- Organization and time management skills. Tax slabs, filing taxes, keeping track of deadlines, keeping your eyes open for new notifications, scheduling, and planning all require good organization and time management skills.

GST, The Goods And Services Tax That Is Good And Simple
The One Nation One Market, One Tax, is an excellent step towards transformation and transparency. It is a step in the direction of curtailing corruption and reinforcing an anti-corrupt system in India. With uniformity in taxes, the small and medium businesses who are the nation’s strength, will gain tremendously. A tax reform like none other, the Goods and Services Tax allows every state in India to be self-sufficient yet interdependent and strengthens the trust between the Center and the states.
Hailing national policies higher than politics, the Goods and Services Tax is a disruptive move to end tax terrorism. Anything disruptive creates chaos initially until the process is streamlined. In that sense, disruptive is almost always a positive change. It is a move to adapt, a move to betterment of a process. Likewise, the Goods and Services Tax implementation has brought with it immense opportunities.
While the naysayers keep projecting it as a mirage, it is the magic tool obliterating the cascading effects of taxation, bringing uniformity in tax rates and procedures across states. With its inception on July 01, 2017, the Goods and Services Tax is the result of a nation trapped in the net of the archaic taxation system looking for the need to simplify things with a flatter tax structure.
At the central level, the GST replaces Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, Additional Excise Duty, Additional Customs Duty, or Countervailing Duty. At the state level, it replaces the Entertainment Tax, Central Sales Tax, Octroi and Entry Tax, Purchase Tax, Luxury Tax, VAT, and also taxes on lottery, betting, and gambling. (can have diagrammatic representation).
The Indian Finance Ministry has even proclaimed a doubling of the taxpayer base and reduced tax rates since implementation. Providing stability in inflation rates, this consumer and taxpayer-friendly tax promotes Foreign Direct Investment.
The transparent and digitized taxation structure of GST is our hope for a brighter economy.
GST is Not New
The Goods and Services Tax is not as new as it appears to be. In fact, if we take the global scenario, it dates back to 1954 in France (the first country to implement it). Thereafter, many European countries introduced it in 1970-80s. Japan (1989), Malaysia (2015), Australia (2000), Singapore (1994), and Canada (1991) already have the GST in place.
Canada has a dual model like in India, the State GST, and Central GST. It is a comprehensive tax subsuming many indirect taxes, multistage tax as it is applicable in all production steps, and a destination-based tax as it is levied at the point of consumption and not origin.
Why Do We Need GST?
The Goods and Services Tax is a bold reform resulting in a complete overhaul of the taxation system in India. With the implementation of GST, virtually all goods and services are taxable with some exemptions. The impacts are direct on the tax structure, tax incidence, payment, compliance, tax computation, etc.
- For Citizens: It is a more straightforward tax system. The integration of multiple taxes brings about a reduction in the prices of goods and services. There is transparency in the taxation system with uniformity of prices across the nation. It has also created many job opportunities.
- For Business/Industries: It has brought about mitigation and reduction in multiplicity of taxes, neutralization of taxes for exports, a simpler tax regime with fewer rate slabs and exemptions.
- For Government, both State and Central: It has brought into fruition a unified common national market, an impetus to the manufacturing activity, boost to foreign investment, and improved economy. There is less tax evasion now and also a reduction in compliance costs.
All You Need To Know About Becoming A GST Practitioner
As of November 2020, there are 1.28 Cr registered taxpayers under the GST regime. With so many businesses registered, it is a no-brainer that the GST practitioner careers are on the rise. Not all business people have the time or skills to learn the process and procedure and go about it. Inevitably the demand for practitioners who can handle all the goods and services taxes is high.
A GST Practitioner has the approval from the state and central government to perform the tax-related activities on behalf of other people and is also registered on the GSTN portal. Any individual conforming to certain basic conditions such as being an Indian citizen, of sound mind, not insolvent, nor convicted, can become a practitioner.
As a practitioner, you can examine the list of taxpayers, provide details of inward and outward supplies, and provide the monthly, quarterly, and annual returns on behalf of your clients. As a practitioner, you are empowered to apply for a refund, make changes in the profiles of clients, generate e-way bills, etc.
The prerequisites to enrolling for a practitioner on the GST portal are having a valid PAN card, mobile number, and valid email id. A professional address and other prescribed documents and of utmost importance, satisfying the eligibility criteria are also mandatory.
Once you satisfy the eligibility criteria, have all the documentation required, you must ensure you have complete knowledge of GST. The best way to do that is to take up a course be thorough with the curriculum. You may also choose to learn from online materials or books but taking up a good course is most recommended and beneficial.
The Process To Become A GSTP
The GSTP exam is conducted across India at designated centers biannually. While the exam date is not flexible, it is notified by NACIN, and available on the portal, individuals can undoubtedly choose the center.
The examination itself is computer-based, and the declaration of the result is within a month. A score of at least 50% will ensure you pass the GSTP exam. After enrolment, you have two years to complete the exam. You can appear and attempt the exam multiple times within two years.
Of note, the GSTP license is valid till canceled, but like all job profiles, you need to keep yourself updated, and the GSTP license also requires you to pass the exam by GST authorities.
Right now is an excellent time to make a career as a Goods and Services Tax Practitioner.
