Indian Textile Industry Stands United Against GST Implementation On Fabric

30th June 2017 was indeed historic as India witnessed the biggest tax reform in 70 years of Independence. Goods and Service Tax is an indirect Tax applicable throughout India which cascaded multiple taxes levied by State and Central government, after 16 long years of discussion and debate on the pros and cons of GST Government of India gave a thumbs up to the bill and from 1st july 2017 28% Goods and Service Tax got implemented pan India.

A single tax will abolish the existing multiple taxes that differ from one state to another. Economists are predicting that the tax reform will change the way businesses are conducted in India and will bring about only good things to the country. Anything new comes with challenges, and Government is facing vehement protest against GST, sporadic yet effective.

Amidst of staging demonstration against GST from different sectors, the textile industry seems to be the most worked up, as under the new taxation system that was rolled out on July 1, it was decided that garments under Rs 1,000 would attract a five percent charge, while those above Rs 1,000 would attract a tax rate of 12%. Also, a five percent tax would be levied on fabric with no refund of unutilized input tax credit.

Indian Manmade Fibre (MMF) Industry In Jeopardy: Increased Imports And Esclated Cost Affects Industry

Working out tax rates for different goods and services was a huge challenge for India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council. Although the GST has taken under consideration a significant part of the industry - cotton and natural fibers, distortion has been introduced in the GST system, through the ‘inverted’ duty structure on man-made fibers. Man-made fiber and synthetic yarn attract an 18% GST rate as compared to 12% excise duty, while the fabric produced from these fibers is taxed at 5%. This creates a situation where the input is taxed at a much higher rate than the final product.
