Question
Give two advantages of GST.

Answer

  1. Developing Common National Market by having One Indirect Tax: GST is a step towards development of Common National Market by levy of one Indirect Tax (GST) and thus, facilitating free flow of goods and/or services across India.
  2. Decrease in Cost of Goods by Removing Cascading Effect of Indirect Taxes: GST Paid (Input GST) is set off against GST Collected (Output GST). Thus, in effect, GST is charged on the value added in the subsequent sales. As a result, cascading effect is removed. With the removal of cascading effect of indirect taxes (tax on tax effect) and allowing credit of GST Paid against GST Collected, goods and/or services shall cost less.
  3. Ease of Doing Business: GST is a comprehensive indirect tax meaning that almost all the indirect taxes (except tax on petroleum, duties on alcohol for human consumption, customs duty and taxes levied by local bodies) are merged into it. Also, with improved harmonised indirect tax administration, setting up and carrying on of business has become easier.
  4. Attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): GST will attract foreign investment as a major barrier for attracting FDI is removed.
