Difference of Taxability:
Service Tax is a form of indirect tax imposed only on services provided. From the point of view of a layman, providing services means assistance in any work, taking up of any work on behalf of others, any professional assignment or rendering intangible benefits to others.
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a form of indirect tax imposed only on goods sold within a particular state, which essentially means that the buyer and the seller needs to be in the same state. Only when tangible goods and products are sold, VAT can be imposed.
CST (Central Sales Tax) ) is a form of indirect tax imposed only on goods sold from one state to another state, which particularly takes into account that the buyer and the seller needs to be in two different states.

*SEED FUNDING TAX TO BE REMOVED*
Why in News?
~Recently, government has decided to scrap the tax on seed funding by angel investors, which has been identified as a major impediment for entrepreneurs to get domestic funds.
Need?
. Finance Act 2013, introduced a tax on seed capital provided to start-ups by local angel investors.
. India is the only country in the world to penalize local angel investors in such a manner.
. The existing tax norms view the funding as income, which takes away nearly 30 percent of the value of investments, so this would improve cash flow a lot.
Benefits?
. It will help in easing up the process to start up and doing business in the country.
. According to certain estimates around 65 percent of the startups have moved out of India due to uncertain taxation. This move is aimed at preventing the exodus of startups from the country due to difficulties in doing business.
. It will also help in ensuring transparency, simplification and predictability in tax structure.
. It will improve the cash flow for the startups which will help them in their initial setup.
. It will encourage the local angel investors to invest in startups. Presently, 90 per cent of Indian start-ups are financed by foreign venture capital and angel funds.
. It will also ensure equal treatment of local investors with respect to foreign investors.
What is Seed Funding (Capital)?
. It is the initial capital used to start a business. It is provided to help a business develop an idea, create the first product, and market the product for the first time.
. Seed capital is needed to get most businesses off the ground. It is considered a high-risk investment, but one that can reap major rewards if the company becomes a growth enterprise.
Who is angel investor?
. An angel investor or angel is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity

*STRANDED CARBON*
Why in news?
A London-based energy think tank has warned that fossil fuel producers across the world are wasting up to US $ 2.2 trillion after 2020 by investing in projects that could hinder world's fight against climate change. This is because much of to be discovered fossil fuel would remain unused because of the carbon budget.
What is stranded carbon?
It refers to fossil fuel energy resources that cannot be burnt if the world is to adhere to a given carbon budget. Therefore some of proven reserves of fossil fuels will never be burnt and will remain stranded.
How much Stranded Carbon?
Within the 2°C target; we only have about 1,100 Giga Tonnes (gt) of carbon dioxide (CO2) that can still be emitted. Current proven reserves of fossil fuels are about 812 billion tonnes of oil equivalent (oil, gas and coal). Just burning all these proven reserves (not counting contingent reserves or those yet to be discovered) would generate about 2,512 gt of CO2 equivalent emissions. Thus no more than 40 per cent of the existing proven reserves of fossil fuels can ever be burnt. Probably even less, as some of the carbon budget will be taken by non-fossil fuel applications like agriculture.
Implications:
The Middle East would need to leave about 40% of its oil and 60% of its gas underground The majority of the huge coal reserves in China, Russia and the United States would have to remain unused Undeveloped resources of unconventional gas, such as shale gas, would be off limits in Africa and the Middle East, and very little could be exploited in India and China Unconventional oil, such as Canada's tar sands, would be unviable.
