BENEFIT OF GST

Make in India:

  1. Will help to create a unified common national market for India, giving a boost to Foreign investment and “Make in India” campaign;
  2. Will prevent cascading of taxes as Input Tax Credit will be available across goods and services at every stage of supply; 
  3. Harmonization of laws, procedures and rates of tax;

  6. More efficient neutralization of taxes especially for exports thereby making our products more competitive in the international market and give boost to Indian Exports; 
  7. Improve the overall investment climate in the country which will naturally benefit the development in the states; 
  8. Uniform SGST and IGST rates will reduce the incentive for evasion by eliminating rate arbitrage between neighboring States and that between intra and inter-State sales; 
  9. Average tax burden on companies is likely to come down which is expected to reduce prices and lower prices mean more consumption, which in turn means more production thereby helping in the growth of the industries . This will create India as a “Manufacturing hub”. 
Ease of Doing Business: 

  1. Simpler tax regime with fewer exemptions; 
  2. Reductions in the multiplicity of taxes that are at present governing our indirect tax system leading to simplification and uniformity;
  3. Reduction in compliance costs - No multiple record keeping for a variety of taxes- so lesser investment of resources and manpower in maintaining records; 
  4. Simplified and automated procedures for various processes such as registration, returns, refunds, tax payments, etc; 
  5. All interaction to be through the common GSTN portal- so less public interface between the taxpayer and the tax administration;
  6. Will improve environment of compliance as all returns to be filed online, input credits to be verified online, encouraging more paper trail of transactions; 
  7. Common procedures for registration of taxpayers, refund of taxes, uniform formats of tax return, common tax base, common system of classification of goods and services will lend greater certainty to taxation system;
  8. Timelines to be provided for important activities like obtaining registration, refunds, etc; 
  9. Electronic matching of input tax credits all-across India thus making the process more transparent and accountable.
Benefit to Consumers: 
  1. Final price of goods is expected to be lower due to seamless flow of input tax credit between the manufacturer, retailer and service supplier; 
  2. It is expected that a relatively large segment of small retailers will be either exempted from tax or will suffer very low tax rates under a compounding scheme- purchases from such entities will cost less for the consumers; 
  3. Average tax burden on companies is likely to come down which is expected to reduce prices and lower prices mean more consumption.
