Financial
services
Shift from central tax to now both central & state tax
Difficulty in determining place of supply
Exemption to Interest?
Real Estate
Reduction in multiple taxes currently imposed
No specific valuation provision (deduction of land orabatement or composition) prescribed for constructioncontract or sale of under-construction property
Logistics Redundancy of multiple warehousing and hence change inservice model

Sector Impact
47
Transformation in to single ‘Indian Common Market’ leading to supply chain efficiency & economies of scale,
Reduction in compliance cost on simplification of tax structure and uniform returns/ procedure. Reduction in cash economy

Higher tax incidence on Services due to rate increase on dual GST
Trading will have dual GST necessitating review of trade margins
Overall Impact of GST on Trade & Industry
