GST scheduled for July 1 rollout: Jaitley

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 8-5-2017 – Tokyo, May 8 (PTI) The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is on schedule for implementation from July 1 and will not lead to any significant increase in prices of goods although cost of some services may see a marginal hike, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today. Hailed as the biggest tax reform since India's independence, GST will replace an array of central and state levies with a national sales tax, thereby creating a single market and making it easier to do business in the country. Addressing CII-Kotak investors' round table here, Jaitley said that the GST Council, headed by him and comprising representatives of all states, will in the next few days finalise the rates of tax for di

ferent commodities and services in the decided tax brackets. Demerit and luxury goods will attract the peak tax rate plus a cess. Tax rate closed to the existing incidence of total central and state levies will be chosen as the slab for a good or services. As far as goods is concerned, the tax is not likely to increase at all. If at all, it may marginally come down because of the cascading impact not being there and therefore, it is not likely to be inflationary. As far as services is concerned, obviously, they will go up marginally and therefore, there will be some impact on this. So, goods and services may react a little differently, Jaitley said. Asked if GST would stoke inflation, he said: I don't anticipate this to happen significa

be introduced in the country which itself would ease the very processes of doing business, he said. At the investors' meet, he said there would be no cascading impact of tax on tax under GST. GST being a more efficient tax, evasion will become difficult. In the current system, there is large evasion, he said. Jaitley said the constitutional amendment gives time till September 15 for introduction of GST but the target date has been kept at July 1. So, we have a cushion of two-and-a-half months but it looks like we will be able to begin on schedule, he said. Also, a simple IT network has been put in place and there is no multiple forms for filing tax returns, he said. GST would be a transformational system, he said, adding there could be

GST will make domestic companies more competitive

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 8-5-2017 – Vadodara, May 7 (PTI) Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia is hopeful of a smooth transition to the GST regime and says it will help domestic firms to become more competitive apart from streamlining the taxation for all business activities. Unlike in other countries, the transition to the new tax regime would be smooth here because there are multiple points of taxation in the country. Hence, the possibility of sudden spurt in inflation is remote, said Adhia, who is spearheading the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax. He was speaking at a conference on GST organised by the Federation of Gujarat Industries and the chief commissioner, Central Excise, Customs & Service Tax, Vadodara zo

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Pradeep Jain – Dated:- 8-5-2017 Last Replied Date:- 9-5-2017 – GST DAILY DOSE OF UPDATION Changes in definition of inputs, capital goods and input services As evident from revised draft, the definitions of the input goods, capital goods and input services have undergone a major change or let s say, it has been simplified to the maximum extent possible. In the current laws, there are definitions containing specifications and restrictions to items and services on which cenvat can be taken or not. But in the new regime, these restrictions have been minimised. For eg. the definition of input is given in sec 2(52) as any goods other than capital goods used or intended to be used by a supplier in the course o

Similarly it has been stated that goods or services received by a taxable person for construction of an immovable property on his own account, other than plant and machinery, even when used in course or furtherance of business won t be eligible for availing cenvat. But if the building is being capitalized then the inputs used in the building will be treated as capital goods and its cenvat should be allowed. – Reply By Sanketh Meri – The Reply = Dear Sir,In your Last Para, it has been mentioned that if the Immovable Property is capitalized, then its inputs should be allowed for ITC.
