Last Thursday, the Goods and Service Tax Council gave the green signal for rolling out the new tax (Goods and Service Tax) regime from July, clearing all regulations and legislations required for one of the most aspiring and ambitious tax reform measures since Independence.

Once the GST council approves the rules and regulations, the most vital issue of the assignment of the tax slabs to numerous services and commodities would be up for approval.

Goods and Service Tax has been recognised as a top priority reform by the current BJP government and the implementation of the same, although the government had missed several deadlines, is anticipated to support to raise India’s economic appeal for overseas investors while shaping up the disordered and messy indirect tax structure. Goods and Service Tax has been worked on for more than a decade, but a consensus had eluded the governments of the states and the central government until now.
This new tax regime will complement and harmonise 11 state and central taxes and duties into a single national sales tax. The GST will include central and state levies such as additional duties of customs, excise duty, value added tax, service tax, octroi, luxury tax and entry tax.
