INTRODUCTION TO TAXATION

Tax is a Latin word derived from the word “Taxo” meaning rate.

Tax is a financial charge levied by the government (central / state / local body)

for meeting the public expenditure like road, dams, army for safe guarding the

borders etc. the dictionary meaning of tax “A compulsory contribution to state

revenue, levied by the government on workers’ income and business profits, or

added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions: higher taxes will

dampen consumer spending”.


History of Taxation – Pre Medieval Period

➢ Where taxes collected during the ancient times?

❖References in Kautaliya’s ‘Arthashastra’

▪ “Ideally, government should collect taxes like honeybee, which sucks just the right amount of honey

from the flower so that both can survive.”

▪ Kautaliya believed that lower tax rates would not prompt tax evasion and taxes were levied on

manufacturing.

▪ Importance is given for manufacturing in the state and not for import of goods.

▪ Date of manufacturing is also mentioned on the products

❖ Ancient Sage Manu in his book Manu Smriti, discusses on taxation in very depth on how the

king should collect tax, why he should collect, how much tax should be collected.


History of Taxation – Medieval Period

➢ Also known as Delhi Sultanate Period

➢ Taxes were collected directly by the Mansabdars

➢ Separate tax department was established during Ala-udin-Khiliji


History of Taxation – During Pre Independence

➢ The British were able to excise control over India after the Battle of Baxur in 1764.

Fought between Mughul Emperor Shah Alam and Lord Clive.

➢ With the victory in Battle of Baxur, British were able to control directly 4 Lac Sq

Kms through East India Company and were granted rites to collect taxes.

➢ Central Excise is an indirect and inland tax on the sale, or production for sale of

specific goods, or a tax on a good produced for sale, or sold, within a country or

licenses for specific activities. The two basic principles for tax to be levied:

o The article should be good

o It should have come into existence on account of manufacturing.

o The definition for ‘goods’ is: an article that can be brought into the market for being sold or to

be purchased.

o In the all the above cases, the recipient has to pay cash, thereby impacting the

working capital



➢ Reversal of GST if the supplier is not paid within stipulated time

o This provision was there only for services in the current law

o Now extended to the goods also under GST

o On self assessment basis the list of invoices have to be identified and ITC Reversed

o ITC has to be reversed along with interest rate as specified from the date of claim

10,000 + GST

o Increase in taxes on imported materials – chemicals today the tax rate is around

14% to 16% (CVD + SAD) but under GST it will be IGST and most likely the tax

rate is 18% - increase of 2% but in absolute terms of working capital it is 15%

o What will happen to the current units setup in such areas or availing such schemes

have to re worked

o Examples – units setup in Uttarkand or Himachal or sales tax holiday for 5 years or
