What is GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax levied on every value addition in India. Introduced on July 1, 2017, GST replaced multiple indirect taxes like Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, VAT, and others. It is governed by the GST Council and applies to the supply of goods and services across India.
GST is structured as a dual tax model where both the Central and State governments collect tax on goods and services. The three components are CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax) collected by the Central Government, SGST (State Goods and Services Tax) collected by the State Government, and IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) for inter-state transactions, which is collected by the Central Government and later distributed to the destination state.
Every business with a turnover exceeding the prescribed threshold limit must register for GST and file regular returns. GST has simplified the tax structure by creating a unified national market, eliminating the cascading effect of taxes, and making compliance easier through a digital-first approach. The GST portal (gst.gov.in) serves as the single point for registration, return filing, and payment.
