Abstract:

 The Good and services tax (GST) is the biggest and substantial indirect tax reform since 1947. The main idea of GST is to replace existing taxes like valueadded tax, excise duty, service tax and sales tax. It will be levied on manufacture sale and consumption of goods and services. More than 150 countries have implemented GST so far. However, the idea of GST in India was mooted by Vajpayee government in 2000 and the constitutional amendment for the same was passed by the Lokshabha on 6th May 2015. The bill seeks to amend the constitution to introduce GST vide proposed new article 246A. This article gives power to legislature to every state and parliament to make laws with respect to GST where the supplies of goods or services take place. Despite the various amendments to the proposed transition, until the time GST is implemented, it would b worthwhile to assess its positive impact on the various development areas viz. Agriculture, Manufacturing industry, MSME, housing, poverty reduction, employment, price level, EXIM trade, GDP, government revenue etc. This paper is an analysis of GST concept, benefit and impact on Indian economy.
