Author Name: TN Ashok

In his view GST seeks to align the Indian taxation system with the global standards and norms
particularly with Europe and USA, the main trading partners, it has induced collateral; damage
in terms of its four layered tax system, making some products costly and some cheaper.

Items of mass consumption have become cheaper. Items of luxurious nature have become
costlier. Prices have gone up stiff. It will take time for people to understand the new taxation
system, the balance between lower taxation system, the balance between lower taxation rates
on daily use products and higher taxes on services that they enjoy not daily.GST will be levied
on all transactions such as sale,transfer,purchase,barter,lease, or import of goods and/or
services. India will adopt a dual GST model, meaning that taxation is administered by both the
Union and state governments. Transactions made within a single state will be levied with
central GST (CGST) by the central government and state GST (SGST) by the government of that
state. For inter –state transactions and imported goods or services, an integrated GST (IGST) are
levied by the central government.

GST is a consumption based tax, therefore, taxes are paid to the state where the goods or
services are consumed not in the state in which they were produced.
