In India, indirect taxes are an essential source of revenue for government. The introduction of GST in 2017 has transformed the country's indirect tax system, bringing a unified tax regime. Before the implementation of GST, India's indirect tax system comprised various taxes like Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, State VAT, Central Sales Tax, etc. These taxes were levied by the central and state government separately, leading to a complex tax system that needed to be understood and complied with.
Different Types of Indirect Taxes Excise tax The excise duty tax is imposed on specific goods such as tobacco, alcohol, and petrol. It is typically levied at the point of manufacture or importation. Suppose when a manufacturer purchases the raw materials for the company's goods and services, such as tobacco for cigarette makers. The manufacturer can transfer the cost to the consumer in the ordinary business course by raising the smoke's price. Customs Duty Custom tax is imposed on goods that are imported into a country. It is mainly calculated as a percentage of the value of the goods. For instance, a tax (customs tax) is paid by the importer of a container of bananas from another nation when it enters the US. This tax is then passed on to consumers. Goods and Services Tax (GST) GST is a value-added tax levied on the supply of goods and services at each stage of production and distribution. It replaced various indirect taxes, such as excise duty, service tax, and value-added tax (VAT). It creates a unified and integrated market by eliminating the cascading effect of taxes and reducing the compliance burden on taxpayers. This ensures that the end consumer bears the tax burden. GST operates on a dual model, meaning the central and state governments administer it. The central government levies the Central GST (CGST), while the respective state government levies the state GST (SGST). Additionally, an integrated GST (IGST) is levied on inter-state supplies of goods and services. Features of Indirect Tax Tax liability: The buyer is now responsible for paying the Gov. indirect taxes instead of the service provider or seller Tax payment: The Government receives indirect tax payments from the supplier, which are then passed on to the customer. Nature: Although indirect taxes were initially regressive, they are now largely progressive due to the Goods and Services Tax. Saving and investing: Because they encourage consumers to save and invest, indirect taxes are typically growth-oriented.
