GST = (CIF + CD + Surcharge + Ex.Spl.Duty +Cess) x 12.5%<br />
= (100 + 10 + 10 + 0 + )) x 12.5<br />
100<br />
= 15<br />
and NSL = (CIF + CD) x 1.25 x 6.5%<br />
= (100 + 10) 125 x 6.5<br />
100 100<br />
= 8.93<br />
and the effective rate = 15 + 8.93 = 23.93%<br />
(c) When the Cus<strong>to</strong>ms Duty is = 35%, it can be seen that, GST = 18.12,<br />
NSL = 10.96 and therefore the effective rate is 29.08%<br />
(d) Under the <strong>VAT</strong> regime <strong>to</strong>o <strong>VAT</strong> payable on imports can be calculated when CD =<br />
10%, 25% or 35% by using the formula<br />
<strong>VAT</strong> = (CIF + CD+ Ex.Spl.Duty + Cess) 10% or 20% as the case may be<br />
the relevant values are given in the following table in respect of goods for which<br />
excise (Special Provisions) Duty and Cess Duty are not applicable.<br />

v. <strong>VAT</strong> Rates<br />
Subject <strong>to</strong> few exceptions<br />
• 20% rate has been fixed for the goods which were earlier liable <strong>to</strong> both GST (12.5%) and<br />
NSL (6.5%) such as telecommunication services, electrical goods, mo<strong>to</strong>r vehicles,<br />
• 10% rate has been fixed for goods which were earlier liable either only <strong>to</strong> GST (eg.<br />
Supply of electricity, leasing and transport) or only <strong>to</strong> NSL (Eg. Bread, Milk, Sugar)<br />
• Introduction of only one indirect tax (<strong>VAT</strong>) instead of two taxes (GST & NSL) in respect of<br />
the same transaction has simplified <strong>to</strong> some extent the tax base and the tax structure<br />
relating <strong>to</strong> indirect taxes administered by the CGIR.<br />
