Original Notification for New CGST Rules by CBIC

Measure to combat the gloomy phase of Indian economy was discussed in the World Economic Forum’s annual India Economic Summit. As per the discussion held in the event, abbreviating just the corporate taxes will not serve the purpose.

The growth rate of the Indian economy has declined to 5% in the April-June quarter, which is the lowest in the last six years. Other latest data such as GST collection & core sector output has also been negative which is a clear call for instant measures by the government.

The total GST collection of Rs 91,916 in September is the least figure among that of the last 19 months whereas the core sector output depicted the highest downturn of last more than 4 years in August with a decline by 0.5%.

The participants of the event, started in Delhi on Thursday with the joint effort of WEF and Confederation of Indian Industry, do not perceive that lowering down the corporate taxes will be able to restore the economy. They instead suggest for taking more measures & incentives such as cut down in income tax to invigorate the demand.

“Reduction in the corporate tax rate would be good but personal tax rate should also be cut down as the slowdown in demand is now clearly visible,” Adi Godrej, chairman of Godrej Group stated. “Government should provide more stimulus even if it means increasing the fiscal deficit,” he added.

Government proposals to revive the Indian economy from a six-year low of 5% in the April-June quarter includes blunt cut down in the corporate tax rate from 30% to 22%. The new tax rate at 15% for startups in the manufacturing sectors is also a part of the measures recommended.
Although the drop off in taxes will lead to revenue loss for the government but it will certainly be a financial booster of Rs 1.45 lakh crore to the Indian economy.

Experts from industries are pressing pedals for more reformation and incentives, as according to them, alterations in taxes are not enough to enliven the Indian economy & consumers from a depressing phase.
Gautam Kumra, managing partner at McKinsey also laid stress on different measures reformations to bolster the efficiency and competitiveness of India. He said, “Taxation is an important piece that will help India become competitive, but there are other aspects too including land, labour and financial sector reforms,”.

Reformation for the startups was also underlined by some participants in the event. According to them, the government should focus on the startup ecosystem and adapt a mechanism which will help them access the capital requirement easily.

“Becoming a $5 trillion economy would not be possible without innovation,” statement made by Vani Kola, founder of early-stage venture capital Kalaari Capital. “Hence, there is a need for structural reforms for startups to access capital,” she added.

Measures from the Reserve Bank of India are also anticipated to be announced soon. RBI may further slash the policy rates while reviewing its monetary policy.

Uday Bansali, president (financial advisory) at Deloitte said, “The mood is optimism with caution and there is more need for transformation,”. He also said,. “I feel we will be doing well in the long run, but there are some hurdles in the short run that needs to be addressed.”

Borge Brende, a member of WEF’s managing board has an optimistic attitude towards the fast revival of Indian economy.

According to a report, auto sales which were witnessing a steep fall will only be benefited with a minimal discount of 1-2 per cent discount only as against to proposed massive reduction in corporate tax which brings down the levy on companies to 10-12 percentage points. In contrast to this, if the government offered a GST reduction, the automobiles demand to see a rise which helps the automakers in offering a discount of 7-8 per cent, the report further added. In the last two decades, the auto industry is witnessing the worst crisis and urging for a GST slash from prevailing 28 per cent to 18 per cent which supports the industry in raising dwindle sales.

However, the GST Council completely ignored the pledge of the auto industry as the Central government come up with the decision of reducing corporate tax rates to benefit entire India. It is for the first time the country is following the deepening slowdown within the last 45 years and the first quarter GDP is reflecting the same with a six-year low of 5 per cent. According to the reports, the states will bear around 50 per cent of the Rs 1.45 lakh crore tax giveaways, which will put their finances into a deep-freeze. Ahead of the GST council meet in Goa on September 20, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced for GST tax rate cuts.

“Original equipment makers (OEMs) could choose to pass corporate tax cut benefits to customers, but this would imply only a 1-2 per cent additional discount as against 7-8 per cent if they were offered a 10 per cent GST cut (which did not happen),” foreign brokerage Jefferies quoted in a report. It is to be noted that the reduction in GST by a 10 per cent point would have brought on-road prices of the vehicle down by around 7-8 per cent, as per the report,” as a result, the issue of inventory pile-up ahead of the BS-VI transition in April persists, particularly for two-wheelers and medium and heavy vehicles.”

Considering a sharp surge in demand during the upcoming festive season, Maharashtra and Kerala region, among others observed a relatively weak demand in the first phase of the festive season, as suggested from the reports.

Consequently, OEMs will have to announce a heavy cut in pricing to bring inventory under control and to earn a share of the second half, the report suggests. The auto companies are already offering heavy discounts to overcome the crisis. If considered M&M’s Pawan Goenka records, a 20 per cent discount was already on offer which had been increased near about 30 per cent in Q1, the worst in two decades.

According to the report, the marginal tax rate cut from 34.9 per cent to 25.2 per cent would increase in earning per share about a 5-13 per cent for the OEMs. In other words, the tax cuts will boost OEMs earnings of around 5-13 per cent in the bottom line. However, the benefit would start witnessing from Q2, or even the write-back on higher taxes of Q1 and deferred tax liability showcased in Q2 number, it added. “We do not expect a significant turnaround in demand immediately and BS-IV inventory correction remains a headwind for 2HFY20. However, the measures have improved the prospects for a quicker and stronger recovery next fiscal,” the report concludes.

According to an allegation of the merchant organisation Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), the e-commerce companies are cheating GST through their festive season sale. The CAIT informed Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman via a letter that many e-commerce companies like Amazon and Flipkart are collecting reduced GST during their festive season sales which will cause in the reduction of their government’s GST revenue collection.

The CAIT further stated in the memorandum that the e-commerce companies which have started their “Festival Sale” especially Amazon and Flipkart are violating the Government’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy. The CAIT has a complaint from the government when a businessman is caught with a slight mistake during the business then a strict action is taken and now these e-commerce companies which are authorized only for Business to Business (B2B) transactions and performing Business to Consumers (B2C) transactions directly and not being considered for a legal action till now.

CAIT General Secretary Praveen Khandelwal through a letter tried to notify Finance Minister that these e-commerce companies are selling goods which are high in demand during their “Festival Season” and providing a huge discount ranging from 10 percent to 80 percent on the market value and the GST being levied on the same amount. Consequently, the GST revenue collection of the Government will have to face a huge loss. For which, the CAIT urged to the Finance Minister to look into the matter and investigate the business model of these e-commerce companies.
