All-powerful GST Council meeting reschedule on December 2-3

24 Nov 2016 Evaluate

The all-powerful Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council meeting which was scheduled for November 25 has now been postponed to December 2-3. This is the second time in the month of November that the GST council meeting had to be cancelled. The meeting was initially scheduled for November9-10, and was later postponed to November 24-25, as several states suggested changes in the model GST law and compensation formula

The meeting was to discuss the draft laws and also the contentious issue of administration of the regime. Though, the officers’ committee of both the Centre and states will meet on November 25 to finalise the three draft legislations that is CGST, IGST and compensation law, and these will be placed in public domain for stakeholders’ comments. However, the officers committee would not discuss the issue of cross empowerment to avoid dual control as it would be decided at the ministerial level.

The Central GST (CGST) will be framed based on the model GST law. The Integrated GST (IGST) law would deal with inter-state movement of goods and services. Also, the states will draft their own State GST (SGST) based on the draft model law with minor variations incorporating state-based exemption. These laws deal with returns, registration and refund process as well as where GST will be levied. The compensation law will list out how states will be compensated in the initial five years for revenue loss on account of GST rollout.

The Centre is planning to create Rs 50,000 crore fund for GST compensation by levying cess on demerit and luxury goods. At its last meeting, the GST Council agreed on a four-slab structure of 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent along with a cess on luxury and ‘sin’ goods such as tobacco. Also, the Centre is on track to introduce the legislations in the ongoing Winter session of Parliament, which ends on December 16.
