GOODS & SERVICE TAX

 GST (Goods & Service Tax)

ABSTRACT

Since the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India, there were high
hopes that it would enhance government revenue, create a unified market, and eliminate the
cascading effect of taxes. While GST has achieved many of these objectives, it has not
completely eradicated tax evasion and related fraud, which were prevalent in the earlier
Value Added Tax (VAT) system. This paper investigates various modes of tax evasion and
the shortcomings in the regulatory framework of GST that address these issues. Additionally,
the study explores the measures available for curbing tax fraud.

INTRODUCTION

The Kelkar Task Force Committee, which examined the implementation of the Fiscal
Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, 2003, highlighted persistent issues in
India's indirect tax policy. Despite moving towards the VAT principle since 1986, the
taxation of goods and services remained fraught with challenges. The tax base was
fragmented between the Central and state governments, and services, a significant portion of
the GDP, were not appropriately taxed. In response, the Kelkar Task Force proposed a
comprehensive Goods and Services Tax (GST) based on the VAT principle. After extensive
deliberation, the One Hundred and First Amendment of the Constitution of India in 2016
introduced a national GST on July 1, 2017, ushering in the era of 'One Nation, One Tax, One
Market.' GST, a multi-stage, destination-based consumption tax, relies on the credit invoice
method, taxing only the value addition at each stage while facilitating the seamless flow of
credit along the supply chain. It replaces all previous indirect taxes on goods and services
with a unified system from manufacturers to consumers, comprising Central GST (CGST),
State GST (SGST), and Integrated GST (IGST).
Rationale for GST Implementation:
The shift to GST from the previous complex structure of indirect taxes was motivated by the
need for simplification. Central and State Governments imposed a multitude of taxes,
including Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, Central Sales Tax, VAT, Entry Tax, and more.
Each tax was separate, with varying provisions and compliance requirements, leading to
multiple tax evasion avenues and compliance challenges. The introduction of GST in July
2017 aimed to streamline this tax regime, bringing uniform tax rates for intra-state and inter-
state transactions. Key outcomes of GST implementation include

 Eliminating Cascading Taxes: GST has effectively removed the cascading effect of
taxes by allowing Input Tax Credit on the value addition at each stage of the supply
chain.

 Harmonization: It has harmonized tax laws, procedures, and rates across the country,
creating a unified tax structure.

 Boosting Investment Climate: GST has improved the overall investment climate in
India, benefiting state-level development.

 Enhanced Compliance: The environment of compliance has been improved through

online tax return filing and online verification of input credits, encouraging a more
transparent transaction record.

 Unified National Market: GST has eliminated inter-state economic barriers,

fostering the creation of a unified national market.

 Increased Government Revenue: It has contributed to government revenue growth

by expanding the tax base and enhancing taxpayer compliance.
 COMPONENTS OF GST

1. IGST
2. CGST
3. SGST
4. UTGST

CGST IGST
GST
UTGST SGST

1. CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax): CGST is the tax collected by the central
government on intra-state supplies of goods and services. In other words, it is the part
of the GST that goes to the central government when a transaction occurs within the
same state.

2. SGST (State Goods and Services Tax): SGST is the tax collected by the state
government on intra-state supplies of goods and services. It complements CGST and
is applicable when a transaction occurs within the same state.

3. IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax): IGST is applicable to inter-state

transactions, i.e., when goods or services move from one state to another. It is
collected by the central government and then distributed to the destination state. IGST
helps ensure seamless taxation on transactions between states.

4. UTGST (Union Territory Goods and Services Tax): Union Territories, which are
not treated as states in India, collect UTGST instead of SGST. UTGST is used to tax
supplies within Union Territories.
 REGULATORY AUTHORITIES

The Goods & Services Tax Council is the highest regulatory authority responsible for
offering recommendations to both the Union and State Governments on matters
pertaining to Goods and Service Tax (GST). Established in accordance with Article 279A
of the amended Constitution, the GST Council holds a constitutional status and is chaired
by the Union Finance Minister. Its members include the Union State Minister of Revenue
or Finance, along with the Ministers in charge of Finance or Taxation from all the states.
The GST Council serves as the principal policymaking body, and it is only upon its
recommendations that parliament and state legislatures enact laws and rules related to
GST. For operational purposes, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC)
and the states' Commercial Tax Departments (CTD) play a pivotal role in implementing
and regulating GST at the Central and State levels, respectively.

The CBIC, a part of the Department of Revenue under the Ministry of Finance,
Government of India, handles the formulation of policies concerning the levy and
collection of Customs, Central Excise duties, Central Goods & Services Tax, Integrated
Goods & Services Tax (IGST), prevention of smuggling, and administration of matters
related to Customs, Central Excise, Central Goods & Services Tax, IGST, and Narcotics
within its purview. Similarly, the States' Commercial Tax Departments (CTD) are
responsible for internal resource mobilization within the State Government and deal with
policy formulation and the collection of State Goods & Services Tax (SGST).

Mandate of GST Council

The GST Council's mandate encompasses various key responsibilities, including:
a) Making recommendations to the Union and the states regarding taxes, cesses, and
surcharges levied by the Union, states, and local bodies, which can be subsumed within
the ambit of goods and services tax.
b) Providing recommendations on the inclusion or exemption of goods and services under
the goods and services tax.
c) Formulating model goods and services tax laws, principles for levying the tax,
apportionment of goods and services tax on supplies in the course of inter-state trade or
commerce under Article 269A, and the principles governing the place of supply.
d) Determining the threshold limit of turnover below which goods and services may be
exempted from goods and services tax.
e) Recommending the rates, including floor rates with bands, for goods and services tax.
f) Suggesting special rates for a specified period to raise additional resources during
natural calamities or disasters.
g) Creating special provisions for certain states, such as Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,
Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura,
Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
h) Addressing any other matter related to the goods and services tax, as determined by the
GST Council.

MAJOR MODES OF TAX EVASION UNDER GST

Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, Sections 42 and 43 of Chapter IX of
the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) and State Goods and Services Tax (SGST)
Acts provide a framework for matching tax invoices, a cornerstone of the GST system.
However, challenges and modes of tax evasion have arisen as follows:

1. MISMATCH IN INVOICES

Matching invoices is pivotal to the equitable distribution of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the
Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN). The transaction of goods and services from
one party to another creates a chain the seller's supply is the buyer's purchase. Suppliers
must declare all supplies in their GSTR1, which should align with the recipient's
GSTR2A/GSTR2 for ITC to be eligible. ITC can only be availed to the extent that
invoices match, making this a real-time, monthly process where parties upload invoices
and counterparts accept. While GST extended ITC availability from intra-state to inter-
state supplies, the high volume of transactions and invoice mismatches pose a significant
challenge to achieving a balance between fair ITC distribution and safeguarding public
revenue. Mismatches can occur when:
  The recipient avails more ITC than the tax declared by the supplier.
 The recipient claims ITC, but the supplier does not declare the outward supply.
 The recipient falsely claims Input Tax Credit.

2. OVER- CLAIMING OF INPUT TAX CREDIT (ITC)

Over-claiming ITC is an explicit way to exploit the ITC mechanism. Established

businesses with GST liabilities on their outputs face limits in this regard, as excessive
credit claims would suggest unrealistically low profit margins. However, new businesses
have more leeway to exaggerate input claims without raising suspicion, especially if they
make significant initial purchases of capital goods and inputs without an immediate
corresponding level of sales. Export frauds also lead to fraudulent claims, with goods not
actually being exported out of the country. Such fraud may involve fictitious commodities
or authentic ones sold in the domestic market. A false ITC credit claim of ₹1 costs the
government the same as a fraudulent refund of ₹1. Therefore, fraudulent ITC refunds are
a major concern.

3. FAILURE OF BUSINESSES TO REGISTER

In the GST system, businesses operating near the threshold for compulsory registration
often fail to register. This helps them evade both the GST for which they are liable and
GST compliance costs. These businesses, often referred to as "ghosts," remain entirely
unknown to revenue authorities, and they can potentially evade both income taxes and
GST. This category typically comprises firms selling to final consumers or other
unregistered businesses.

4. TAX COLLECTED BUT NOT REMITTED

Tax evasion may occur when businesses charge customers GST but fail to remit the
collected tax to the authorities. The so-called "missing trader" frauds usually involve
registered businesses that vanish before paying the due tax. This may result from
underreporting sales, engineering bankruptcy before paying taxes, or other tactics.

Addressing these modes of tax evasion is essential for ensuring the integrity of the GST
system and preserving government revenue. Effective measures and continuous
improvements in the GST framework are necessary to combat fraudulent practices and
maintain tax compliance.

PROCESS OF GST FILE RETURN

The steps are as follows:

 Step 1: Register for GSTIN.

 Step 2: Log in to the GST portal
 Step 3: Returns dashboard
 Step 4: Prepare online.
 Step 5: Enter details
 Step 6: Check submission status.
 Step 7: Tax payment.

Form GSTR 3B  The Form GSTR-3B is a simplified summary return and the purpose of
the return is for taxpayers to declare their summary GST liabilities for a particular tax period
and discharge these liabilities. A normal taxpayer is required to file Form GSTR-3B returns
for every tax period.

Form GSTR-3B can be filed from the returns section of the GST Portal. In the post login
mode, you can access it by going to Services > Returns > Returns Dashboard. After selecting
the financial year and tax period, Form GSTR-3B, (if applicable), in the given period will be
displayed.

STEPS:
1

3
Form GSTR1  The Form GSTR-1 is a monthly/quarterly Statement of Outward Supplies
to be furnished by all normal and casual registered taxpayers making outward supplies of
goods and services or both and contains details of outward supplies of goods and services.
Every registered taxable person, other than an input service distributor /composition
taxpayer/persons liable to deduct tax u/s 51 / persons liable to collect tax u/s 52 is required to
file Form GSTR-1, the details of outward supplies of goods and/or services during a tax
period, electronically on the GST Portal.

You can opt for Quarterly filing of Form GSTR-1 under following condition
 If your turnover during the preceding financial year was up to Rs. 5 Crore or
 If you are registered during the current financial year and expect your aggregate
turnover upto Rs. 5 Crores.

Note: In case you have chosen Opt-in for Quarterly Return option, you need to file both
Form GSTR-1 and Form GSTR-3B quarterly only
Who should file GST Returns?

Under the GST regime, regular businesses having more than Rs.5 crore as annual aggregate
turnover (and taxpayers who have not opted for the QRMP scheme) have to file two monthly
returns and one annual return. This amounts to 25 returns each year.
Taxpayers with a turnover of up to Rs.5 crore have the option to file returns under the QRMP
scheme. The number of GSTR filings for QRMP filers is 9 each year, which include 4 GSTR-
1 and GSTR-3B returns each and an annual return. Note that QRMP filers have to pay tax on
a monthly basis even though they are filing returns quarterly.
There are also separate statements/returns required to be filed in special cases such as
composition dealers where the number of GSTR filings is 5 each year (4 statement-cum-
challans in CMP-08 and 1 annual return GSTR-4).
 Returns under GST

There are 13 returns under GST. They are the GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, GSTR-5, GSTR-
5A, GSTR-6, GSTR-7, GSTR-8, GSTR-9, GSTR-10, GSTR-11, CMP-08, and ITC-04.
However, all returns do not apply to all taxpayers. Taxpayers file returns based on the type of
taxpayer/type of registration obtained.

Eligible taxpayers, i.e. with a turnover exceeding Rs.5 crore are also required to also file a
self-certified reconciliation statement in Form GSTR-9C.

Besides the GST returns that are required to be filed, there are statements of input tax credit
available to taxpayers, namely GSTR-2A (dynamic) and GSTR-2B (static). There is also an
Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) available to small taxpayers who are registered under the
QRMP scheme to furnish their Business to Business (B2B) sales for the first two months of
the quarter. These small taxpayers will still need to pay taxes on a monthly basis using Form
PMT-06.

 To identify weaknesses in the current GST model in India.
 To propose measures for rectifying these weaknesses.
  To gain a conceptual understanding of GST: The primary aim of this study is to
develop a clear understanding of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Researchers
want to grasp the core concepts and principles of how GST works.

 To examine the features of GST in India: In this part of the study, the focus is on
understanding the specific characteristics of GST as it is implemented in India. This
includes how it's structured, what rates are applied, and how it operates within the
Indian tax system.

 To identify weaknesses in the current GST model in India: The researchers are
keen to pinpoint any shortcomings or flaws in the existing GST system in India. This
means looking for areas where GST might not be working as effectively as intended.

 To propose measures for rectifying these weaknesses: Once weaknesses in the

GST model are identified, the study aims to suggest potential solutions or
improvements. The goal is to provide practical recommendations for making the GST
system in India more efficient and effective.

Limitations of the Study

The study has some limitations, which are important to consider:

Due to time constraints, the researchers were only able to engage with a limited number of
manufacturers as part of their study. This means they might have missed uncovering
additional issues and challenges related to GST implementation. If they had more time, they
could have spoken to a larger and more diverse group of manufacturers to get a more
comprehensive view.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS

Within the company "XYZ Development Engineers Pvt. Ltd.," a detailed examination of the
taxes they pay and the taxes their suppliers pay is carried out. If there are any differences or
inconsistencies between these taxes, adjustments are made in the financial documents. These
corrected documents are then sent back to the supplier.

Additionally, the study highlights the critical role of verifying two important numbers in this
process:

GST Numbers: These numbers are used to identify the suppliers. Ensuring the accuracy of
these numbers is vital to the smooth operation of the GST system within the company.

UDIN (Unique Document Identification Number): UDIN numbers serve as an alternative

means of identification. If there are discrepancies or inaccuracies in the GST numbers, UDIN
numbers can help maintain the integrity of the transactions within the organization.

CONCLUSIONS

In summary, this research has aimed to help us better understand Goods and Services Tax
(GST) in India, with a focus on a specific company, XYZ…….. We had several goals in
mind: to explain the key ideas behind GST, to examine how it works in India, to find
problems in the system, and to suggest ways to fix those problems.
Through our investigation, we learned that GST is important for streamlining taxes and
promoting economic growth in India. But its success depends on how carefully it's put into
practice and how we deal with various challenges.

Our study of XYZ……... showed us the importance of thoroughly checking GST numbers
and Unique Document Identification Numbers (UDIN). Doing this helps a company follow
the GST rules and avoid financial problems.

So, here are the main things we've learned:

 Companies should have a clear and automated system to check GST numbers and
UDIN.
 Training and education about following GST rules are important for the staff.
 Keeping a good record of suppliers' GST information and documents is crucial.
 It's helpful to work closely with suppliers to make sure everything goes smoothly.
 Regular checks and staying up to date with GST rules are key to following the rules.
 When in doubt about GST, it's smart to get advice from experts.

By following these ideas, companies can do better with GST and avoid financial problems.
This also helps make the Indian tax system work well. But we should remember that tax rules
can change, so it's important to keep learning and improving how we follow these rules. This
study is just a start toward a more efficient and honest tax system in India, and we should
keep working on it.

RECOMMMEDATION

 Implement a Robust Verification Process:Develop a systematic verification process

for GST numbers and Unique Document Identification Numbers (UDIN). This
process should involve cross-referencing invoices, suppliers' GSTIN (Goods and
Services Tax Identification Number), and other relevant documents. Ensure that the
 verification process is integrated into the procurement and financial systems to
automatically flag discrepancies.
 Automate Invoice Matching: Consider implementing automation tools for invoice
matching. Utilize software solutions that can quickly reconcile invoices with supplier
details and GST numbers, reducing the risk of manual errors and discrepancies.
Automation can expedite the verification process and minimize the likelihood of input
tax credit mismatches.
 Regularly Update and Verify GSTIN Data: Maintain an up-to-date database of
suppliers' GSTIN information. Periodically verify and validate this data with official
GST records to ensure accuracy. Any discrepancies or changes in suppliers' GSTIN
should be promptly addressed to avoid compliance issues.
 Train and Educate Staff: Conduct training programs for staff responsible for GST
compliance and financial operations. Ensure they are well-versed in the verification
and reconciliation process. Training should cover the importance of accurate GST
data, the potential consequences of non-compliance, and the benefits of a meticulous
approach.
 Leverage Technology for UDIN Verification: Implement technology solutions for
the verification of UDINs. These solutions can help verify the authenticity of
documents, ensuring that they are not tampered with and maintaining data integrity.
Automated UDIN verification tools can streamline this process.
 Maintain a Document Trail: Encourage the practice of maintaining a comprehensive
document trail for all GST-related transactions. This includes invoices, receipts, and
other relevant documents. A well-organized document trail can simplify the
verification process and serve as evidence of compliance during audits.
 Regularly Audit and Review Processes: Conduct periodic internal audits to assess
the effectiveness of the verification and adjustment process. Review the accuracy of
GST data, compliance with tax laws, and any potential areas for improvement.
Address issues and inconsistencies promptly to maintain financial integrity.
 Engage with Suppliers Collaboratively: Foster open communication and
collaboration with suppliers. Discuss the importance of accurate GST data and
encourage them to maintain their records diligently. Collaborative relationships can
lead to smoother transactions and reduce the risk of discrepancies.
 Stay Informed About GST Regulations: Keep abreast of changes and updates in
GST regulations. Regulatory updates can impact the verification and adjustment
 process. Ensure that your organization is always compliant with the latest tax laws
and regulations.
 Seek Professional Advice: When in doubt, seek professional advice from tax experts
or consultants who specialize in GST compliance. They can provide guidance on the
evolving GST landscape, help with complex compliance issues, and ensure that your
organization stays on the right side of the law.
 Implement Data Analytics: Utilize data analytics tools to identify patterns and
anomalies in financial data. Data analytics can help detect discrepancies and
irregularities in GST-related transactions more efficiently.
 Standardize Documentation: Develop standardized templates for invoices, receipts,
and other GST-related documents. Standardization can reduce errors in
documentation and make the verification process more straightforward.
 Segregate Duties: Implement a system of internal controls that segregates duties
related to GST compliance. This reduces the risk of errors and fraud by ensuring that
no single individual has too much control over the process.
