Goods and GST Bill passed |

Dear All, GST Bill is passed in Rajya Sabha on 03. 08.2016. A panel under chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian has recommended a revenue-neutral rate of 15-15.5%, with a standard rate of 17-18% be levied on most goods and all services. But, there has been no agreement yet on rates of various goods and services, which remains a tricky issue. According to the Bill, passed in the Lok Sabha in May 2015, the rates were to be decided by a GST council headed by the central finance minister with state finance ministers as members. Let us wait.

With the GST, a product can move from Kashmir to Kanyakumari without fear of double taxation or having to comply with state-by-state tax laws. Producers will find it easier to maintain accounts as it’s all digital, and consumers eventually benefit from lower, uniform prices across the country.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) will replace nearly a dozen central and state levies into a single national sales tax. It will make the movement of goods cheaper and seamless across the country. It would be far simpler than the current system, where a good is taxed multiple times and at different rates.
There would be four tax slabs of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent, plus a levy on taxes on luxury items like cars, aerated drinks and tobacco products to compensate states for any revenue losses in the first five years.
The GST council is yet to decide which goods fall in which slab. The GST rates will remain broadly in line with the existing rates. To keep inflation under check, essential items including food, which presently constitute roughly half of the consumer inflation basket, will be taxed at zero rate.
