the cash flow is substantially eased due to the presence of Input set off system,
the Output GST liability is dischargeable only on collection basis i.e no collections, no tax payment which also means: payment of tax on collection basis albeit by taking advantage of the input credit available and in effect discharging the net tax liability.
imagine one situation where the expenses are allowed in profit and loss on a yearly basis i.e at the end of the year, further situation is even worse for capital asset items whrein the indirect tax component gets capitalized and thus cash flow easing out only on the basis of depreciation / amortization rate essentially linked to the life/ depreciation policy of the asset (typical examlples are :CVD component is generally allowed as set off, 50% Input credit on capital assets purchases. )
thus,
cash flows are really at ease with GST regime due to following :
1.immediate set off availability from current output tax obligations
2.better cash flow management from utilization of Input credit to honor output tax liability.
3. organisations having fast debtors turnover or good collection period can use the funds for a few days during month (typically in India the obliagation is dischargeable on 5th of the next month during which collection towards goods/ services are received, thus the GST becomes highly fungible for the invoices raises during 1st to 5th or 6th of the next month, the liability of which becomes due in next month only)
4. Manufacturing concerns can accumulate the Input credit and discharge as they receive collections and thus its a stress buster for working capital managers ( as i explained, imagine the entire expense getting capitalized / charged off to revenue and at the year end only being deductible, whereas in this GST regime you can claim input credit from your output GST obligation which itself is payable only on collection basis and getting that much part of expense immediately back!!)
in effect , GST regime is good qua cash flows (even though it adds to doing number juggleries!!)
