Most developing countries continue to face severe issues in developing adequate and quick to
respond tax systems. While each of these paths to reform is necessary, in the end what 50 years of
experience tells us is that improving the precision and understanding with which fiscal issues both
within and outside government, is the really essential ingredient to developing viable and
sustainable tax systems in developing countries like India. Indian taxation system has undergone
remarkable reforms during the last decade. The tax rates have been rationalized and tax laws have
been simplified resulting in better compliance, ease of tax payment and better enforcement. The
process of validation of tax administration is ongoing in India.
Another key objective of tax reform measures has been to increase total tax to GDP ratio as a
means of achieving fiscal consolidation and improving resource allocation. GST, easier tax filing
methodology and simpler tax structures – Government of India is working to enhance the
government's revenue collection, at the same time ensuring that cumbersome taxes do not deter
investors. This paper review the three principal ways in which developing countries like India may
develop and progress their taxation systems - base-broadening, rate reduction, and administrative
improvement - in the context of the political economy of tax reform.

The researchers have attempted to study the impact of GST on Goods Transport Agencies (GTA) in select districts of Tamil Nadu namely Erode, Tirupur and Coim-batore. The paper aims to follow a qualitative approach and hence proper review of the literature has been taken into consideration. The review of literature provided a basic understanding on how to proceed with the research work and provided insights to learn new information. Since there are no much articles and published sources on GST and its impact on GTA, the researchers have collected literature reviews from various sources. The study also concentrates on primary data collection using a focus group approach. The study concludes that GST has been finally implemented officially throughout the Indian scenario and has a confused effect. Experts are looking forward to find solution for these problems. Transporters will have to make a significant investment in making technological advancements in the system of booking. Experts must be employed in order to comply with the rules and guidelines of the law. Now is the time to make reforms in business. The researchers have spent quality time to analyze and understand each component concerned with this research work. This research outcome will be favorable to all the connected parties and will be a very strong mechanism for transport agencies. The researchers have concentrated only on Tamil Nadu, which is the limitation of the study. The future researchers can conduct a comparative study and explore various industries and sectors.

In Indian economic history, the GST is the biggest tax reform. As government revenues increase in terms of increased tax compliance and reduced tax evasion, the spillover outcomes of GST are immense, enabling tighter control and encouraging more precise monitoring than the conventional tax system. Increased government tax collections will provide scope for increased public spending in numerous social and physical development programmes, providing additional scope for the generation of jobs. Despite GST's tremendous potential for a higher growth trajectory of the Indian economy, however, numerous companies, sectors and exporters are currently facing enormous problems because of the same. “More than half of the respondents revealed that their post-GST adoption of company revenue has decreased, according to the report. With respect to the overall accountability situation within the GST network, the majority of respondents suggested that the system is less transparent. The process for compensation and the availability of laws and regulations was less straightforward. In the global consumer/indirect tax reforms, VAT/GST was a major breakthrough. GST is a value added tax which applies to the use of goods and services. Different indirect taxes, such as CST, VAT, service tax, etc., were levied prior to GST. All these taxes were clubbed under one GST head, as one nation with unified tax system.” The 122nd Indian Constitution amendment approved GST on 1 July 2017. The main reason for incorporation is expanding the tax base by reducing the tax rate pressure. In India, GST is categorised at two levels:-state (SGST) and federal taxation combination (CGST).

New Zealand's GST is well-recognised as representing a move away from the traditional VAT model (as exemplified by the European VAT regimes) to that of a broad-based (minimal exemptions), relatively low (single) rate consumption tax. What is not so well-known is the extent to which other jurisdictions have reviewed and developed their consumption tax based (to some degree) on the New Zealand model since it was enacted with effect from 1986. In this article we explore the international impact of the New Zealand GST model in contrast to that of the traditional VAT model. We make a number of observations, including the extent to which the New Zealand model has been influential in Pacific nations along with a number of non-European Commonwealth nations.

Purpose: Goods and Service Tax (GST) replacing existing indirect taxes, central value added tax and state value added tax, in July 2017 is an epoch in Indian tax reforms. However, the success of GST implementation depends a lot on how it is designed, so as to decipher it easily. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to study the HSN Codes and their usage under GST so as to add to the existing literature about their need and importance. Design/Methodology/Approach: Since, the devil lies in the details because of the teething troubles associated with GST implementation. One such teething trouble is identifying one's business operations with the exact harmonised system of nomenclature (HSN) code under the GST law. The list of these codes is very elaborate, and as the tax to be levied on an entity depends upon the HSN code under which the entity is registered for GST, it is all the more essential to understand and identify these codes correctly with one's business. Hence, it is important to approach the topic by reviewing the existing information/literature and data sources in order to understand the relevance of HSN codes in the newly introduced indirect tax collection system in India. Findings: India by adopting HSN classification for implementation of GST, will gain recognition and acceptance from countries around the world that have already adopted and implemented it. Thus usage of HSN codes will not just simplify trade but will also make this new GST regime globally harmonised. Originality value: The paper contributes to the existing literature on GST implementation in India.

GST was implemented on 1 July 2017 and this change in tax system brought various changes in tax calculation in different industries. The current paper focuses on Taxes on Works Contract in construction industry where services and transfer of goods are included in one single transaction under GST regime. Earlier the tax calculation was made on both VAT and Service Tax on certain proportion of amount. The Tax calculation process was quite cumbersome, time consuming and also full of loop-holes as there was no proper method of segregating the value of services and value of goods accurately. But, after implementation of GST, the tax calculation on Works contract is simplified because one composite entry has to be made with single tax rate of 12% (or as applicable). The study has been conducted on live project of Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

The research is related to the covid impact on GST. It shows the impact of COVID on GST collections. The data is taken from the time GST was introduced. It mainly focuses on the trouble for the government to collect the tax. During Lockdown, which was imposed on March 2020, there was a huge economic loss that our country has seen ever. All the sectors were totally closed. People were not able to earn the income and all the sectors have affected. Due to less income, it was difficult to pay the taxes. Though government gave some tax reliefs to file the GST. The research describes about the pre and post covid impacts. The data is collected from 2018 to 2020. The summary of 36 months has been taken where the real effect is seen from March 2020 to Dec 2020, the time where lockdown was fully imposed. The corona has affected the world economy.

Each year, during the presentation of the national budget, the government announces some new policies that are meant to attract investors from local and abroad. Such incentives and policies will inadvertently affect the amount of tax collection for tax administration such as the Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM) and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD). Supported by their own legislation, the IRBM collects direct income taxes from businesses and individual employees and the RMCD is entrusted to collect indirect taxes.
Recent economic statistics implicate differing trends in tax collection for both direct and indirect taxes. Whilst the collection of direct taxes by IRBM has improved and is showing an increasing trend, the collection of indirect taxes has been stagnant every year. As an employee of the RMCD, this research is undertaken by the researcher to examine possible reasons for the tax collection trend in indirect tax revenue. Two possible scenarios come to mind when addressing the issue of decreasing or stagnated indirect taxes. First, there is indeed a reduction in business investment activities causing reduced indirect tax in the forms of sales tax, service tax and custom duties. Second, there are efforts by individuals or businesses to evade taxes. Whilst it is impossible to avoid tax evasion in totality, the RMCD can enhance the competency of its staff to deliberate their duties. Thus this study is also to determine if there is a possible staff competency at RMCD in identifying tax evasion indicator. Such competency is useful especially among those who are directly responsible with the administration of indirect tax collection. Data is collected through questionnaire survey, documentation analysis and on site observation.

Present Indian tax system is very complex as it includes cascading effects of tax. GST, being one single indirect tax scheme for the entire nation will attempt to make India united common market.GST referred as Goods and services tax is major taxation scheme developed for achieving economic growth. However, the proposal of GST was already initiated in the Year 2000 by Vajpayee Government. Though the constitutional amendment is passed by loksabha for it in may 2015 but it is yet to be ratified by Rajyasabha. India needs a strong and defined system of GST to overcome the shortcomings of VAT. This paper highlights advantages, objectives and history of GST.

A year after GST was launched on July 1 2017, administration of the new tax regime is still facing quite a few challenges that keep it from being what it was envisaged to be - a good and simple tax. But the new tax regime is here to stay and signs indicate that it is on its way to stabilise and deliver. Yet for quite some more time, it will continue to remain a work in progress.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been touted as the single biggest tax reform in the Republic of India. The GST Act proposes to replace all the indirect taxes with a single GST. The profound positive impact of the Act has been reflected in many works in literature. However, the Act has also been criticised for its complex and retrospective nature. The current academic papers on GST are mainly focused on the brighter side of it and very few of them have provided an all-encompassing picture of the Act. In this backdrop, the present article attempts to highlight the benefits and concerns related to this Act by taking cues mainly from the write-ups published in the newspapers as well as academic works.

The success of any social scheme or program is analysed through its power to transform the lifestyles and welfare state of human beings and their ability to reduce inequality in the society and contribute to country's growth. Our policy makers have deliberated a sequence of taxation to curb on this problem which we have been facing since independence. GST plan is one of them which have focused on welfare state of people. This paper is an theoretical comprehension of the impact of Goods and Services Tax over Indian Tax system. GST is the only indirect tax that directly affects all sectors and sections of our economy. The concept features and the framework of GST have been discussed in this paper. A couple of countries implemented this tax system followed by France, being the first country to introduce GST. India is a federal democratic and therefore the GST was implemented parallel by the Central and State governments as CGST and SGST respectively. The present paper focused on explaining the concepts of GST and its evolution in India. Then it discusses the problems faced by the country with respect to its implementation and how did it impact the economy at its initial stage.

“101st Constitution Amendment Act” i.e. GST Act 2016 has been passed by Indian parliament on September 8th, 2016 and as it is given in the notification of the GST Council on September 15th, 2016. The way to GST implementation is clear now. Indian Government and GST Council have worked very hard to enforce GST, one of the biggest indirect tax reforms globally, with effect from 1st July 2017. GST, a destination based tax, is proposed to be levied at all stages from manufacturing till consumption with the facility to set off credit of taxes paid at earlier stages. It is very much clear that only addition in the value of goods/services will be taxed under GST and final burden of tax is to be charges by the final consumer. Almost all indirect taxes levied by States and Center would be subsumed by GST except the taxes levied on Electricity, Alcohol for human consumption, Petroleum Products viz. motor spirit (petrol), natural gas, high speed diesel, petroleum crude, and aviation turbine fuel.
As it is being claimed by authorities that GST is a win-win package for all the parties involved in indirect tax system in India, like Easy compliance, Uniformity of tax rates and structures, Removal of cascading, Improved competitiveness, Gain to manufacturers and exporters are the main benefits for business and industry where as States and Central government are benefitted on the grounds of Administration (i.e. simple and easy), leakage (i.e. better leakage control), revenue efficiency (i.e. higher) and Consumers are benefitted coz of single taxation and overall lower tax on most of the commodities. Experts are showing their confidence in this GST draft for domestic trade, but pointing out many issues on export taxation under this GST regime. Attempting to know the feasibility of GST’s current format and its implications focusing particularly on Indian Export Sector, this study takes the discussion on the next level and reveals how and why exporters may require extra working capital to run their export business, along with other export related aspects which may be the cause of hurdles in dealing with current GST rules.

The aim of this paper is to understand the structure of GST and highlight the objectives of the GST and impact on present tax scenario in India. This paper also focuses on the calculation of GST in India. The attempt has also been made to identify the impact of GST on various industries. The GST is the biggest and most crucial tax reform in India since independence. The Government of India has decided to subsume all the indirect taxes of central and states and implement GST by April 2017. It was supposed to be implemented from April, 2010 but due to some disagreement amongst the stakeholders it could not be possible. With GST, it is expected that it will improve and strengthen the tax system which will minimize the tax evasion and distortion. The paper further explores the various benefits and challenges of GST. Finally, the paper examines and draws out a conclusion.

tax levy on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods as well as services at the national level. It replaces all indirect taxes levied on goods and services by the Central Government and State Governments. GST is the only indirect tax that directly affects all sectors and sections of our economy. The heritage, silent facets and the impact of GST in the present tax scenario in India has been discussed in this paper. The goods and services tax (GST) is aimed at creating a single, unified market that will benefit both corporate and the economy. A couple of countries implemented this tax system followed by France, the first country introduced GST. Goods and service tax is a new story of VAT which offers a widespread set off for input tax credit and subsuming many indirect taxes from state and national level. India is a federal democratic and therefore the GST will be implemented parallel by the Central and State governments as CGST and SGST respectively. The present paper focused on explaining the concepts of GST and its evolution in India. Then it discussed the salient features of GST and how does it works. It highlights the benefits of the GST for Indian economy. This paper also shows the challenges to implement GST and how it can be overcome. Thereafter, I have discussed the possible challenges and threats and opportunities that GST brings before us to strengthen our free market economy. GST, VAT, Input tax credit (ITC), CGST and SGST.

Tax policies play an important role in the economy through their impact on both efficiency and equity. There are number of indirect taxes either levied by the central government or by state government. They are imposed on import, manufacture, sale and even purchases of goods and services. The laws of these taxes aren't well-defined in terms of Acts, circulars and notifications that are given by relevant government bodies. It can be burdensome trying to understand every feature of indirect taxes in India. GST is a logical step and a major breakthrough in the history of tax reforms in the country. The subsuming of major centre and state indirect taxes would reduce the cost of locally manufactured goods and services. This is likely to increase the competitiveness of Indian goods and services in the international market and to boost Indian exports. The main objective of the paper is to discuss the key features of GST in India. The paper also evaluates the rationale of GST in India. GST is likely to improve tax collections and boost India's economic development by breaking tax barriers between States and integrating India through a uniform tax rate.

India is ready to implement its “Goods and Services Tax (GST)” act from 1st April 2017. It is expected that GST will minimise all the loopholes of existing tax system in India. However, critics argue that the euphoria over GST camouflages the deadly assault to tax policy as a means of promoting equity and efficiency. This review on GST highlights the challenges over GST claims. It has been observed that to implement GST effectively, both centre and state have to go hand in hand.

GST implementation is a milestone in Indian tax system. It transforms the country into one unified common market. It will reduce the existing complexity of taxes as it subsumes VAT, Excise duty, service tax and Sales tax. It is a consumption based tax applied on goods and services at the place of its consumption. The proposed model of GST is ―Dual GST‖ comprising Central and State component charging simultaneously on the common base. It also addresses the cascading effect of tax on cost of goods and services. Other countries experience in GST has proven to be an efficient tax collection system. The implementation of GST generates more revenue as it broadens the tax base and erodes the tax evasion. This Paper highlights the GST implications on tax structure, incidence and compliance.

By enabling many hopeful expectation government of India introduced Goods and services Tax (GST) after many decades of independence by subsuming all other indirect taxes which already dropped out from the economy. It is said that introduction of GST in India is the most significant and logical step towards the progress of the country after a successive series of GST all over the world. The concept is new for us though the topic is more controversial and debatable among the politicians and the economists, but how much it will influence the overall economy of the country and how does it worked under GST regime this research article has tried to explain it.
