say that when viewed from the perspective of GDP growth and levels of revenue generation, GST has had a very profound impact and this trend is expected to continue. This has also had a detrimental effect on the illegal hoarding of assets and tax evasion. The process has become quite simple and therefore, the whole taxation regime has not only become more accountable but also very streamlined and transparent.

There is no doubt that success of GST has surpassed all expectations to emerge as a potent instrument for boosting competitiveness of industry and business and raising economic growth rates. Indias indirect tax system has been reformed and most transformative, thus bringing huge benefits to consumers and industry and government.
