GOODS AND SERIVCES TAX (GST )
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax that simplifies the taxation process in India. It promotes transparency, reduces the tax burden on consumers, and boosts economic compliance.
Overview of GST (Goods and Services Tax)
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. Introduced on 1st July 2017, GST replaced multiple cascading taxes levied by the central and state governments, such as VAT, service tax, excise duty, and more.
GST follows a "One Nation, One Tax" approach, simplifying the indirect tax structure and enhancing ease of doing business.
Key Features of GST
-
Unified Tax: Replaces multiple indirect taxes with a single tax system.
-
Dual Structure: Includes CGST, SGST, and IGST for central, state, and inter-state transactions.
-
Destination-Based Tax: Tax is collected at the point of consumption, not origin.
-
Value-Added Tax: Levied only on the value added at each stage of supply.
-
Input Tax Credit (ITC): Businesses can claim credit for tax paid on purchases.
