Explain various participants and their roles in GST Eco-System.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) eco-system involves various participants who play different roles in the
implementation, administration, and compliance of the GST system.
Here are the key participants and their roles in the GST eco-system:
1. Taxpayers: Taxpayers are individuals or entities engaged in the supply of goods or services. They are
required to register under GST, maintain proper records, issue GST-compliant invoices, and file GST returns.
Role: Taxpayers are responsible for collecting and remitting the GST to the government, as well as claiming
input tax credits.
2. Central Government: The Central Government is responsible for the overall administration, policy-making,
and implementation of GST at the national level.
Role: It sets the GST rates, formulates rules and regulations, and collects the Central Goods and Services
Tax (CGST) component of the tax.
3. State Governments: State Governments have a significant role in the GST eco-system. They administer and
collect the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) component of the tax.
Role: State Governments are also involved in decisions related to tax rates, exemptions, and other policy
matters through their representation in the GST Council.
4. GST Council: The GST Council is a constitutional body comprising members from the Central Government
and the State Governments. It recommends tax rates, thresholds, exemptions, and other policy decisions
related to GST.
Role: The GST Council ensures cooperative federalism by promoting consensus-based decision-making
between the central and state governments.
5. GST Network (GSTN): The GSTN is the technology backbone of the GST eco-system. It provides the IT
infrastructure and platforms for GST registration, return filing, payment processing, and data management.
Role: GSTN enables taxpayers to comply with GST requirements electronically and facilitates seamless
information flow between taxpayers, tax authorities, and other stakeholders.
6. Tax Authorities: Tax authorities, at the central and state levels, are responsible for enforcing and
administering the GST laws. They verify GST registrations, conduct audits, and investigations, issue notices,
and ensure compliance with GST regulations.
Role: Tax authorities have the power to assess, collect, and recover GST dues, as well as impose penalties
and take legal actions in case of non-compliance.
7. Chartered Accountants and Tax Professionals: Chartered Accountants (CAs), tax professionals, and
consultants play a crucial role in assisting taxpayers with GST compliance.
Role: They provide advisory services, help with registration, maintain accounting records, prepare, and file
GST returns, conduct audits, and ensure that taxpayers meet their GST obligations accurately.
8. Banks and Financial Institutions: Banks and financial institutions are involved in the GST eco-system as
facilitators of payment transactions.
Role: They provide the necessary infrastructure for taxpayers to make GST payments online, maintain
records of transactions, and generate payment challans for GST remittances.
9. Consumers: While not directly involved in the administration of GST, consumers are an essential part of
the eco-system. They bear the burden of GST as end-users and pay the tax on goods and services consumed.
Role: Consumers can verify GST compliance by checking GSTIN on invoices and can report any non-
compliance or issues to the tax authorities.
These participants collectively contribute to the smooth functioning and implementation of the GST system,
ensuring compliance, transparency, and ease of doing business in the indirect taxation landscape.
The 'Input Tax Credit' (ITC) mechanism allows registered taxpayers to offset the tax they have paid on inputs against their final tax liability, effectively reducing the overall tax burden. This system ensures that taxes are only levied on the value addition at each stage of the supply chain, rather than on the total value, thereby preventing tax cascading and making goods and services more competitive .
'Exempt Supply' refers to supplies that do not attract any GST, meaning no tax is charged or collected. This has significant implications for cash flow and business operations as it impacts the ability to claim input tax credits. Businesses dealing with exempt supplies may face higher operational costs as they cannot offset input taxes, potentially influencing pricing strategies and competitive positioning .
'Principal Supply' is the predominant element of a composite or mixed supply that determines the nature of the overall supply under GST. The classification is significant because it affects which rate of GST applies to the entire transaction. Under GST, the rate of tax applicable to the principal supply is used for taxing the entire bundle, thereby simplifying the tax structure for composite or mixed supplies, which may consist of multiple goods or services with different tax rates .
A 'Works Contract' involves a composite supply of both goods and services under a single contract. GST applies to the entire services portion of the contract, often leading to potential shifts in tax burdens from traditional VAT and service tax regimes to GST. It impacts billing, taxable rates, and input credit considerations, highlighting the integration of taxation on complex supplies .
'Aggregate Turnover' encompasses the total value of taxable supplies, exempt supplies, exports, and inter-state supplies across India within a financial year. It is crucial for determining registration requirements under GST. Businesses exceeding the threshold turnover must register under GST, impacting their compliance requirements including filing returns and tax payments, thus affecting their administrative and financial planning .
An 'Intermediary' under the GST system acts as a broker or agent, facilitating the supply of goods or services between two or more persons. They do not own the goods or services but arrange or facilitate the transaction, playing a crucial role in the supply chain by bridging supply and demand gaps. Intermediaries are crucial in sectors like marketing and import-export as they ensure that the flow of goods and services remains uninterrupted, often aiding in reducing transaction costs .
The key features of the IGST Act involve the levy and collection of IGST on inter-state supplies and the Input Tax Credit (ITC) mechanism. Levied on inter-state supplies of goods and services, IGST helps avoid the cascading of taxes by allowing tax credits to flow across state borders, thereby facilitating smoother inter-state commerce. This mechanism ensures that businesses can offset taxes paid on inputs against the final tax liability, reducing the overall burden of indirect taxes in inter-state transactions .
An 'Adjudicating Authority' under GST is responsible for passing judgments, decisions, or orders on legal and regulatory compliance matters. Its functions include resolving disputes, providing clarity on ambiguities, enforcing compliance, and handling appeals. This ensures uniform application of tax laws and aids in prompt resolution of disputes, fostering a clear understanding of GST norms among taxpayers .
'Consideration' refers to the payment or promise of payment, monetary or otherwise, made in exchange for the supply of goods or services. It is a vital component in determining tax liability under GST because its presence enables the transaction to be taxed. Without consideration, the supply may not qualify as a taxable supply, thus impacting the collectability of taxes by the government .
The 'Reverse Charge' mechanism under GST shifts the responsibility of paying tax from the supplier to the recipient of goods or services. This implies that the recipient is liable to pay the GST directly to the government rather than the supplier. It changes the 'normal' flow of GST payment, impacting cash flow for businesses since recipients need to account for the tax amount even when they have collected none from the supplier .
