GST comes into force after 17 years of debate

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 1-7-2017 – New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI) The Goods and Services Tax (GST) – India's biggest tax reform since independence – tonight came into force after 17 tumultuous years of debate, unifying more than a dozen central and state levies but doubts remained if the transition to a national sales tax will be without any glitch. The new tax regime was ushered in at a late night event in the historic Central Hall of Parliament, reminiscent of the midnight 'tryst with destiny' in 1947. Prime Minister Narendra Modi termed the new levy as good and simple tax that marks economic integration of India. There are 500 types of taxes that play their roles. Today we are getting rid of them, Modi said. From Ganganagar to Itanagar and Leh to Lakshadweep, it is one nation, one tax. The day marks a decisive turning point in determining the future course of the country, he said, adding GST would ensure one nation, one tax. The GST, he said, is simple and trans

ded by Vice-President Hamid Ansari, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda. Mukherjee and Modi pressed a button in a specially crafted box at the stroke of midnight to launch the new tax regime which overnight replaced the messy mix of more than a dozen state and central levies built up over seven decades. The one national GST unifies the country's USD 2 trillion economy and 1.3 billion people into a common market, an exercise that took 17 tumultuous years. Modi said GST will eliminate the compounding effect of the current multi-layered tax system as well as the cross- state tax heterogeneity by fixing the final tax rate. It will reduce cost and save money, he said. While the measure is billed as making doing business easier by simplifying the tax structure and ensuring greater compliance, businesses particularly small traders have been a bit nervous about the new tax filing system.

down barriers between 31 states and union territories. It is estimated to add 0.4 per cent to 2 per cent to GDP growth. But some businesses are still figuring out how it will work as they race against time to adopt or upgrade cash registers and computer systems so they are able to file monthly tax returns to comply with the new tax regime. Hours before the midnight launch, the GST Council – the highest decision making body that formulated the rules and tax rates, met for the 18th time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the council members briefly. For some businesses, the GST is complex with four broad tax categories of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent, and myriad exceptions, as opposed to a simpler, flatter and broader sales taxes in other countries. Switchover to the GST has added to the worries of businesses that are still recovering from the November 8 shock decision to remove 86 per cent of currency from circulation.
