Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax (or consumption tax) imposed in India on the supply of goods and services. GST is imposed at every step in the production process, but is meant to be refunded to all parties in the various stages of production other than the final consumer.
Goods and services are divided into five tax slabs for collection of tax – 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. 32% However, Petroleum products, alcoholic drinks, electricity, are not taxed under GST and instead are taxed separately by the individual state governments, as per the previous tax regime. There is a special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold. In addition a cess of 22% or other rates on top of 28% GST applies on few items like aerated drinks, luxury cars and tobacco products. Pre-GST, the statutory tax rate for most goods was about 26.5%, Post-GST, most goods are expected to be in the 18% tax range
The tax came into effect from July 1, 2017 through the implementation of One Hundred and First Amendment of the Constitution of India by the Indian government. The tax replaced existing multiple flowing taxes levied by the central and state governments.
The tax rates, rules and regulations are governed by the GST Council which consists of the finance ministers of centre and all the states. GST is meant to replace a slew of indirect taxes with a federated tax and is therefore expected to reshape the country’s 2.4 trillion dollar economy, but not without criticism. Trucks’ travel time in interstate movement dropped by 20%, because of no interstate check posts.
Before GST under VAT and Excise:
Before the GST, we have to maintain for excise, VAT, CST and service tax. Here’s a list of the few accounts that business had to maintain under the previous regime(apart from accounts like purchase, sales, stock)-
- Excise payable a/c (for manufacturers)
- CENVAT credit a/c (for manufacturers)
- Output VAT a/c
- Input VAT a/c
- Input Service tax a/c
- Output Service tax a/c
For example, a Business had to maintain the minimum basic accounts –
- Output VAT a/c
- Input VAT a/c
- CST A/c (for inter-state sales and purchases)
- Service tax a/c [He would not be able to claim any service tax input credit as he is a trader with output VAT. Service tax cannot be set off against VAT/ CST]
After Goods and Service Tax Implement:
Under GST all these taxes (excise, VAT, service tax) are merged into one account.
The Businesses has to then maintain the following accounts (apart from accounts like purchase, sales, stock) –
- Input CGST a/c
- Output CGST a/c
- Input SGST a/c
- Output SGST a/c
- Input IGST a/c
- Output IGST a/c
- Electronic Cash Ledger (to be maintained on Government GST portal to pay GST)
While the number of accounts is more apparently, once you go through the accounting you will find it is much easier for record keeping. One of the biggest advantages any Business will have is that he can set off his input tax on service with his output tax on sale.
