Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services.
GST is a single, destination-based tax that replaced multiple indirect taxes such as excise duty, VAT, octroi, and service tax. By taxable event on value addition at each stage, it eliminates the cascading tax effect (tax-on-tax), simplifying compliance and making logistics smoother.
CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) are levied on intra-state transactions (within the same state) and split equally. IGST (Integrated GST) is levied on inter-state transactions and collected by the central government.
Input Tax Credit allows a business to reduce the GST paid on purchases from the GST liability it collects on sales, effectively taxing only the value added at that stage.
Businesses with aggregate turnover exceeding specified thresholds (e.g. ₹40 Lakhs for goods and ₹20 Lakhs for services in India) must register and file GST returns.
