Question : 5

What is/are the most likely advantages of implementing ‘Goods and Services Tax (GST)’?

  1. It will replace multiple taxes collected by multiple authorities and will thus create a single market in India.
  2. It will drastically reduce the ‘Current Account Deficit’ of India and will enable it to increase its foreign exchange reserves.
  3. It will enormously increase the growth and size of economy of India and will enable it to overtake China in the near future.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a) 1 and 3 only

b) 1 only

c) 2 and 3 only

d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer: (b)

Exports will become ZERO RATED under GST, so statements 2 and 3 would have been correct If the examiner had used moderate words “GST will help”. But he has used ‘extreme’ words.

GST is unlikely to ‘drastically’ reduce CAD Because of crude oil import and OPEC cartel that manipulates its prices.

Similarly, GST is unlikely to enormously increase the size of our economy (IMF projection ~1-1.5% addition in growth rate.) and we can’t overtake China in near future, because unlike China we are keeping our currency undervalued against the dollar.

Hence statements 2 and 3 are wrong. We are left with Answer B.

Which of the following Tax is levied by Union and collected and appropriated by States?

a) Estate Duty

b) Stamp Duties

c) Passenger and Goods Tax

d) Taxes on Newspapers

Answer: (b)

As mention in article 268 of Indian Constitution, Stamp Duties are mentioned in the Union List shall be levied by the Government of India but collected and appropriated by the States.
