Introduction Post GST- Indirect Tax:As it is said, nothing is certain but death and After a decade of introduction of the GST Bill in taxes. the Parliament and passing by the Rajya Sabha, Taxes in India are classified into two main finally GST has become a reality in India. The categories viz Direct Tax and Indirect Tax. Central government passed four sets of GST Acts

in the Budget session this year. These were Direct Taxes are taxes that are directly paid to Central GST Act, 2017; Integrated GST Act, the government by the taxpayer. It is a tax applied 2017; Union Territory GST Act, 2017 and GST on individuals and organizations directly by the (Compensation to States) Act, 2017.

GST-How beneficial to Common Man?3) SGST- State Goods and Service TaxLet's look into an example:4) UTGST-Union Territory Goods and Service TaxVAT Regime:GST is also called a destination-based tax. Most I am a seller of boxes. I buy materials worth Rs. supplies are to be taxed at the rate of the 100, which bears Rs. 10 excise tax (tax on destination state. Supplies made outside India manufacturing). I process it to make the box would not attract any GST, however GST valued at Rs. 130. Assuming a 10% VAT tax rate registration may still be required for these (tax on value added), my tax liability is Rs. 13 (i.e. supplies. Intra-state sales will attract Central and 10% of Rs. 130). The total tax paid to the State levy, called SGST and CGST. And inter-government is Rs. 23 (i.e., Rs. 10+13). The cost state sales will attract IGST, which is likely to be a for the consumer increases by Rs. 23 on account sum total of CGST and SGST. IGST will also be of taxes.levied on imports.

GST Regime:GST Rates:Under the GST regime, the tax paid by me of Rs. Four GST slab rates are presently implemented 10 on the materials can be set off against my tax — 5, 12, 18 and 28%, as well as a cess of 28% liability of Rs. 13, thereby my net liability being Rs. on sin and luxury goods such as tobacco, big 3 (i.e., Rs 13-10). Effectively, I pay Rs. 3 as tax. cars and aerated drinks. The total tax therefore on the box is Rs. 13 (i.e., Rs Multi-Tiered System10+3). The cost to be borne by the consumer due to taxes is Rs. 13.

So, GST will reduce cost? We will wait for a result!

Conclusion:

GST in India is implemented with the notion, “One Nation-One Tax” with a view to simplify the Tax regime and also avoid double taxation. Even though the tax has become complicated due to the Federal System in which the taxes are divided between the Centre and States, citizens should get the benefits of the new regime in the years to

Benefits of the GST Model come. Hopefully, the growth of our country is The Model estimates to bring in what all its Citizens thrive for. Let the new initiative • An increase in GDP •An increase in bring prosperity and growth to our country.
