BASICS ABOUT TAXES
(a) Indirect Taxes
(b) Direct Taxes
Indirect Taxes State Govt | Indirect Taxes Central Govt | Direct Taxes Central Govt |
Local Sales Tax (LST) | Central Sales Tax (CST) | Income Tax |
VAT | Excise | Wealth Tax |
Service Tax |
Local Sales Tax:-
Sales tax is collected from manufacturer itself and nobody else like distributor or retailer collects tax.
Particulars | A Manufacturer | B Distributor | C Retailer |
Sales | 100 | 150 | 180 |
Tax | 18 | 0 | 0 |
No sales tax on distributor and retailer, Whole taxes have to be paid by Manufacturer Only
VAT
Particulars | A Manufacturer | B Distributor | C Retailer |
Sales | 100 | 150 | 180 |
VAT | 10 | 15 | 18 |
Haryana Government will receive 18 Rs as Taxes in both the cases
(a) LST:- Whole 18 Rs to be paid by A and No Taxes to be paid by B and C
(b) VAT:- Taxes to be paid on Value Addition
A will pay 10 Rs
B Will Pay 15-10 = 5 Rs
C Will Pay 18-15 = 3 Rs,
ITC (Input Tax Credit)
A Zero
B 10 Rs
C 15 Rs
LST and CST
Particulars | A Delhi Manufacturer | B Haryana Distributor | C Haryana Retailer |
Sales | 100 | 150 | 180 |
CST | 10 | 0 | 0 |
VAT | 0 | 15 | 18 |
Since Goods moved from one state to another Central Govt will receive 10 Rs from A Manufacturer
Haryana Govt will not give any Input Tax Credit since taxes have been deposited with Central Govt.
(a) Haryana Govt will Receive 15 Rs from B
(b) Haryana Govt will Receive 18-15= 3 Rs from C, Since B has sold within the state so input tax credit will be allowed to C for taxes paid by B.
So in Nutshell
(a) CG will receive 10 Rs as LST
(b) SG will receive 18 Rs from B and C
This 10 Rs taxes paid in interstate transactions for which input tax credit is not allowed is also known as cascading effect on taxes or tax on taxes.
Question 1:-
