The Impact of VAT in India


VAT is most certainly a more transparent and accurate system of taxation. The existing sales tax structure allows for double taxation thereby cascading the tax burden. For example, before a commodity is produced, inputs are first taxed, the produced commodity is then taxed and finally at the time of sale, the entire commodity is taxed once again. By taxing the commodity multiple times, it has in effect increased the cost of the goods and therefore the price the end consumer will pay for it.

The transaction chain under VAT assuming that a profit of Rs 10 is retained during each sale.

*Note: CST Paid cannot be claimed for credit. CST is assumed to remain the same though it could to be reduced to 2% when VAT is introduced and eventually phased out.

VAT can be considered as a multi-point sales tax with set-off for tax paid on purchases (inputs) and capital goods. What this means is that dealers can actually deduct the amount of tax paid by him for purchase from the tax collected on sales, thereby paying just the balance amount to the Government.
