Abstract:
The replacement of the Central excise duty of the government of India by Central Value Added Tax(CENVAT) and sales tax system of the State governments by the VAT marked a major mile stone in the reform process of indirect taxes in India. It addressed the cascading effect under the erstwhile system by giving set-off for tax paid on inputs as well as tax paid on previous purchases and resulted in a major simplification of the rate structure and broadening of the tax base. In this perspective, the Central government has entrusted Dr.Vijay Kelkar, Chairman of 13th Finance Commission to suggest a unified system of taxation in developed nations form the base behind introduction of GST in India. GST is one of the most crucial tax reforms in India which has been long pending. It was supposed to be implemented from April, 2010 but due to political issues and conflicting interests of various stakeholders it is still pending.
