Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the effects of India's tax system on growth, through the level and productivity of private investment. Comparison of India's indicators of effective tax rates and tax revenue productivity with other countries shows that the Indian tax system is characterized by: (1) a high dependence on indirect taxes, (2) low average effective tax rates and tax productivity, and (3) high marginal effective tax rates and large tax-induced distortions on investment and financing decisions. The paper finds that the most recently proposed package of reforms would improve tax productivity and lower the marginal tax burden and tax-induced distortions. But firms that rely on internal sources of funds or face problems borrowing would continue to face high marginal tax rates

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing tax system in India yields a low tax-GDP ratio as a major proportion of the population is dependent on agriculture which is practically untaxed. Similarly the service sector, which has the largest contribution in GDP, is also not fully taxed. Due to the structural reforms that were initiated in the nineties, the growth in revenue from indirect taxes has come down while the revenue from direct taxes has showed an accelerated growth. This study on the tax system in India evaluates the existing taxes that are being levied by both the Centre and the State Governments. It analyses tax structure in terms of rates, base, slabs, and exemptions, and its administration and operations to provide estimates of revenue's growth rate and buoyancy and tax effort. The authors not only provide detailed data on the existing structure and administration but also discuss the second generation reforms to address the issues that have emerged since the earlier reforms in 1991. More particularly they discuss the significant and important Direct Tax Code (DTC) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) that the Indian government is likely to introduce soon. They stress that these tax reforms will help India make further progress towards an open economy as well as ensure that Indian traders and manufacturers become more competitive and efficient in the international market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxes are a crucial policy issue, especially in developing countries. Just recently, proposals to raise middle-class taxes toppled the Bolivian government, and plans to extend or increase the value-added tax caused political unrest in Ecuador and Mexico. Despite the impact of tax policy on developing countries, a comprehensive study has yet to be written. Treating Argentina, Brazil, India, Kenya, Korea, and Russia as key case studies, this volume outlines the major aspects of current tax codes and explores their economic and political implications. Examples of both the poorest and wealthiest developing countries, Argentina, Brazil, India, Kenya, Korea, and Russia uniquely demonstrate the diverse fiscal problems of tax reform. Each economy relies heavily on indirect and corporate income taxes, though recently some have reduced their tariff rates and have switched from excise to value-added taxes. There is a large, informal economy in most of these countries, and tax evasion by firms is a significant concern. As a result, tax revenue remains low, even though rates are as high as those in developed economies. Also, unconventional methods to collect revenue have been implemented, including bank debit taxes, state ownership of firms, and implicit taxes on individuals in the informal sector. Exploring these and other concerns, as well as changes in tax law, administration, and fiscal pressures, this comprehensive anthology clarifies the current landscape of tax administration and the economic future of the world's poorer economies.

Excise Duty: Excise duty is a tax levied on the production or manufacture of goods in India. However, with the introduction of GST, most goods are now subject to GST rather than excise duty. Central Sales Tax: CST is levied on the sale of goods from one state to another in India. However, it has been subsumed under GST. State Taxes: Value Added Tax (VAT): VAT was a state-level tax levied on the sale of goods within a state. It has been replaced by GST. State Goods and Services Tax (SGST): SGST is a component of GST that is levied by the state government on intra-state supplies of goods and services. State Excise Duty: State excise duty is levied by state governments on the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages and certain other goods. Stamp Duty: Stamp duty is levied by state governments on various instruments such as property transactions, share transfers, and agreements. Local Taxes: Property Tax: Property tax is levied by local bodies such as municipal corporations or municipalities on the value of property owned by individuals or entities. Professional Tax: Professional tax is levied by state governments on the income earned by individuals engaged in professions such as lawyers, doctors, etc. Other Taxes: Capital Gains Tax: Capital gains tax is levied on the profit earned from the sale of capital assets such as real estate, stocks, and mutual funds.

Book excerpt: The reforms in Indian tax system in some respects are unique. Unlike most developing countries which were guided in their tax reforms by multilateral agencies, Indian tax reforms have borne the domestic brand largely in response to changes in the development strategy over time while keeping in tune with institutional arrangements in the country. Thus, even when the government sought assistance from multilateral financial institutions, the recommendations of these institutions did not directly translate into an agenda for tax reform. Despite this, the tax system reforms were broadly in conformity with international trends and advice proffered by the expert groups and was in tune with international best practices.The role of history and institutions in the country was also important in shaping the tax system. Indeed the assignment system in the federal polity has impacted on the tax structure and administration. This has also made encompassing, comprehensive and co-ordinate tax reforms difficult. The system of planning also introduced selectivity and discretion in tax structure and its implementation. The Indian tax reform can experience can provide useful lessons for many countries due to the largeness of the country with multilevel fiscal framework, uniqueness of the reform experience and difficulties in calibrating reforms due to institutional constraints. These, by themselves, are important enough reasons for a detailed analysis of the tax system in India.
