A Workable Plan: Filling in GST Revenue Shortages Without Sudden Rate Increases
Concerns about measurement and falling below the measured revenue neutral rate (RNR) have been voiced by public finance commentators, including the Reserve Bank of India and the 15th Finance Commission, regarding the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation rate structure.

A number of rate reductions have the RNR, which is also expected to boost overall revenue growth, in order to shield state governments from the shock of losing the guaranteed State-Goods and Services Tax (SGST) revenue.
Concerns
about assessment and falling below the measured income neutral rate (RNR) have
been voiced by public finance commentators, including the Reserve Bank of India
and the 15th Financial management Commission, about the Goods and Services Tax
(GST) implementation rate structure.
A number of
rate reductions have occurred over time in response to the economic stimulus.
The main strategy is to promptly restore the RNR, which is also expected to
boost overall revenue growth, in order to shield state governments from the
shock of losing the guaranteed State-Goods and Services Tax (SGST) revenue.
Theory of
Consumption Markets
These
variables exhibit a counter-relationship beyond a certain point, and the
threshold itself varies according to consumption-demand dynamics and demand's
sensitivity to price. Second, variations in the consumption graph continuously
affect the RNR, which is not a constant value.
The market
for consumption is extremely dynamic and in more flux right now than it has
ever been. As a member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council,
Sanjeev Sanyal correctly pointed out that the goal of reducing the GST rates
and tax structure is to increase tax revenue while minimizing its negative
effects on the economy, not to raise or decrease the average level of taxation.
It is
critical to prevent further indirect taxes that could further lower overall
demand in a scenario where consumption is leveraged and the RBI is increasing
the risk of depending on unsecured loans.

Enhancement
of GST Compliance
It has been
demonstrated throughout the world that enhancing compliance and broadening the
tax base are more appropriate strategies for raising revenue than depending
only on tax rates. As a destination-based consumption tax, the GST seeks to
create a "output effect" and restrict taxation to the value added at
each stage.

It is anticipated that until revenue is actually
impacted, an upright cycle of incremental value creation will permit a progressive
reduction in tax rates.
Increase in
GST Revenues
Following
an initial period of low collection exacerbated by the pandemic, compliance has
steadily improved in an economy that is rapidly formalizing, leading to an
acceleration of GST revenues in recent years.
With a
2.71% ratio, the SGST to state GSDP ratio (excluding compensation) in FY23 was
still lower than the pre-GST year FY17 (2.88%) and the FY13 (3.28%) revenue
from taxes included in GST.

This
illustrates the rationale behind the allocation of a substantial amount of 8.2
trillion rupees, or 10% of total revenue, to the states as compensation between
FY18 and FY23.
The
decrease in revenue can be ascribed to reduced GDP growth, difficulties within
the framework, and the implementation of the GST.
In
actuality, the growth of GST revenue is plateauing, and given the state of the
economy, it appears unlikely that the revenue gap will be closed anytime soon.
Due to the
reduction of appropriate central permissions, several states are once again
experiencing revenue deficits, with some facing even greater gaps.
Addressing
the structural obstacles with GST and putting an end to revenue theft should be
the next steps. Anticipating more indirect tax revenue from the GST in an
economy that is currently having trouble would be foolish.
