GST likely to be rolled out via parallel tax structure  

As the finance ministry treads rather cautiously towards rolling out the goods and services tax (GST) by April 1, 2010 it seems to have worked out a preliminary process plan which will make it easier for the tax to be brought in effect.



 

According to top finance ministry officials, willing states are likely to kick off the process for making legislations to allow the centre and the states to make possible parallel taxation of goods and services once the Finance Bill for the current fiscal is passed in Parliament.

“As per the dual tax regime that has been announced for GST, there will be a central stream for taxes and a states stream for the same taxes. So, in order to allow this model of taxation both the centre and states will have to make policy changes. Once the policy is in place the item list to be excluded, etc, can be finalised,” the official said.
