'Final GST draft coming soon, exemptions drastically cut'
IANS 17 December 2015
The finance ministry will shortly roll out the final draft of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill after drastically pruning the list of central exemptions, an official said here on Thursday.
 
"The government will roll out the final GST draft paper in the public domain very soon," said Special Secretary (Revenue) Rashmi Verma, addressing 'Indirect Tax and GST Conference: Recent Developments in India', without revealing the exact timeframe.
 
Verma said the government would drastically prune the list of exemptions currently being enjoyed by the industry as incentives for business expansion in hilly states and north-eastern part of India.
 
Reduction in exemptions would result in seamless flow of goods and services tax and substantially arrest its cascading effect, she said.
 
"Tax exemptions until now extended to industry for their expansion and diversification will have to go with GST legislation becoming a reality," said Najib Shah, chairman, Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC). 
 
Verma also said a large number of concerns and issues raised by the industry concerning GST had been addressed at the conference which was organised by PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
 
With the basic draft of GST bill already present in public domain, the government has been engaging with state governments and the industry to take a balanced view of the concerns and issues of the stakeholders, she added.

GST SIMPLIFIED....

Tax Reform Simplified,
Only 1% Tax on Receipt to get
more Taxpayers, Tax collections & more VOTES too.

1) For Big Tax collections,
take 1% Tax from 20 Taxpayers,
than 20% Tax from one Taxpayer.

2) Simple Tax of 1% on Receipt /Transaction /Interest /Sale
/Gift /Loan /Benefit /Salary /Dividends /Rent /Custom.....
any & all inward cash, Cheque etc.

3) Average say on Rs. 30 L Receipt,
Pay Rs. 0.3 Lac Tax per year.
If Taxpayers = 60 Cr.
Tax collection will be 18 L- Cr.

4) Simple Tax means more Taxpayers, more collection & No refund Problem.

5) At present, we have say @ 3 Cr Taxpayers,
with Collection of say @ 3.5L-Cr,

6) So with 1% Tax, the Taxpayers will work to improve Business / Goods Services/ R.&D./
Social work.So more Employment, make in India, less Farmer Suicide & Peace of mind to the people.

7) Bank Account number is your mobile number.

8) Tax payment by your mobile number @ RBI a/c,
In bank transaction, the Bank will deposit your 1? Tax by your mobile number @ RBI a/c directly.

9) For cash Transaction pay similar to Post paid Mobile charges,
to your mobile number @ RBI a/c.
Most will pay if the Tax is 1% & simple to pay.

10) Your Bank Account Number should be mobile number & connected to PAN/ AADHAAR /Passport/ Election Card etc.
For Simplicity.

11) Tax collection will be distributed to State & Local bodies, say 10% each, from the place of collection.

12) Also add 1% more (L.P.F.)
Less Privilege Fund,
similar to PPF for,
social / self benefit,
to give Power to the people for Social Cause / in your bad days.

13) In short Pay Rs. 20- for every Rs. 1,000- Received.

i) Rs. 10- as tax to RBI
ii) Rs. 10- in your (L. P. F.) a/c. Could be use for social cause/ for your bad days.

14) L. P. F. (Less Privilege Fund)
of 18 L- Cr, with 60 Cr voters, will reduce dependency on the Government for the Social development.
Fund will be used for the Social cause / in your bad days.

15) Keep faith in 60 Cr voters, as they will take care of their neighbours, in need.
Also most will pay, if Tax is 1? & Simple to pay.
Only Indian can make better India.

16) Can consider more tax for Higher Receipt, say above 0.5 Cr per year, payable at the year ending.
