6. Why GST is Important in India
The current structure of taxes in India is a rat trap. The
wide powers to levy and collect taxes provided to states
and central government. as a result, both levy different
kinds of taxes which makes the Indian tax structure
very much complex and a complex economy too. The
small scale industries In India continuously suffering
from these problems. So there are need to change Tax
structure in India. For organize tax structure There is
need to launch GST in India.

13. Beneficial for small traders and service
providers
As per the current VAT structure, any business with a turnover
of more than Rs. 5 lakh (in most states) is liable to pay VAT
(different rates in different states). But After GST This Limit
increased to Rs. 20 lakhs . So many small traders and service
providers will be exempt from GST.
Simpler online procedure under GST
The entire GST process – starting from registration to filing
returns and payment of GST tax – is online. So we do not have
to run around to tax offices to get various registrations under
excise, VAT, service tax.
Advantage of GST
14. Lesser number of compliances
GST unified all different types of Tax procedures, thereby reducing
the number of returns and the time spent for tax compliances .
There are 4 are basic returns ,which apply to all taxable persons
under GST.
Composition scheme for small businesses
GST also has an optional scheme of lower taxes for small
businesses with turnover between Rs. 20 to 50 lakhs. It is called the
composition scheme. It has now been proposed to be increased to
75 lakhs. This will bring respite from tax burdens to many small
businesses.
Defined treatment for e-commerce
Many Indian businesses provide goods and services through the
internet. Earlier, there were no specific provisions for treatment of
the e-commerce sector. Currently, states have variable VAT laws for
this sector. All these differential treatments and confusing
compliances will be removed under GST.
15. Regulating the unorganized sector
Certain industries in India like construction and textile are
largely unregulated and unorganized. GST has provisions
for online compliances and payments, and availing of input
credit only when the supplier has accepted the amount,
thereby bringing accountability and regulation to these
industries.
No hidden taxes
GST will not be a cost to registered retailers .So there will
be no hidden taxes and and the cost of doing business .
transparency
GST will also help to build a transparent and corruption
free tax administration.
16. Removing cascading tax effect
An important benefit of the introduction of GST
will be the removal of the cascading tax effect. In
simple words, “cascading tax effect” means a tax on
tax.
For Example -
A trader buys A Product for Rs. 20,000 paying 5%
(Rs. 1,000) as tax. 15% service tax on services of Rs.
50,000.
Currently, he has to pay Rs. 50,000*15% = Rs. 7,500
without getting any deduction of Rs. 1,000 VAT already
paid on above Product.
17. Under GST (assuming GST= 18%)
GST on service of Rs.
50,000 @18%
9,000
Less: GST on Product
(20,000*18%)
3,600
Net GST to pay 5,400
18. Disadvantage of GST
Increase in Operating Costs
Most small businessman in India has traditionally preferred to pay
taxes and file returns on their own to save costs. But GST is completely
new system. So that the small businesses will have to bear the
additional cost of hiring experts.
Higher Tax Burden for Manufacturing SMEs
Under the excise laws, only manufacturing business with a turnover
exceeding Rs. 1.50 crores had to pay excise duty.
But under GST the turnover limit has been reduced to Rs. 20 lakh, thus
increasing the tax burden for many manufacturing SMEs.
Sometimes dual Taxation
GST is being referred as a single taxation system but in reality it is a dual
tax in which state and centre both collects separate tax on a single
transaction of sale and service.
19. Online Procedure
GST compliance, return filing and payments all have
to be done online. Many small businesses are not
tech-savvy and do not have the resources for fully
computerized Tax System.
Costlier Service – Before GST system Service Tax
rate was 15% ,but now it will increase to 18%-20%
after GST. As such many services will be costlier.
telecom, airline and banking services will majorly
affected by GST.
Registration in the Many States Required–As per
GST, the seller would require registering in all the
states that it does business in and that would
increase the complexity for the seller.
20. Disability Tax – Opposition has called it as a Disability
Tax as many of the things related to disabled people
which were earlier Tax-Free are now included in GST
Taxation. Prior to implementation of GST, brail paper,
typewriter, hearing aid and motorized wheelchair were
tax-free whereas these things are being taxed now.
overhead expenses - businesses will need to train
their employees in GST compliance. this will also
increase their overhead expenses.
minimal exemption list - GST is not good news for all
sectors, though. In the previous system, many products
are exempted from taxation. The GST proposes to have
minimal exemption list.
21. GST : Impact On GDP
In a report issued by the Finance Ministry, it was
mentioned that Make In India program will be
more benefited by the GST structure due to the
availability of “input tax credit” on capital goods.
GST would be the key revolution in Indian
Economy and it could increase the GDP by 0.9 to
1.7 percent.
GST Positive Impact On
GDP
22. GST Negative Impact on GDP
As we know Real Estate also plays an important role in
Indian economy but some expert thinks that GST will
impact the Real Estate business negatively .it will add up
the additional 8 to 10 percent to the cost and reduce the
demand about 12 percent.
As the GST rates are 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% and if the GST
rate on service will be finalized at 5% or 12% then cost of
services will get reduced while in else case if the rate will be
18% or 28% on services then services will become costlier
and it will lead to inflation for a short period.
In a report, DBS bank noted that initially GST will lead to
rise in inflation rate which will remain for a year but after
that GST will affect positively on the economy.
23. CONCLUSION
As every coin has two faces in the same way
we tried here to familiarize the things
related to GST with both perspective i.e.
positively and negatively . Despite having
some factor which is being expected to
affect the Economy adversely ,there are so
many other things which are expected with a
positive impact on GDP.
