- Goods and service tax, Indirect Tax, Impact of Indian economy, value added tax, cascading effect
Abstract
GST also known as the Goods and Services Tax is defined as the giant indirect tax structure designed to support and enhances the economic growth of a country. More than 150 countries have implemented Goods and Service Tax so far. Even in the worldwide economic crisis India showed remarkable survival in its economic system. The proposed Goods and Services Tax is expected to be another milestone in the Indian economic growth. The radical aim of Goods and Service Tax is to uniform the separated indirect tax system in India and to avoid the cascading effect in taxation. The impact going to make by Goods and Service Tax will be a transformation in the entire tax system and will go beyond Indian borders. The implementation of Goods and Service Tax will reduce tax burden on manufacturers and thus encourages for the higher production. This process will increase the export of India and it will increase the total Gross National Product. Avoidance of cascading effect empowers the manufacturers to produce to their optimum capacity and retards growth in the Indian Economy
