1) Explain benefits of GST towards different sections of the society?
Ans 1. Consumers
• Lower Prices: GST often leads to reduced prices for goods and services due to the
elimination of cascading taxes (tax on tax). Businesses can claim credits for the tax paid
on inputs, leading to lower costs passed on to consumers.
• Transparency: GST introduces a more transparent tax system. Consumers can see the
taxes paid at each stage of production and distribution, reducing the potential for hidden
taxes and making pricing more transparent.
• Simplified Taxation: A single tax rate for similar goods and services across different
states or regions simplifies the shopping experience and reduces confusion over tax rates.
2. Businesses
• Reduced Tax Burden: Businesses benefit from the input tax credit system, where taxes
paid on inputs can be offset against the taxes on output. This reduces the overall tax
burden and helps in better cash flow management.
• Streamlined Compliance: GST replaces multiple indirect taxes with a single tax,
simplifying the tax compliance process. This reduces the administrative burden and costs
associated with managing different tax regimes.
• Boost to Efficiency: The removal of tax barriers between states (in a federal system)
facilitates smoother inter-state trade and logistics, leading to improved operational
efficiency and reduced costs for businesses.
3. Government
• Increased Revenue: GST can increase tax revenue by broadening the tax base and
reducing tax evasion. With a unified system, governments can better track transactions
and ensure that taxes are collected more effectively.
• Simplified Administration: A single tax structure simplifies tax administration and
enforcement. It reduces the complexity of tax laws and helps in more efficient tax
collection.
• Improved Compliance: The use of technology and digital platforms in GST systems
encourages better compliance among businesses and reduces the scope for evasion.
4. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

• Enhanced Competitiveness: SMEs benefit from the input tax credit mechanism, which
can lower their operational costs and make them more competitive against larger firms.
• Simplified Taxation: For many SMEs, the transition to a single tax system simplifies
their tax obligations and reduces the burden of managing multiple taxes.
• Access to Wider Markets: With fewer barriers to inter-state trade, SMEs can expand
their market reach more easily and benefit from economies of scale.
5. Low-Income Groups
• Potential for Lower Costs: While GST can increase the price of some goods and
services, it can also lead to lower prices overall due to reduced cascading taxes. However,
to address concerns, many governments implement exemptions or reduced rates on
essential items.
• Targeted Subsidies: Governments can use the revenue generated from GST to fund
social welfare programs and subsidies aimed at supporting low-income groups and
addressing basic needs.
6. Economy
• Economic Growth: By reducing the tax burden on businesses and consumers and
improving efficiency in tax collection, GST can contribute to overall economic growth
and stability.
• Increased Investment: A streamlined tax system can attract foreign investment by
creating a more predictable and transparent business environment.
Conclusion
GST offers numerous benefits across various segments of society, though its effectiveness
depends on its design and implementation. While it can reduce the tax burden, streamline
compliance, and enhance transparency, the specific impacts can vary, and targeted measures may
be necessary to address any adverse effects on certain groups.
2)what are the conditions for availing input tax credit
Ans Input Tax Credit (ITC) allows businesses to reduce their tax liability by crediting the tax
they’ve paid on their purchases against their tax liability on their sales. The specific conditions
for availing ITC can vary depending on the tax jurisdiction and the type of tax system in place.
For example, in many countries with a Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax
(GST) system, the general conditions usually include:
1. Registered Business: The business must be registered under the VAT or GST law.
2. Taxable Supply: The input tax must be related to taxable supplies or activities of the
business. ITC is generally not allowed for inputs used to make exempt supplies.
3. Valid Invoice: The purchase must be supported by a valid tax invoice or any prescribed
document that meets the legal requirements. This invoice must typically include details
like the seller’s and buyer’s GST or VAT identification numbers, the amount of tax
charged, and a description of the goods or services.
4. Receipt of Goods or Services: The goods or services must have been received by the
business. ITC is generally not available for inputs that have not been physically received.
5. Payment of Tax: The tax on the purchase must have been paid to the government. This
means that the supplier should have deposited the collected tax with the tax authorities.
6. Timely Claim: There are often time limits within which ITC claims must be made. This
usually involves filing the claim in the returns for the relevant tax period or within a
specified time frame.
7. Proper Documentation: All necessary documents, such as invoices and payment proofs,
must be maintained for record-keeping and compliance purposes.
8. Compliance with Specific Rules: Some jurisdictions may have additional specific rules
or restrictions. For example, ITC may be restricted on certain types of expenses or for
certain sectors.
For the most accurate information relevant to your situation, it's important to refer to the specific
regulations and guidelines issued by the tax authorities in your country or consult a tax
professional.
