Proposed dual GST : April 1, 2010

India proposes to introduce a dual system of GST by April 2010, with taxes imposed at both federal and state levels and a further distinction between GST on goods and GST on services. The relative complexity of the current model has prompted the development of the plan to move to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the expectation that it will create a simplified and integrated system of indirect taxation. The introduction of a dual GST will be, in effect, an integration and rationalisation of the existing regimes at both federal and state levels. Equally however, it is fundamentally different from the present regime in a variety of ways.

India’s policymakers have recognised that as an increasingly important international market and the destination for considerable foreign investment, India needs to provide a tax regime that, to the greatest extent possible, integrates closely with the rest of the world.

We at PwC are playing a key role in fostering awareness of the GST through our articles, alerts communications, and other variety of ways on the subject.
