Revenue neutral rate: GST water muddied further

The GST waters have been muddied further. Reports have appeared about a NIPFP panel’s suggestion of 16 possible revenue neutral GST rates, ranging between 14% and 27% (perhaps even 28.5%). This is in a dual structure. Whatever be the rate, will be half imposed by the Union government and half by the States, so to speak. There is such multiplicity of indirect taxes (not just by Union and States), that we don’t know generally know what the total tax incidence is on any specific item. For instance, indirect taxes cover central excise, additional excise, service tax, surcharge, cess, VAT/sales tax, entertainment tax, luxury tax, additional customs duty, special additional customs duty, taxes on lotteries/betting/gambling, entry taxes/octroi, State-level cesses and surcharges, State-level purchase taxes and stamp duties. As far as I can make out, the NIPFP panel hasn’t included stamp duties. Independent of this NIPFP report, had you asked someone knowledgeable what a revenue neutral rate was likely to be, he/she would have picked a range between 16% and 20%, ignoring stamp duties. That would therefore be broken up into 8% Union and 8% States, or 10% Union and 10% States. But here is the catch. That “knowledgeable” person would have assumed petroleum products, liquor and tobacco were being kept out of GST. Taxes on lotteries/betting/gambling, entry taxes/octroi and purchase taxes were also being kept out. These were reasonable assumptions, because that was the way the GST negotiations were headed.
