Question 11

tax structure before gst

Answer 11

Before the implementation of GST, taxation laws between the Centre and states were clearly determined. There were no overlaps between the fiscal powers, what so ever. The Centre would levy tax on goods manufacture, except alcohol for consumption, narcotics, etc.
The states had the power to charge tax on the sale of goods.
The Centre would levy the Central Sales Tax that was collected by the originating states.
The Centre was also levying service tax on all types of services.
Additionally, the Centre was charging and collecting additional duties of customs on goods that were imported into or exported from India. This tax was levied in addition to the Basic Customs Duty. This additional duty of customs is referred to as Countervailing Duty (CVD) and Special Additional Duty (SAD) and it counter balances excise duties, state VAT, sales tax, and other such taxes.
The introduction of the GST regime made amendments to the Constitution so that the Centre and states are empowered at the same time to levy and collect GST. This concurrent jurisdiction of the states and Centre also requires an institutional mechanism that ensures joint decisions are taken about the structure and operation of GST.
