While the success of the tax is often debated, October’s collections are a 6.6% higher than that of August. India’s Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, attributes the success of the tax to reduced incidences of tax evasion and a higher degree of compliance.

 In fact, in October, ₹6.7 million businesses filed their GST returns. The ₹1 trillion threshold was initially breached in April, after which collections have consistently been above ₹900 billion but never quite reaching that mark again. The Indian government expects that this time around tax collections will increase further with the festive season just around the corner. Aside from Diwali, Christmas and New Year’s, it’s also wedding season when consumer demand typically increases. The Ministry of Finance also added that the revenue in October pertains to the sales activities for the month of September. In the coming months, the government is hopeful that the increase in demand for consumption will lead to a rise in revenue at an even faster rate. So much so that it’s confident about meeting the <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Companies/209TWMGXqbauGBcvFmiv6K/GST-collection-rises-in-September-still-short-of-Rs-1-trill.html">fiscal deficit of 3.3%</a> of its <keyword id="6354971" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="gross-domestic-product">Gross Domestic Product</keyword> (GDP).

The<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/gst-collections-cross-the-1-lakh-crore-mark-in-october/articleshow/66457681.cms"> total gross GST</a> revenue collection in October constitutes Central GST of ₹164.64 billion, state GST of ₹228.26 billion, IGST of ₹534.19 billion and cess amounting to ₹80 billion . While the tax regime has yielded positive results for a select few states — Mizoram, Arunachal, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim and Andhra Pradesh — others have faced a<a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/business/economy/gst-collections-cross-in-october-5429010/"> shortfall in revenue</a> ranging from a mere 3% to a whopping 42% in states like Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

Additionally, cess collections reached Rs 13,260 crore, which included Rs 1,008 crore collected on imported goods. Furthermore, the inter-governmental settlement process saw the central government disbursing Rs 50,307 crore to CGST and Rs 41,600 crore to SGST from the IGST collected. This resulted in total revenue of Rs 94,153 crore for CGST and Rs 95,138 crore for SGST for April 2024 after regular settlement. During the financial year 2023-24 the total gross GST collection recorded at Rs 20.18 lakh crore, exceeding Rs 20 lakh crore with a 11.7 per cent increase compared to the previous fiscal year. The average monthly collection for this fiscal year, that ended in March 2024 stood at Rs 1.68 lakh crore, surpassing the previous year's average of Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The surge in recent GST collections reflects a positive trajectory for India's economy, underscoring robust domestic consumption and buoyant import activity. The figures bode well for the country's fiscal health and economic recovery efforts, signaling resilience amidst global uncertainties. The Goods and Services Tax was introduced in the country with effect from July 1, 2017, and states were assured compensation for loss of any revenue arising on account of the implementation of GST as per the provisions of the GST (Compensation to States) Act, 2017 for a period of five years.

Similarly, states too will have to amend their individual GST legislations separately.

It was decided in that meeting that 28 per cent levy on online gaming, casinos and horse racing will become applicable from October 1 onwards and will be reviewed for six months, and if need arises, changes could bemade in the tax structure after that.

Considering the fact that the GST council had to meet twice within a month owing to continuous representations from the gaming industry, seeking to ease the 28 per cent tax slab on gaming, the bills are likely to be pushed for passing as the applicability of the new tax slab is October 1. --IANSans/dpb

Some states like West Bengal and TamilNadu are against the imposition of GST without agreement on revenue neutral rates, compensation methodology etc. 
 
As far as the compensation to states to make up for loss of revenue, if any, due to GST, the Centre will provide 100% compensation in the first three years, 75% in the fourth year and 50% in the fifth year.

This is the second straight month in the current fiscal when GST revenue has topped ₹1 lakh crore. The collection in November 2020 is 1.4 per cent higher than in November 2019 when the GST mop-up was ₹1,03,491 crore. "In line with the recent trend of recovery in the GST revenues, the revenues for the month of November 2020 are 1.4 per cent higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year. "During the month, revenues from import of goods were 4.9 per cent higher and the revenues from domestic transaction (including import of services) are 0.5 per cent higher than the revenues from these sources during the same month last year," the ministry said in a statement. The gross GST revenue collected in November 2020 is ₹1,04,963 crore, of which Central GST is ₹19,189 crore, <keyword id="3517717" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="state-gst">State GST</keyword> is ₹25,540 crore, IGST is ₹51,992 crore (including ₹22,078 crore collected on import of goods) and Cess is ₹8,242 crore (including ₹809 crore collected on import of goods), the Finance Ministry said.

The Central Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, 2023 was introduced in Lok Sabha by Finance Minister <keyword id="129243" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="nirmala-sitharaman" source="Orion">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword>. The Bill seeks to amend the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. According to the statement of objects and reasons of the Bill, Section 109 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (12 of 2017) provides for Constitution of Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal, which is the second appellate authority within the Goods and Services Tax framework for hearing appeals against the orders passed by the Appellate Authority under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and the State Goods and Services Tax Acts. It said that non-constitution of the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunals is denying the taxpayers of second appellate remedy and consequently the taxpayers are seeking relief directly from the High Court, thereby burdening the High Courts. The amendments to sections 109 and 110 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 for enabling the creation of the Central Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunals were notified in July this year. "During the process of operationalisation of said Tribunal, it was observed that certain provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 need to be aligned with the Tribunal Reforms Act, 2021 (33 of 2021). The provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 are being aligned with the Tribunal Reforms Act, 2021, to initiate the administrative process for operationalisation of the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunals at the earliest," it said.

Bill to amend Central Goods and Services Tax Act introduced in Lok Sabha

The government wants to get everything under the tax ambit and now is planning to bring barters and exchanges under the <keyword id="6359833" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Goods-and-Services-Tax">Goods and Services Tax</keyword> (GST). 
 
So, if the bill gets passed in Rajya Sabha, exchanging smartphones and vehicles with new ones will no more be an advantage. 
 
If barters come under GST, consumers will have to pay tax on the full value. 
 
The government wants to put a clean chain without disruption in payments to ensure tax credit flows seamlessly. 
 
"It would have an impact on consumer electronics and automobile sectors, wherein old items or cars are exchanged with a new product at a reduced price. It would need to be seen how goods under barter or exchange would be valued," Pratik Jain, partner, KPMG India, told ET. 
 
But for this, government will have to mention clear guidelines. 
 
Reportedly, GST will be levied on supply of goods and services as against provision of service, sale or manufacture of goods presently. Supply will include barter, exchange and licences such as those for mining or spectrum.

GST will make sure everything is taxed, even exchange of smartphones, vehicles

<keyword id="6354743" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon-India">Amazon India</keyword> and Flipkart are studying the Budget proposal on levy of one per cent TDS, and will reach out to the government for clarifications. "We are studying the details, and will reach out to the government for clarifications. We hope the tax regime is simple and uniform so that millions of small and medium businesses can go online, digitise their operations and continue to contribute to growing the economy," an Amazon India spokesperson said in response to an e-mailed query. Flipkart also said it was going through the proposal.
 "We are studying the details, particularly how it impacts the MSMEs and Sellers on our marketplace platform. We will discuss further with our seller partners, and engage with government and other stakeholders in due course," Flipkart said in its response.
 The government on Saturday proposed a new levy of 1 per cent TDS (tax deducted at source) on e-commerce transactions, a move that could increase burden on sellers on such platforms.
 "In order to widen and deepen the tax net by bringing participants of e-commerce (sellers) within tax net, it is proposed to insert a new section 194-O in the Act so as to provide for a new levy of TDS at the rate of one per cent," according to Budget 2020-21 documents.
 The amendments will take effect from April 1, 2020.
 The documents said the e-commerce operator -- an entity owning, operating or managing the digital platform -- will have to deduct 1 per cent TDS on the gross amount of sales or service or both. This provision will not apply in cases where the seller's gross amount of sales during the previous year through e-commerce operator is less than ₹5 lakh and the seller has furnished his PAN or Aadhaar number.
 An industry expert said the move will reduce cash flow for sellers as cash will be stuck with government in refund system. Given that many sellers are micro, small and medium enterprises, it would add pressure on them.
 BookMyShow Head (Finance) Mitesh Shah said compliance on e-commerce has been increased by mandating them to deduct a TDS of 1 per cent on all goods and services sold on e-commerce platforms.
 "This would be in addition to TCS (tax collected at source) under GST (goods and services tax) and this amendment might further increase the cost of compliance for e-commerce companies," he added.
 A senior industry executive, who did not wish to be named, said levying the one per cent TDS on 'sales proceeds net of commission, shipping fees, listing fees etc' would have been more beneficial than the current proposal of the levy being imposed on gross sale. SR MSS
