Meaning Of GST ( Goods and Services Tax) and Types of Tax

-


GST Stands for Goods and Services Tax.

Before learning more about Goods and Sevice Tax, let’s try to understand how taxes in India work. The Government of India or any country needs money for its functioning and taxes are a major source of revenue for a Government of India. The taxes thus collected are spent by Govt. on the public.

These taxes are broadly classified into two types: Direct Tax and Indirect Tax

  1. Direct Tax – Direct Tax is imposed on the income of an individual. The amount of tax payable varies on the income earned by the individual from various sources such as salary, house rent income, etc. So, the more you earn, the more tax you pay to the Government which essentially means the rich pay more tax in comparison to the poor.

  2. Indirect Tax – Indirect tax is not imposed directly on the income of individuals. Instead, it is imposed on goods and services which in turn increase the cost MRP) of Goods and Services. Unlike a direct tax, the indirect tax should be borne by the end customer, rich and poor alike., There are many indirect taxes. Some of these are levied by the Central Government whereas some are levied by the State Government making the indirect tax system an extremely complicated system.

GST has been introduced to replace multiple indirect taxes levied by State and Central Governments in order to simplify the indirect tax system.

GST has replaced almost 17 of the existing state and central indirect taxes (more to come in the future) such as central excise duty, additional customs duty, VAT, entertainment tax, service tax, etc.

How much Chinese money is there in Indian economy ?

-
Chinese stake in the Indian economy is growing through investments, particularly in the technology sector. Indian export to China has outpaced imports but trade imbalance is still huge. An analysis of how deep Chinese money has penetrated in India. following the bloodiest clash with China in 45 years, reports suggest that the government would retaliate not only along the Line of Control (LAC) but also in the field of economy. The border question is complex, but the economic one is even more complicated. Since the 2008 global meltdown, China has seen a sharp rise in its economic prowess helped by a corresponding decline in the US's money power largely on account of its engagement in counter-terror-cum-geostrategic wars in the Middle East and AfPak regions.
