Constitutional Framework...
Taxes levied by Central Government and State Government(s)
Authority to levy a tax is derived from the Constitution of India Which allocates power to levy various taxes between the Centre
and State
Article 265 of the Constitution which states that "No tax shall belevied or collected except by the authority of law
Article 246 of the Indian Constitution, distributes legislativepowers including taxation, between the Parliament of India andthe State Legislature
Schedule VII enumerates use of three lists;
List - I Where the parliament is competent to make laws
List - II Where only the state legislature can make laws
List - III Where both the Parliament and the State Legislature canmake laws upon concurrently

Parliament and the Legislature of every State, have power
to make laws with respect to goods

Rationale for Negative List
First Concept Paper for Public Debate (August 2011)
There are advantages in moving towards negative list at anearlier time in order to gain useful experience in its implementationand minimize the impact of the mammoth changes that GST mayusher
Revised Concept Paper on Taxation of Services based onNegative List (November 2011)
Introduction of Negative List at an earlier stage will pave the way
for the smooth transition to the GST, and significantly ease the
challenges arising out of implementing the GST.
7/31/2019 Rohan Shah
13/43
Rationale for Negative List
FMs speech (2012):
At the end of June this year, this tax will attain adulthood by completing18 years. It is therefore time to shift gears and accelerate ahead.However, service tax needs to confront two important challenges tosustain the journey. These are:
The share of services in taxes remains far below its potential. There is a
need to widen the tax base and strengthen its enforcement;
Service Tax law is complex and sometimes avoidably different fromCentral Excise. We need to bring the two as close as possible in the lightof our eventual goal of transition to GST.

Potential Revenue Impact
Effective percentage of entire service sector that is covered
under the tax net = 20-25% (First Concept Paper)
Estimated net revenue gain consequent to changes in the UnionBudget 2012-13, relating to Indirect Taxes, estimated at Rs.45,940 crore (Budget Speech 2012-13)
Service tax changes Rs. 18,660 crore additional revenue
Total Service Sector
(approx. 57% ofGDP) (A)
40% remains in thetax net
40% attributable tothe Informal sector
(under thresholdlimit)
60% remainstaxable

Principles of classification
Concept of composite service under Section 65A has been replaced
by bundled service
Reference to a service shall not include reference to a service used inproviding such main service
For services capable of differential treatment for any reason based on itsdescription, the most specific description to be preferred over a moregeneral description
In case of a bundled service, i.e. when provision of one service iscombined with element(s) of other service(s), taxability is to bedetermined as under:
If various elements of such service are naturally bundled in the ordinarycourse of business, it shall be treated as provision of the single service which
gives such bundle its essential character If various elements of such service are not naturally bundled in the ordinary
course of business, it shall be treated as provision of the single service whichresults in the highest liability of Service Tax
What is naturally bundled will be the subject matter of interpretation

Works Contract / Construction services
Differing schemes of abatements under VAT Laws and Service Tax law
Original Works, Contract value = Rs. 100/- Service Tax @12.36% on Rs. 40/- (abatement of 60%)
VAT @ 14.5% on Rs. 75/- (abatement of 25% under VAT Laws)
Effective value of contract subjected to Indirect Taxes is Rs.115/- asagainst an actual realization of Rs. 100/-
Taxing impact further aggravated for other than Original Works onaccount of the Service tax abatement being only 40%, thereforeeffective value of contract subject to Indirect Taxes is Rs.135/-

Ever evolving tax footprint
7/31/2019 Rohan Shah
37/43
Dichotomy between tax footprint and credit footprint
While the tax footprint has risen exponentially the credit footprint isnarrow and remains fragmented in silos
The scope of the term input service was narrowed in 2011, to
eliminate services availed for businesses and restricted to only forproviding taxable output service, and / or used in or in relation tomanufacture
Flexibility for distribution of credit has been restricted for Input ServiceDistributors
No concept of First Stage Dealer to pass through Service Tax credits
The net impact is that the cascading of taxes will rise and the sunkcosts in unutilisable credits will escalate
The potential approaches to addressing this problem could be Enlarge the scope of input services
Grant refund of unutilisable credit
Offer fungible reflective credits unutilised CENVAT credit can bemade available fungibly as VAT credit
