In this news, we are going to cover a lot of things based on June 2020 GST. GST stands for goods and service tax, let’s have look highlights of compensation GST by June 2022

Highlights
● Between April and July, during the corona, Rs 1.5 lakh crore was to be deposited as GST compensation.
● The truth is that within April and should, the government’s earnings were negligible.
● On the opposite hand, GST collection is estimated to decrease by Rs 2.35 lakh crore within the current fiscal year (2020-21).
● Cess is going to be levied to satisfy this deficit, which can directly affect consumers’ pockets

In the 41st meeting of the New Delhi GST Council (Goods and Services Tax), there was a crucial discussion about the loss of three lakh crore rupees. Minister of finance Nirmala Sitharaman (Nirmala Sitharaman) compensation GST paid to the states and gave many details about the GST rates revision on many products. However, the state and therefore the Center isn’t in agreement about their idea of compensation. Thanks to Corona, the earnings of the middle and states have come down significantly. During this regard, the middle says that the states should take loans from the market, while the states say that the middle should do that work.

Cess by June 2022
In this way, there’s no consensus yet between the central and state governments, but buyers will need to bear the burden of additional borrowing as compensation cess on cars, soft drinks, pan masala, tobacco, and coal. The present deadline is going to be implemented by June 2022. How long it lasts will depend upon the quantity borrowed and therefore the interest. However, the difficulty of a rate hike wasn’t discussed within the five-hour GST Council meeting chaired by the minister of finance Nirmala Sitharaman. Despite this, there was no denial of upper compensation cess on some items or the inclusion of more products.

The decision of cess is ok, but the deadline is predetermined
During this regard, MS Mali, Partner at Deloitte India said- it’s a welcome measure to not consider any rate increase to scale back the cess. However, the market is moving towards lending, which may be for quite five years. Any decision to increase the cess beyond five years to satisfy the present compensation shortfall may become a precedent, but the cess deadline must be minimal and predetermined. So that it doesn’t become a permanent ‘sub tax’ of any kind.

Hence GST compensation reduced
During the meeting, Finance Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey said that the middle has unpaid liabilities of Rs 1.5 lakh crore for the primary four months of the present fiscal year. Explain that from April to July during Corona, GST compensation was to be deposited Rs 1.5 lakh crore. But the reality is that within April and should, the government’s earnings were negligible.

Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra, and Delhi aren’t satisfied with the formula
However, the opposition-ruled states said they weren’t satisfied with the formula and insisted that the middle should borrow. West Bengal FM Amit Mitra said, ‘The meeting was inconclusive. The question is who should borrow. The middle has a greater borrowing capacity. He has the power to lend more. ‘

Manpreet Badal of Punjab FM expressed similar views during a news conference. He said- the middle will lend and this amount is going to be repaid with compensation cess which can continue for 2-3 more years. This is often not acceptable to Punjab. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that under the present administrative setup, the Delhi government cannot take loans from RBI, and therefore the Center should do so to satisfy the deficit of Rs 21,000 crore.

Defending Maharashtra and other states, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar clarified that states can’t require loans thanks to financial constraints. While the central government can get loans at low interest. If states borrow at high-interest rates, this may unduly affect the cess and therefore the final burden will fall on consumers. He drew everyone’s attention to the very fact that if states attempt to take loans from the open market, it’s feared that interest rates will go up and it’ll become difficult to get loans.

2.35 lakh crore rupees expected
There’s an opportunity for a decrease of Rs 2.35 lakh crore within the GST collection within the current fiscal year (2020-21). The compensation required is 3 lakh crores, but the income from cess is 65 thousand crores. Therefore, this amount is 2.35 lakh crores. Of this, the shortfall of only Rs 97,000 crore is thanks to GST implementation. Consistent with the GST compensation law, states are required to be compensated. He said that within the fiscal year 2019-20, the middle gave Rs 1.65 lakh crore to the states as GST compensation. This includes 13806 crores given in March. The cess collection stood at 95444 crores within the fiscal year 2019-20.

These are two options
In the two options given for compensation, the primary option is that the states will get a special loan of 97000 crores from the Federal Reserve Bank, on which the rate interest is going to be much lower. A choice is that the whole 2.35 lakh crore gap is going to be borne by the states with the assistance of the Federal Reserve Bank. For this, the states have asked for seven days.
