Suggestions for Indian States To Get Through GST Law Easily

gstThe passage of the long-pending in both houses is no less than a milestone for a country like India. The govt expects that the GST law will bring the economy on track and the new tax reform will assure hassle free taxation system. The 122nd constitution amendment bill received President Pranab Mukherjee’s nod on Sept. 8 this month. Following this, the govt is striving to conquer the deadline of April 1, 2017. Recently, the GST council was formed over the decision taken by the union cabinet headed by Prime minister Narendra Modi.

The main role that the GST council will play in deciding several GST rates for the corporates and sectors in the country. It will also decide the excise and service tax, sales tax, entry tax under the union government. The GST council meeting will be held on Sept. 22-23 as per the official reports.

The GST Bill (extensive consultations are into a process to refine the existing draft) will be introduced in the winter session of Parliament commencing in November 2016. The union government has aimed that during the first five years of implementation of the GST, any downfall in sales tax revenue will be compensated. The adjustment to GST and the rate structure will be decided by the council taking all the states collectively.

Now, we will discuss the factors that will help the states to effectively implement the GST law. The five effective guidelines from the policymakers is as follows:

Forming GST Task-force

The GST taskforce will be headed by the representatives from expertise such as chartered accountants, industry bodies, an information technology specialist, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) representatives and some economists.

The main work of the GST Task-force would be:

  • Collecting details about the registry of all GST taxpayers, ensuring that they are filing their tax returns. The GST revenue collected will be set as the base of the revenue.
  • Studying the compliance costs of GST, particularly the SMEs. This sector requires a proper attention for the profitability and competitiveness.
  • Keeping the track record of the GST input tax credit and refund processes.

A positive approach towards the implementation of GST

  • It is the duty of the states that they take the GST in a positive manner and play their best part in the implementation. The States should come forward for preparing the GST literature in the regional language so that it becomes easy for the common people of the region to understand the laws and regulations. The uniformity of GST is essential for the smooth functioning of sales tax in the common internal markets.
  • State government should take important measures to ensure the basic goods and services in the state, especially the medicines and food items. The state should also actively participate in the GST council and put their recommendations in front of the council representatives.
  • Also, using the GSTN (The Goods and Services Network) and the expertise in order to establish a common online portal for the GST taxpayers. It can eventually help the policy-relevant avenues for analytics and data mining. States may also obtain valuable services from the GSTN in order to learn the GST revenue potential.

  1. I suggest the GST Council make it mandatory. For issuing sale bills to registered dealers, the seller has to prepare the bill through online only by logging into his GST portal or uploading the offline tool like any e waybill preparation. So that the purchaser will get immediate credit and is not required to file GSTR 1.

  2. sir, first starting class and course for all tax (GST and income tax) system under higher secondary and college. Then starting self-submitted tax for all people campaigning. GST rate must be saree and cloth 2%, then maximum goods saree under fresh billing. So government collection must be better without GST billing. GST billing far difference between 5 and other tax rates.

  3. आदरणीय नमस्कार,
    जैसा की मालुम हूवा है की यदि कोई व्यवसायी ७५ लाख टर्नओवर सीमा में है तो वह कम्पोजिसन डीलर के अन्तरगत आवेदन कर सकता है! किन्तु वह देश के अन्य राज्यों से सामग्री खरीद नहीं सकता! ऐसा क्यों ? यदि उसे भी अन्य डीलर की तरह अन्य राज्यों से खरीद की अनुमति दे दी जाए तो जीएसटी कर कानून में क्या नुकशान हो जाएगा ! यदि कोई कर का नुकशान नहीं होता है तो फिर उसे भी अन्य राज्यों के व्यवसाईयों से माल की खरीद करने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिये जिससे कुछ थोक व्यवसाईयों की मनमानी पर रोक भी लगेगी!

  4. If govt. provide us online software to generate online billing facility (cash memo / invoice) with gst number holder a/c. it may easy for taxation.

  5. GST SOLUTION
    1) Direct payment of C GST
    2) Direct payment of State GST
    3) Direct payment of octroi / entry tax to districts
    4) No road permit or any form required.
    5) No more hassle of passing on excise duty credit from party to party
    6) No more “C” forms
    7) Free movements of goods all over india.
    8) No more waiting or octroi payments
    9) Easy e-payments & return of central GST & State GST
    10) “E” GST returns to be monitor by Govt. People very strictly

    It has been discussed in parliament that why there should be different taxation for same products in different states where by smuggling of products within states was going on for years together. This creates revenue loss where tax in more.

    GST was introduce or discussed in parliament 8-10 years back by then Prime Minister Manmohan singh and was criticized by opposition party BJP they were trying to pinpoint loopholes or bad points but not solutions. Now BJP is in power and the same bill is being discussed without any solution. Problem still persists and the burocrate are making this GST more complicated. All the states of india were crying for their revenue loss which they were getting by way of CST. Even today there is no solution to this problem which is creating unrest in state governments.

    Few years’ back postal authority has introduce pin code system as per their wish and convenience which I believe to be changed and should be made as per state and not as per zone.

    Postal pin code change to state code
    Zone 1 01 Delhi
    2 02 Maharashtra
    3 03 Gujarat
    4 04 so any

    Present pin code is of six digit needs to be rearranged as shown below
         
    For state For Districts

    You can accommodate as many as 99 states and 99 districts 999 words

    01– Delhi, 02–Maharashtra, ————, 30—Assam, 31—Orissa.

    Now who so ever it may be manufacturer or trader he should invoice party with proper new pincode.

    Example – S. K. Enteprises.
    L.T. Road,
    Shop No. ?????
    Indore – 30 00 100

    First two digits stands for that state, middle two digits stands for district. And last three digit for words or local area.

    Govt. had already categorized goods for GST such as agri food no tax

    1} XYZ item 5 %
    2} ABC item 10%
    3} EFG item 15%

    For Example

    While invoicing party should charges GST as per Govt. notification once the invoice is made.

    80 % will be credited to Central Govt.
    15 % will be credited to State Govt.
    5 % will be credited to Dist. authority.

    This will give direct fund to local authority to make developments in that state or district.

    Consigner________
    Cosignee_________with pin code 14 00 091

    Product Rate Qty Value GST% GST Invoice Total
    A 50 100 5000 5% 250
    B 105 25 2625 12% 315
    C 240 10 2400 20% 480
    _____ _____ _____
    GST payable 10025.00 1045.00 11070.00

    80 % Central Govt. 836.00
    15 % State Govt. 156.75
    5 % Dist.(octroi) 52.25
    ———————————
    Invoice total 11070.00

    Any party who is making invoice should file their return within 1st week of next month that is Jan Sale should be file before 7th of Feb we must prepare programs (computer) where this segregation will be done automatically. When saler makes on line payment immediately that state & district will get their credit in their account.

    Sales whether he is a manufacturer or Trader will take full credit of central GST tax from where he has purchased his input. While preparing invoice he will tax his customer on his selling price which is naturally more than his purchase price (as in happening in VAT)

    If we adopt this system all states will get revenue and most important is all the districts will get revenue in place of octroi or entry tax. This will eliminate corruption at octroi / entry tax points. This will also make transporters happy because they will save time at octori point and also save fuel, this will give free flow of goods.

    Central Govt. & postal department in association with state govt. can decide

    pin code – first two digit for state
    pin code – second two digits for district or Taluka
    pin code – last three digits for words

    all cash transactions at octroi / entry tax point will be eliminated. At present sale tax or excise returns are filed with sale figure and tax there on with this procedure seller can make one invoice with different commodities with different GST.

    POSTAL PINCODE SHOULD BE OF SEVEN DIGIT.

    Stage I – First two digits of pin code
    Code no for state of india. Can accommodate as many as 99 states

    01 – Delhi
    02 – Punjab
    03 – Harayana
    04 – Rajasthan
    05 – Himachal Pradesh

    Every state mush have Nationalized bank account for collection of GST linked with above first two digits of pin code like income tax / sales tax / C. excise this GST will be credited to this account when payments are made online.

    Stage II -Middle two digits of pin code

    Code no for Dist. or Taluka for every state eligible for octroi / entry tax can accommodate as many as 99 districts.

    Maharashtra – 14

    01 – Mumbai
    02 – Thane
    03 – Pune
    04 – Chichwad
    05 – Kolhapur

    Example – address of Mumbai will have pincode – 14 01 091

    Stage III Last 3 digit of pin code no are for local area of the district or ward. This can accommodate as many as 999

    Say Mumbai will have pin code 14 01 091

    14 is state Maharashtra
    01 is for Mumbai
    091 is for local ward

    State GST and District octroi/entry tax credit is not allowed only central GST credit can be taken Payment may be made within 1st week of next month for earlier month sale. Second return for state GST & District (octroi/entry tax) GST also should be made with in 1st week of next month.

    Summery of GST Credit amount ————————-

    Summery of GST Payable amount————————

    Balance payable / balance credit

    Old excise credit may be taken as opening balance in Central GST.

    Old VAT credit may be taken as opening balance in State GST. (Only for that state and not for other state)

    Say party who is selling material is in Maharashtra & has got vat credit balance can take credit for Maharashtra state sale GST and not for other state once this credit is used further credit is not allowed but has to charges customer on every invoice made.

  6. E- Filing of Books of accounts with GST return should be necessary. E- Filing of audited books of accounts with G S T audit report is also very necessary. all kinds of payment of GST/ TAX should be only account payee / demand draft / cheque in the favour of related circle. Empanelment of chartered accountants firm/ C.A. for the audit of books of accounts by the state government is also very necessary.
