GOODS AND
SERVICE TAX

TAX
Tax in general is the imposition of financial charges upon an individual or a company by the
Government of India or their respective state or similar other functional equivalents ina state. The
computation and imposition of the varied taxes prevalent in the country are
carried on by the Ministry of Finance’s Department of Revenue. The Central Board of Direct
Taxes (CBDT) has collected Rs 1,117,416.5 crore (11.17 lakh crore) in total directtaxes in FY
2018-19.
GST is considered as an indirect tax for the whole nation that would make India one unified
common market. It is a tax which is imposed on the sale, manufacturing and the usage of the
goods and services. It is a single tax that is imposed on the supply of the goods and services,
right from the manufacturer to the customer. The credits of the input taxes that are paid at each
stage will be available in the subsequent stage of value additionwhich makes GST essentially a
tax only on the value addition on each stage. The final consumers will bear only the tax charged
by the last dealer in the supply chain with the set of benefits that are at all the previous stages.
It is charged at the national and state level at similar rates for the same products and italso
replaces almost all the current indirect taxes that are imposed separately by the
12
Centre and the States. Goods & Services Tax is a destination based tax which means that the tax
is paid at the place of supply.
Our Constitution empowers the Central Government to levy excise duty on manufacturing and
service tax on the supply of services. Further, it empowers the State Governments to levy sales
tax or value added tax (VAT) on the sale of goods. This exclusive division of fiscal powers has
led to a multiplicity of indirect taxes in the country. In addition, central sales tax (CST) is
levied on inter- State sale of goods by theCentral Government, but collected and retained by the
exporting States. Further, many States levy an entry tax on the entry of goods in local areas.
This multiplicity of taxes at the State and Central levels has resulted in a complex indirecttax
structure in the country that is ridden with hidden costs for the trade and industry. In order to
simplify and rationalize indirect tax structures, Government of India attempted various tax policy
reforms at different points of time. A system of VAT on services at the central government level
was introduced in 2002. The states collect taxes through state sales tax VAT, introduced in 2005,
levied on intra-state trade and the CST on inter-state trade. Despite all the various changes the
overall taxation system continues to be complexand has various exemptions.
13
This led to the idea of "One nation One Tax" and introduction of GST in Indian financialsystem.
This is simply very similar to VAT which is at present applicable in most of the states and can
be termed as National level VAT on Goods and Services with only one difference that in this
system not only goods but also services are involved and the rate oftax on goods and services
are generally the same.
Prevalence of various kinds of taxes is found in India. Taxes in India can be either direct or
indirect. However, the types of taxes even depend on whether a particular tax is beinglevied by
the central or the state government or any other municipalities.
14
In the earlier indirect tax rule, there were many indirect taxes levied by both state and centre.
States mainly collected taxes in the form of Value Added Tax (VAT). Every state had a different
set of rules and regulations. Interstate sale of goods was taxed by the Centre. CST (Central State
Tax) was applicable in case of interstate sale of goods. Otherthan above there were many
indirect taxes like entertainment tax, octroi and local tax thatwas levied by state and centre. This
led to a lot of overlapping of taxes levied by both state and centre.
For example, when goods were manufactured and sold, excise duty was charged by thecentre.
Over and above Excise Duty, VAT was also charged by the State. This lead to a tax on tax also
known as the cascading effect of taxes.
15
Taxes on advertisements
Taxes on lotteries, betting, and gambling
CGST, SGST, and IGST has replaced all the above taxes. However, the chargeability ofCST
for Inter-state purchase at a concessional rate of 2%, by issue and utilization of c- Form is still
prevalent for certain Non-GST goods such as:
(i) Petroleum crude;
(ii) High-speed diesel;
(iii) Motor spirit (commonly known as petrol);
(iv) Natural gas;
(v) Aviation turbine fuel; and
(vi) Alcoholic liquor for human consumption. in respect of following transactions only:
Resale
Use in manufacturing or processing
Use in the telecommunication network or in mining or in the generation or
distribution of electricity or any other power.
Objectives of GST
16
To reduce economic distortions.
Boost to exports: If Indian market will be competitive in pricing, then more and more
foreign players will try to enter the market, which results in more numbers of exporters
and benefits to Indian Market. As far there is no tax rate is finalized, butyes GST is much
needed in the countries where, it lacks transparency and complextaxation system. GST
will take away cascading effect of various taxes that are charged on sale/ production/
purchase and so. Products reaches to customers at very high rate as compared to
manufacturing, so with GST there will be only one tax and it will reduce burden to pay
off.
Under GST, CGST is a tax levied on Intra State supplies of both goods and services by the Central
Government and will be governed by the CGST Act. SGST will also be levied on the same Intra
State supply but will be governed by the State Government.
This implies that both the Central and the State governments will agree on combining their levies
with an appropriate proportion for revenue sharing between them. However, it is clearly mentioned
in Section 8 of the GST Act that the taxes be levied on all Intra-Statesupplies of goods and/or
services but the rate of tax shall not be exceeding 14%, each.
17
2. State Goods and Services Tax (SGST)
Under GST, SGST is a tax levied on Intra State supplies of both goods and services by the State
Government and will be governed by the SGST Act. As explained above, CGST will also be levied
on the same Intra State supply but will be governed by the Central Government.
Let’s suppose Ram is a dealer in Karnataka who sold goods to Sham in Karnataka worth Rs.
10,000. The GST rate is 18% comprising of CGST rate of 9% and SGST rate of 9%. In such case,
the dealer collects Rs. 1800 of which Rs. 900 will go to the Central Government and Rs. 900 will
go to the Karnataka Government.
Under GST, IGST is a tax levied on all Inter-State supplies of goods and/orservices and will be
governed by the IGST Act. IGST will be applicable on any supply of goods and/or services in both
cases of import into India and export from India.
18
Consider that a businessman Ramesh from Karnataka had sold goods to Anil from Kerala worth
Rs. 1,00,000. The GST rate is 18% comprised of 18% IGST. In such case, the dealer has to charge
Rs. 18,000 as IGST. This IGST will go to the Centre.
India is a federal country where both the Centre and the States have been assigned the powers to
levy and collect taxes. Both the Governments have distinct responsibilities to perform, as per the
Constitution, for which they need to raise tax revenue.
The three types tax structure is implemented to help taxpayers take the credit against eachother,
thus ensuring “One Nation, One Tax”.
New
Transactions Old system
system
19
For example:
Interstate sale in this two tax are involved. One is the CGST and another SGST is to be levied.
Within the state deal is to be payable to incorporate Goods and service.
Benefits of GST
To Trade:
20
3. More efficient neutralization of taxes especially for exports.
4. Development of common national market.
5. Simple tax regime –
a) Fewer rates and exemptions.
To Consumers:
GST may not subsume the following taxes within its ambit:
1. Basic Custom Duty: These are protective duties levied at the time of Import ofgoods
into India.
2. Export Duty: This duty is imposed at the time of export of certain goods whichare
not available in India in abundance.
3. Road and Passenger Tax: These are in the nature of fees and not in the nature oftaxes
on goods and services.
4. Toll tax: these are in the nature of user fees and not in the nature of taxes on goodsand
services.

Chapter – 2
The GST journey began in the year 2000 when a committee was set up to draft law. It took 17
years from then for the Law to evolve. In 2017 the GST Bill was passed in theLoksabha and
RajyaSabha On 1st July 2017 the GST Law came into force.
Bringing together 35 diverse stakeholders to nurture and roll out an indirect tax transformation
is the hallmark of Goods and Services Tax (GST) introduction. It has hadits share of relentless
efforts over several years, to bring all states and union territories insync. As we complete one
year of the GST, it would be worthwhile to look back to see how the journey has been so far.
The key principles adopted for designing GST were - Widening of the tax base,
elimination of the cascading effect, transparency and simplicity, and automation of
compliance.
It has taken over six decades to build the existing tax base, and only six months to amplify it.
This is a significant feat, enabling wider coverage, more transparency and robust tax collections.
As a matter of fact, it is also improving direct tax collections as aconsequence.
Mitigation of the cascading impact has resulted in an increase of Indian competitiveness inthe
global market. Businesses now recover much larger tax credits than before.
22
have firmly held the reins on the inflation rates post GST. This marks an exception fromthe
general global experience of price rise post VAT/ GST.
1) The Central Goods and Services Tax Bill 2017 (The CGST Bill)
2) The Integrated Goods and Services Tax Bill 2017 (The IGST Bill)
3) The Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Bill 2017 (The UTGST Bill)
4) The Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to the States) Bill 2017 (The
Compensation Bill)
The CGST Bill makes provisions for levy and collection of tax on intra-state
supply of goods or services or both by the Central Government.
23
IGST Bill makes provisions for levy and collection of tax on inter-state supply ofgoods
or services or both by the Central Government.
The UTGST Bill makes provisions for levy on collection of tax on intra-UT supply of
goods and services in the Union Territories without legislature. Union Territory GST is
akin to States Goods and Services Tax (SGST) which shall be levied and collected by
the States/Union Territories on intra- state supply of goodsor services or both.
The Compensation Bill provides for compensation to the states for loss of revenuearising
on account of implementation of the goods and services tax for a period of five years as
per section 18 of the Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016.

GST, such as dairy products, products of milling industries, fresh vegetables &fruits, meat
products, and other groceries and necessities.
Checkposts across the country were abolished ensuring free and fast movement of goods.
The Central Government had proposed to insulate the revenues of the States from the impact of
GST, with the expectation that in due course, GST will be levied on petroleumand petroleum
products. The central government had assured states of compensation for any revenue loss
incurred by them from the date of GST for a period of five years.
Background
Model GST law provides for registration of various persons in different situations. Thisarticle
aims at enlightening readers about the persons who are required to take registration and other
provisions related to registrations.
Threshold Limit
In order to provide relaxation to small supplies it is provided that every supplies shall beliable to
be registered under this act in the State form where it makes a taxable supply of goods and
services if its aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs. 9 lakhs .
However, this limit is Rs. 4 lakhs for the persons conducting business in NE statesincluding
Sikkim.
Here, aggregate turnover means the aggregate value of all taxable and non-taxable supplies,
exempt supplies and exports of goods and/ or services of a person having thesame PAN, to be
computed on all India basis and excludes taxes, if any, charged under
28
the CGST Act, SGST Act and the IGST Act, as the case may be. But aggregate turnoverdoes not
include the value of supplies on which tax is levied on reverse charge basis and the value of
inward supplies.
Following are the persons required to take registrations under this act –
f) Agents
h) Supply of goods or services through electronic commerce operator, other than branded
services
j) Aggregators who supplies service under his brand name or his trade name
k) Suppliers liable to be registered where it makes a taxable supply of goods of services ifits
aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs 9 lakhs
m) Businesses with turnover above the threshold limit of Rs. 40 lakhs* (Rs. 10
Lakhs for North-Eastern States, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand)
29
Documents Required for GST Registration
Composition Scheme is a simple and easy scheme under GST for taxpayers. Small taxpayers can
get rid of tedious GST formalities and pay GST at a fixed rate of turnover.This scheme can be
opted by any taxpayer whose turnover is less than Rs. 1.0 crore*.
*CBIC has notified the increase to the threshold limit from Rs 1.0 Crore to Rs. 1.5
Crores.
A taxpayer whose turnover is below Rs 1.0 crore* can opt for Composition Scheme. In case of
North-Eastern states and Himachal Pradesh, the limit is now Rs 75* lakh.
As per the CGST (Amendment) Act, 2018, a composition dealer can also supply servicesto an
extent of ten percent of turnover, or Rs.5 lakhs, whichever is higher. This amendment will be
applicable from the 1st of Feb, 2019. Further, GST Council in its 32nd meeting proposed an
increase to this limit for service providers on 10th Jan 2019*.
Turnover of all businesses registered with the same PAN should be taken into
consideration to calculate turnover.
30
Who cannot opt for Composition Scheme
The following conditions must be satisfied in order to opt for composition scheme:
No Input Tax Credit can be claimed by a dealer opting for composition scheme
The dealer cannot supply GST exempted goods
The taxpayer has to pay tax at normal rates for transactions under the Reverse
Charge Mechanism
If a taxable person has different segments of businesses (such as textile, electronic
accessories, groceries, etc.) under the same PAN, they must register all such businesses
under the scheme collectively or opt out of the scheme.
The taxpayer has to mention the words ‘composition taxable person’ on everynotice
or signboard displayed prominently at their place of business.
The taxpayer has to mention the words ‘composition taxable person’ on every billof
supply issued by him.
As per the CGST (Amendment) Act, 2018, a manufacturer or trader can now also supply
services to an extent of ten percent of turnover, or Rs.5 lakhs, whichever is higher. This
amendment will be applicable from the 1st of Feb, 2019.
31
How can a taxpayer opt for composition scheme?
To opt for composition scheme a taxpayer has to file GST CMP-02 with the government.This can
be done online by logging into the GST Portal.
This intimation should be given at the beginning of every Financial Year by a dealerwanting to
opt for Composition Scheme.
A composition dealer cannot issue a tax invoice. This is because a composition dealer cannot
charge tax from their customers. They need to pay tax out of their own pocket.
The dealer should also mention “composition taxable person, not eligible to collect tax on
supplies” at the top of the Bill of Supply.
Following chart explains the rate of tax on turnover applicable for composition dealers :
32
How should GST payment be made by a composition dealer?
GST Payment has to be made out of pocket for the supplies made.
*Only on the specified categories of goods and services and well as the notified class of
registered persons with effect from 1st Feb 2019 but is yet to be notified. Hence, not
applicable until then.
A dealer is required to file a quarterly return GSTR-4 by 18th of the month after the end of the
quarter. Also, an annual return GSTR-9A has to be filed by 31st December of next financial
year*.
33
What are the disadvantages of Composition Scheme?
Let us now see the disadvantages of registering under GST composition scheme:
A limited territory of business. The dealer is barred from carrying out inter-state
transactions
No Input Tax Credit available to composition dealers
The taxpayer will not be eligible to supply exempt goods or goods through an e-
commerce portal.
Input credit means at the time of paying tax on output, you can reduce the tax you havealready
paid on inputs and pay the balance amount.
Here’s how-
When you buy a product/service from a registered dealer you pay taxes on the purchase. On
selling, you collect the tax. You adjust the taxes paid at the time of purchase with the amount of
output tax (tax on sales) and balance liability of tax (tax on sales minus tax onpurchase) has to be
paid to the government. This mechanism is called utilization of inputtax credit.
For example- you are a manufacturer: a. Tax payable on output (FINAL PRODUCT) is Rs 450
b. Tax paid on input (PURCHASES) is Rs 300 c. You can claim INPUT CREDITof Rs 300 and
you only need to deposit Rs 150 in taxes.
34
Who can claim ITC?
ITC can be claimed by a person registered under GST only if he fulfills ALL the
conditions as prescribed.
d. The tax charged has been paid to the government by the supplier.
e. When goods are received in installments ITC can be claimed only when the last lot is
received.
f. No ITC will be allowed if depreciation has been claimed on tax component of a capitalgood
35
What can be claimed as ITC?
ITC can be claimed only for business purposes. ITC will not be available for goods or services
exclusively used for: a. Personal use b. Exempt supplies c. Supplies for which ITC is
specifically not available.
All regular taxpayers must report the amount of input tax credit(ITC) in their monthly GST
returns of Form GSTR-3B. The table 4 requires the summary figure of eligible ITC, Ineligible
ITC and ITC reversed during the tax period. The format of the Table 4 is given below:
36
Reversal of Input Tax Credit
ITC can be availed only on goods and services for business purposes. If they are used for non-
business (personal) purposes, or for making exempt supplies ITC cannot be claimed .Apart from
these, there are certain other situations where ITC will be reversed.
1) Non-payment of invoices in 180 days– ITC will be reversed for invoices which werenot
paid within 180 days of issue.
2) Credit note issued to ISD by seller– This is for ISD. If a credit note was issued by theseller
to the HO then the ITC subsequently reduced will be reversed.
3) Inputs partly for business purpose and partly for exempted supplies or for personal
use – This is for businesses which use inputs for both business and non- business (personal)
purpose. ITC used in the portion of input goods/services used for thepersonal purpose must be
reversed proportionately.
4) Capital goods partly for business and partly for exempted supplies or for
personal use – This is similar to above except that it concerns capital goods.
5) ITC reversed is less than required- This is calculated after the annual return is furnished.
If total ITC on inputs of exempted/non-business purpose is more than the ITCactually reversed
during the year then the difference amount will be added to output liability. Interest will be
applicable.
The details of reversal of ITC will be furnished in GSTR-3B. To find out more about the
segregation of ITC into business and personal use and subsequent calculations, please visit our
article.
37
Special cases of ITC
Stages of GST
There are multiple change-of-hands an item goes through along its supply chain: from
manufacture to final sale to the consumer.
Goods and Service Tax is levied on each of these stages which makes it is multi stage tax.

Important Aspects of GST
1. Levy of GST: The center will levy Central GST (CGST) and the states will levy State GST
(SGST) on the supply of goods and services within a state. The center will levy IGST in the
case of (i) inter- state supply of goods and services, (ii) imports and exports,and (iii) supplies to
and from special economic zones.
2 .Exemptions from GST: The Centre Exempt certain goods and services from the purview
of GST through a notification. This will be based on recommendations of theGST Council.
3. Turnover limit under GST and tax right over low turnover entities: GST is applied
when turnover of the business exceeds Rs 40lakhs per year (Limit is Rs 10lakhs for the North-
Eastern States). Traders who would like to get input tax credit should makea voluntary
registration even if their sales are below Rs 40 lakh per year. Traders supplying goods to other
states have to register under GST, even if their sale is less thanRs 40 lakh. There is a
composition scheme for selected group of tax payers whose turnover is up to Rs 1.5 crore
ayear. ( Rs. 75 Lakhs for North eastern States)
4. The four-tier rate structure: The GST proposes a four-tier rate structure. The tax slabs are
fixed at 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% besides the 0% tax on essentials. Gold is taxed at 3%. The
center has strictly demanded and got an additional cess on demerit luxury goods that comes
under the high 28% tax. Essential commodities like food items are exempted from taxes under
GST.Other consumer goods which are common items will be taxed at 5%. GST seems to have two
standard rates – 12% and 18%. GST rate structure forthe goods and services are fixed by
considering different factors including luxury/necessity nature.
39
5. Tax revenue appropriation between the center and states: The center and states willshare
GST tax revenues at 50:50 ratio(except the IGST). This means that if a service is taxed at 18%,
9% will go to the center and 9% will go to the concerned state.
6. Taxable amount (value of supply): The GST levied on the supply of goods and services,
whose value will include: (i) price paid on the supply, (ii) taxes and duties levied under other
tax laws, (iii) interest, late fee, penalties for delayed payments, amongothers.
7. Refunds and welfare fund: Any taxpayer may apply for refund of taxes in cases including:
(i) payment of excess taxes, or (ii) unutilised input tax credit. The refund may becredited to the
taxpayer, or to a Consumer Welfare Fund under certain circumstances.
8. Returns: Every taxpayer should self-assess and file tax returns on a monthly basis by
submitting:
(i) details of supplies provided, (ii) details of supplies received, and (iii) payment of tax. In
addition to the monthly returns, an annual return will have to be filed by each taxpayer.
9. Apportionment of IGST revenue: The IGST collected will be apportioned between the
center and the state where the goods or services are consumed. The revenue will be apportioned
to the center at the CGST rate, and the remaining amount will be apportionedto the consuming
state.
40
10. Dual Tax Structure:Centre and State both will levy tax on every transaction related tosupply
of goods/ services.Tax to be levied by Centre and States to be called Centre GST (‘CGST’) and
State GST (‘SGST’).
Supply between two distinct establishments of same legal entity taxable even
without consideration.
Supply of goods between agent and principal taxable
‘Gifts‘ by employer and employee for an amount exceeding INR 50,000 taxable
12. Imports/Exports:
Imports will be treated as inter - state supplies and would attract IGST, apart fromBCD
on goods.
Exports to be zero rated.
41
Key Features of GST
3. GST on five specified petroleum products ( Crude, Petrol, Diesel, ATF & Natural gas) would
be applicable from a date to be recommended by the GSTC.
5. Elaborate transactional provisions have been provide for smooth transition of existing
taxpayers to GST regime.
6. CGST, IGST and SGST/UTGST are levied at rates that are mutually accepted by thestates
and centre.

Drawbacks of GST:
1. According to the experts, terms such as GST which includes CGST, SGST, and IGST isnothing
but just a new name in accordance with the existing tax systems. Kind of old wine in a new bottle.
2. The Service Tax which stood at 15% in the previous regime has now been replaced with
GST at 18%. As such many services have become costlier with telecom, airline andbanking
affected majorly. In fact, insurance and petroleum are also said to be majorly affected by the
enactment of GST Tax.
3. The GST Act has given the control of businesses to Central and State Governmentswith
businessmen binding by-laws. This has given rise to complexity for many businessmen
across the nation.
44
4. Post GST implementation, the first few instances of application have resulted in high tax outgo
for businesses. Businesses are trying to claim the credit of input tax but several cases of mismatch of
data are coming up. As a result, there is chaos among the tax filers.
5. The opposition has called it as a Disability Tax as many of the things related to disabled
people which were earlier tax-free are now included in GST taxation. Prior to implementation of
GST, brail paper, typewriter, hearing aid and motorised wheelchair were tax-free whereas these
things are being taxed now. The opposition has made pleas toroll back the tax on such items.
6. On one end, the government is trying to give a push to banking services and insurancein
India and on the other end, the government has decided to tax banking and insurance service at
higher rates when compared to the previous rates.
7. GST has also had an impact on discount and reward programs as well. The product isbeing
taxed on the rates pre-discount whereas the products were earlier taxed at post discount
prices. Most of the companies have also suspended reward programs for temporary basis
because of complexities of GST.
8. The government has chosen a mid-year launch for GST and this will lead to problems intaxation
and reporting during the end of the financial year. Ideally, the government shouldhave launched
GST at end of financial year as this would have avoided a lot of confusionduring taxation and
reporting.
45
9. As per GST, the seller requires registering in all the states that it does business in and ithas
increased the complexity for the seller. The government should have created a provision for
centralised registration of State GST as this would have helped many sellersduring the rollout.
The GST transition has been smooth. The big question is how GST will impact a
common man’s budget.GST is stated to be one of the biggest tax reforms in India, which would
not only impact the business but also common man. The primary impact to be felt by the
consumers would change in prices of goods and services on account of GST rates. In terms of
impact in prices, while services would mostly be more expensive in the initialphases, impact on
prices of goods could be a mixed bag. In the long run, once the benefitsof GST are expected to
kick in in terms of higher input credits and reduction in cascading effect, it is anticipated that the
inflationary effect will come down and prices, in general, would come down and stabilize.
In services, the tax rate has increased from 15% to 18%. The 3% increase could potentially
mean an increase in the price of services by 3% for the common man, in theshort run.

Late filing of GST Returns
Return filing is mandatory under GST. Even if there is no transaction, you mustfile a
Nil return.
You cannot file a return if you do not file previous month/quarter’s return.
Hence, late filing of GST return will have a cascading effect leading to heavy finesand
penalty.
The late filing fee of the GSTR-1 is populated in the liability ledger of GSTR-3Bfiled
immediately after such delay.
Interest/late fees to be paid
Interest is 18% per annum. It has to be calculated by the taxpayer on the amount of
outstanding tax to be paid. It shall be calculated on the Net tax liability identified in the
ledger at the time of payment. The time period will be from the next day of filing due
date till the actual date of payment.
As per GST Act Late fee is Rs. 100 per day per Act. So it is 100 under CGST & 100
under SGST. Total will be Rs. 200/day. The maximum is Rs. 5,000. There isno late fee
on IGST.

Conclusion
From the above discussion, it is clear that GST is basically an indirect tax that brings most of the
taxes imposed on most goods and services, on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and
services, under a single domain at the national level. In the present system, the taxes are levied
separately on goods and services. The GST is a consolidated tax based on a uniform rate of tax
fixed for both goods and services and it is payable at the final point of consumption. At each
stage of sale or purchase In thesupply chain, this tax Is collected on value added goods and
services, through a tax credit mechanism, introduction of the Value added Tax (VAT) at the
Central and the State level has been considered to be a major step — an important breakthrough
— in the sphere of indirect tax reforms in India. If the VAT is a major improvement over the pre
existing Central excise duty at the national level and the sales tax system at theState level, then
the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will indeed be a further significant improvement - the next
logical step - towards a comprehensive indirect tax reforms in the country. Once GST Is
Implemented, most of the current challenges of this move will be a story of the past. India will
become a single market where goods can move freely and there will lesser compliances to deal
with for businesses. The benefits of GST will definitely outweigh the disadvantages of GST.
In review this internship has been an excellent and a rewarding experience. I have been able to
meet and network with so many people and I hope I will be able to helpget
opportunities in the future.
68
One main thing that I have learned through this internship is time management skills as well as
self-motivation. When I first started I did not think that I was going to be able to make myself sit
in an office for eight hours a day, five days a week. Once I realized what I had to do I organized
my day and work so that I was not overlapping or wasting my hours. I learned that I needed to
be organized and have questions readyfor when it was the correct time to get feedback. From this
internship and time management I had to learn how to motivate myself through being in the
office for so many hours.
