Sectoral impact of GSTIndustries Impact on Sector Current Applied Indirect Tax Recommended GST rate Stocks to Benefit

At present, small cars (< 4 metres & engineWe believe GST would have a positive impact on Auto sector as the benefit of lower At present, small cars (< 4 metres & engine size of <1200 cc for petrol & <1500 cc for diesel) are taxed at ~30% (which comprises 12.5% excise duty + CST 2% + National Calamity contingent duty 1% + VAT in the range of 12.5%-14.5% + road tax in the range of 3%-20%). The Sedans & SUVs are taxed ~45% & ~52% respectively.

We believe GST would have a positive impact on Auto sector as the benefit of lower taxation (GST < 20%) would be passed on the consumers by way of lowering the vehicular price by 10%-20%.

GST < 20%M&M, Tata Motors,

Ashok Leyland, Maruti Suzuki

There would be level playing field, as it would not restrict OEM's from procuring quality & good material from vendor which are located outside its manfacturing state. At present 2% CST is levied on such transaction resulting into higher input cost for OEMs.

In case of motorcycle the effective tax rate stands ~30%.

GST < 20% Bajaj Auto, Hero Motocorp, Eicher Motors

We believe Auto Ancillary industry would also have a positive impact of GST. Apart from lower taxation, more uniform tax structure resulting into higher cost & tax for unorgnaised players would tend to benefit orgainsed players in terms of market share

We believe some part of the excise duty would be subsumed in GST.

The logistics services are charged a service tax of 14.5% which are billed to the customers. However, post implementation of GST the rate is expected at 18%. This is also expected to be billed to customer. Hence, the quantitative impact would be neutral in nature.

The sevice tax is paid on 4th or 5th of the month, however it is collected from the customer once the debtors are due. Hence the working captial cycle would be a bit elongatedQualitatively with GST implementation there would be a shift from a unorganized to

organized market. GST would create a semaless movement of goods across which would reduce logistics costs. Further, due to consolidation of warehouses the larger players with larger warehouses will tend to benefit.Hotel rooms are subject to service tax of 8.4%. Luxury tax varies from state to state of 4-12.5%. So aggregate tax is around 12.4-20.5%.With the implementation of GST and anticipated tax rate of 18% will negatively impact Hotel sector. However, compliance cost will be lower due to uniform tax structure.

Service tax on rooms: 8.4% luxury tax on rooms : 4-12.5%

GST < 20%

The aggregate tax on F&B is 20.1. With the implementation of GST, the tax rate will be lower and help in reducing compliance

lower and help in reducing compliance. Service tax on food bill: 5.6%GST proposes to impose 40% tax on aerated drinks compared to VAT of 20%. This will lead to higher pricing of non alcoholic beverages.

VAT on non alcholic beverage: 20%

Aviation

Sales tax in ATF ranges from 4-30% across states. However, majority of states charge sales tax in the range of 20-30%. Thus, with GST implementation the tax rate on ATF will be reduced and positively impact aviation sector.

ATF Sales tax : 4-30% GST < 20%

Textile & Apparel

We believe GST will be negative for Textile & Apparel sector assuming GST rate around 18-20%.Textile products doesn't have any excise duty, GST will result in higher taxes for the sector. On the flip side it will help organised players to have a level playing field

No Excise Duty on Textile & Apparel products. Sales tax of 2% on Yarn with no taxes on fabric segment. Other taxes levied includesTextile & Apparel

RetailNon Apparel retailers can benefit from GST as it current tax stucture is much higher than proposed GST rate of 18-20%.

VAT 12% with Excise & other taxes total taxes are ~26% which is substantially higher than expected GST rate.

GST, will safeguard media companies across genres such as cable distributors, DTH, movie exhibitors, distributors from the brunt of double taxation by paying service tax to the Centre and entertainment tax to the state government. GST will lead to one uniform

Cement

As cement companies supplies cement in home state and nearby states, they are subject to different tax rates across the state which impact cement prices. The aggregate indirect tax in the industry is ~24-26%.With GST in place, the effective rate will be lowered and help in lowering cement prices. Also compliance cost of cement companies will be substantially lowered on account of uniform tax structure

Quant Pick: Buy Bajaj Auto in the range of 2540-2560, Target: | 2980, Stop loss: | 2360,Time Frame: 3 months

Bajaj Auto (BAL) has been coming out of its long consolidation range of | 2200-2600 and is a major contenderfor short covering among Nifty heavyweights. Since February, the open interest in the stock has been on adeclining trend while 27% open interest closure was seen indicating short covering pattern in the stock

Major selling in BAL was seen in August, 2015 from | 2605. However, it has overcome this selling and gave its52 week high closing last week at | 2640. Sustainability of these levels would open good upsides in the stock

Despite remaining range bound in the last few months, one positive for Bajaj Auto is that the Nifty made newlows in January and February 2015 but the stock remained above August selling levels. At the same time,good delivery pick-up was seen near | 2450-2600. We believe | 2450 will act as a strong support level for thestock in the near term

The 60-30D HV pattern has started sliding into the negative territory indicating building up of positivemomentum in the stock. Thus, upsides towards | 2980 are likely in the days to come

Quant Pick : Buy Ambuja Cement in the range of 227-231, Target: | 274, Stop loss: | 207,Time Frame: 3 months

Cement stocks were major outperformers along with private sector banking in the recent up trend of themarket. Stocks like Ambuja Cement gained close to 20% from their February lows amid sustained deliverybased buying. We expect the current momentum in the space to continue towards its 2014 high levels

The stock witnessed six month high delivery based buying on May 26, 2016 near | 220. Follow up buying isl l id h k h l d d h l l Si M h A b j C hclearly evident as the stock has already surpassed these levels. Since March, Ambuja Cement has seen some

fatigue near | 230. We believe the stock will find further momentum once it is able to sustain these levels

Open interest in Ambuja Cement has increased sharply during the up move seen in the March series. Despitemarginal liquidation, open interest in the stock is still high indicating prevailing long positions in the stock

The 60D HV remains in a declining trend for the stock. The spread is still positive with respect to 30D volatility.There is ample room for the near term volatility to subside from current levels, which should help the stock tomove higher

FMCG and consumer durable stocks have remained in the limelight at the onset of monsoon and recoveredsharply.
