Abstract

India is moving towards introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST).The replacement of the Central excise duty of the government of India by Central Value Added Tax (CENVAT) and sales tax system of the State governments by the VAT marked a major mile stone in the reform process of indirect taxes in India. The GST was expected to include a variety of taxes and simplify the indirect tax regime. To remove cascading effect of taxes and provide a common nation-wide market for goods and services, India is moving towards introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST). Under the proposed indirect tax reform both Central and State Governments will have concurrent taxation power to charge tax on supply of goods and services. It is expected that the proposed regime will improve tax collection and minimize leakage, as both Central and State Tax Administrations will monitor and assess same set of taxpayers. After implementation of GST in India, there will be uniformity of taxation throughout the Country.
