Goods and Service Tax (GST)

• The Goods and Service Tax (GST) is a Value Added Tax (VAT) to be implemented in India, from April 2017.

• GST is comprehensive tax mechanism where in all major indirect

taxes are clubbed into one, whether they are levied on services(service tax) or goods(excise and vat).

• Government had promised that GST will reduce the compliance burdens at present.

• One of the aims of introducing GST is to reduce the cascading effects of taxes which is the primary focus of VAT but vat system is not comprehensive enough to do so.

GST Global

• France was the first country to introduce GST system in 1954.

• Typically it is a single rate system but two/three rate systems are also prevalent.

• Canada and Brazil alone have a dual VAT.

• Standard GST rate in most countries ranges between 15-20%.
