Goods and Services Taxation in India: A New Beginning
Thursday, 14 May, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM India time
The introduction of Goods and Services Taxation (GST) in India has seen numerous delays caused by many factors, such as concerns over the loss of fiscal autonomy enjoyed thus far and issues surrounding which taxes to subsume and which goods to exclude from GST. The new Government has, however, shown serious intent of pushing forward with this important tax reform. The Loksabha (lower house of the Parliament) has passed the Constitution amendment bill with an overwhelming majority on 6 May. As the origin-based Value Added Tax (VAT) system gives way to consumption-based tax systems in the proposed GST in India, all stakeholders will need to gear up to meet the challenges. We’ll discuss:
• Current state of the indirect taxes and what GST promises.
• Constitution amendment and proposed structure.
• Challenges in migrating to the new business procedures and key functional issues.
• Lessons to be learnt from regional developments on tax reforms, mainly in Malaysia and China.
