CURRENT TAX PLAN OF INDIAN GOVT ( NON-GST )
1. Life gets simpler
GST will replace 17 indirect tax levies and compliance costs will fall
- Evasion set to drop - Input tax credit will encourage suppliers to pay taxes - States and Centre will have dual oversight - The number of tax-exempt goods will decline
3. A common market
It's currently fragmented along state lines, pushing costs up 20-30%
4. Logistics, inventory costs will fall Checks at state borders slow movement of trucks. In India, they travel 280 km a day?? compared with 800 km in the US
5. Investment boost For many capital goods, input tax credit is not available. Full input tax credit under GST will mean a 12-14% drop in the cost of capital goods. Expected: A 6% rise in capital goods investment, 2% overall.
6. Make in India
a) Manufacturing will get more competitive as GST addresses cascading of tax, inter-state tax, high logistics costs and fragmented market b) Increased protection from imports as GST provides for appropriate countervailing duty.
7. Less developed states get a lift
