RBI vide circular   dated October 28, 2015, issued to all  scheduled commercial banks, highlighted the irregularities observed.

TO BE ANSWERED ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2017 MAGHA 14, 1938 (SAKA)

## INDIRECT TAXES ON CONSUMERS

371: SHRI SADASHIV LOKHANDE

Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:

- (a) the  details  of  various  indirect  taxes  being  passed  on  to  the  consumers  by retailers;
- (b) whether the Government is aware that the burden of such type of taxation is passed on to the consumers;
- (c) whether the Government proposes to conduct any holistic study about effects of such taxation in order to reassess the current taxation; and
- (d) if so,  the details thereof and the steps taken in this regard?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)

(a  &  b). Central  Board  of  Excise  &  Customs  administers  three  indirect  taxes, namely, Customs Duty, Central Excise Duty and Service Tax.  The extent of passing of tax  burden  to  the  consumers  depends  on  a  variety  of  factors,  such  as,  supply  and demand etc.  Central  Excise  duty,  at  present,  at  the  rate  of  12.5%,  is  subsumed  in MRP and is legitimately passed on to the consumers by the retailers.  Service Tax, also at the rate of 14%, and Swachh Bharat Cess and Krishi Kalyan Cess, both at the rate of  0.5% each are charged from the consumers by the service providers, as a part of total cost of the service.  However, business consumers of Service Tax are allowed to claim credit of taxes on input services, input and capital goods, used in provision of output  services  subject  to  the  provisions  of  CENVAT  Credit  Rules,  2004,  but, individual consumers or non-business consumers cannot pass on the burden of tax because they do not provide any taxable output services. Customs duty, at prescribed rates, on imported goods paid by business consumers is also subsumed in the cost of goods to be sold to the consumers. However, such duty paid by individual consumers on imported goods for their personal use is to be borne by themselves.

Further  Indirect  Taxes  like  Sales  Tax/VAT  being  taxes  on  sale  or  purchase  of goods  are  purely  State  matter  by  virtue  of  Entry  54  in  List-II  (State  List)  Seventh Schedule  of  the  Constitution.  Therefore,  the  information  related  to  State  Taxes including Sales Tax/VAT is not centrally maintained.

(c & d). No Studies are being contemplated at present. *****************
