– Kalidas in Raghuvansh praising KING DILIP.
History of Tax
• Income tax today is an important source of revenue for government
in all the countries.
• More than 3,000 years ago, the inhabitants of ancient Egypt and
Greece used to pay income tax, consumption taxes and custom
duties.
• The origin of the word "Tax" is from "Taxation" which means an
estimate. These were levied either on the sale and purchase of
merchandise or livestock and were collected in a haphazard manner
from time to time.
Taxation in India
• In India, the system of direct taxation as it is known today, has been in force in one form or another
even from ancient times.
• There are references both in Manu Smriti and Arthasastra to a variety of tax measures.
• Manu, the ancient sage and law-giver stated that the king could levy taxes, according to Sastras.
The wise sage advised that taxes should be related to the income and expenditure of the subject.
• According to him, the king should arrange the collection of taxes in such a manner that the subjects
did not feel the pinch of paying taxes.
• He laid down that traders and artisans should pay 1/5th of their profits in silver and gold, while the
agriculturists were to pay 1/6th, 1/8th and 1/10th of their produce depending upon their circumstances.
• Kautilya's Arthasastra, deals with the system of taxation in a real elaborate and planned
manner.
• The land revenue was fixed at 1/6th share of the produce and import and export duties
were determined on advalorem basis (according to value).
• The import duties on foreign goods were roughly 20 per cent of their value. Similarly, tolls,
road cess, ferry charges (merchant vehicle) and other levies were all fixed.
• Kautilya's concept of taxation is more or less akin to the modern system of taxation. His
overall emphasis was on equity and justice in taxation.
Direct Taxes Indirect Taxes
Meaning It is a tax where incidence as well as impact
of tax is on one and the same person. In
other words, it is borne by the assessee and
cannot be passed on to the customer.
It is a tax where the incidence is on one person
but the impact is on the customer. In other
words, the person on whom tax is levied passes
on the tax burden to the customer.
Example Income Tax
(Gift Tax Act was abolished in the FY 1997 and
Wealth Tax Act was abolished in the FY 2015)
a) Sales tax
b) VAT
c) Excise duty
d) Customs duty
e) Service tax
Burden Burden not felt by all persons Burden shouldered by all persons
Classification of Taxes
GST – An Indirect Tax
• Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a uniform tax system which allows seamless
transfer of goods and services.
• This is the most simplified tax which facilitates multiple benefits such as increase
in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), increase in tax collections, no differences
between State’s taxes, strengthening of the economy and more importantly
eliminates all complications in indirect taxes.
• GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from
the manufacturer to the consumer.
• Credits of input taxes paid at each stage will be available in the
subsequent stage of value addition, which makes GST essentially
a tax only on value addition at each stage.
• The final consumer will thus bear only the GST charged by the
last dealer in the supply chain, with set-off benefits at all the
previous stages.
• The GST is a destination based tax, not the origin one.
• GST, now is accepted and adopted by all the states in India
including Jammu & Kashmir.
History of GST
• It was first announced in 2006 by the then Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram in his
Union Budget speech that India would introduce GST by April 1st, 2010.
• Since then, many discussions went on the complexities involved in the
implementation of GST in view of the prevailing Central and State Taxes.
• Further, due to lack of consensus between Central and State Governments and a few
other practical issues, the implementation of GST is delayed.
• Finally, it came into force w.e.f. 01.07.2017

goods to Anand in Maharashtra worth
Rs. 10,000. The GST rate is 18%

Impact of GST on Common Man
• Tax on personal care products like soaps, hair oil,
detergent, kajal, tissue paper and toothpaste has been
brought down from 24-28% to 18% which certainly help
you save a lot of amount.
• While silk and jute have been exempted from taxes, cotton
and natural fibre will be taxed at 5%, man-made fibres at
18%, and apparel costing below Rs 1,000 at 5%. Apart from
this, GST rate of 5% will be imposed on footwear below Rs
500.
• Mobile phones will also get cheaper as the
tax levied on them will be reduced to 12%
from 13.5%.
• The automobile industry will get a major
boost as the prices of entry-level cars are
expected to drop significantly. Two-
wheelers with engine capacity below 350
cc, SUVs and three-wheeler commercial
vehicles will now be cheaper.
How to Avoid GST?
• While going out side take bottle of water with you...Avoid buying water bottle outside.
• While starting journey, avoid buying food out side…Home made food recommended.
• Buy groceries from near by shops. Avoid buying in malls and super markets…Prefer to
rythubazaars.
• Avoid shopping on weekends…please visit friends/relatives house..you can build relations
• If you go to a tour, please stay in relatives house rather than staying in hotels.
• Cash in hand is the best way to avoid un necessary charges from bank
Conclusion
• The successful implementation of GST depends on the understanding and co-operation
between Central and State Governments.
• Further, there are many hurdles to be crossed in its implementation. Whether, the GST
makes life easy or more comfortable, future remains to be unseen.
• But it is certain that the monthly budget of people if goes beyond the essential consumer
goods, will impact their overall expenses and creates more complications.
• In addition to this, the impact of inflation is always unpredictable. Even there is no
guarantee that the manufacturer will pass on the tax benefit to the end user. Keeping these
issues aside, one can say that GST will be a welcome change for the development of the
economy since it is expected to simplify the indirect tax structure in India.

  • 34. Conclusion • The successful implementation of GST depends on the understanding and co-operation between Central and State Governments. • Further, there are many hurdles to be crossed in its implementation. Whether, the GST makes life easy or more comfortable, future remains to be unseen. • But it is certain that the monthly budget of people if goes beyond the essential consumer goods, will impact their overall expenses and creates more complications. • In addition to this, the impact of inflation is always unpredictable. Even there is no guarantee that the manufacturer will pass on the tax benefit to the end user. Keeping these issues aside, one can say that GST will be a welcome change for the development of the economy since it is expected to simplify the indirect tax structure in India.
