Before the present tax regime, there was the sales tax regime, where there was a cascading effect on tax. VAT has removed this burden, but it had deficiencies. The Cenvat load remains. There were several state taxes which were not subsumed in any one tax. The inter-state sales tax or CST was not fully relieved.

The greatest advantage of new GST regime is that it addresses fully the concern of tax cascading. Presently tax cascading is found in both- central and state taxes as the exempt sectors of economy (trade, oil etc) are not allowed to claim any cenvat credit of indirect taxes. It neither happens in excise duty nor in state value added tax. Also, on inter state sales, central sale tax (CST) is collected by the origin state for which no credit is allowed by any Government.
