What is Goods and Services tax ?

GST is a Value added Tax (VAT) and is proposed to be a comprehensive indirect tax levy on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods as well as services at the national level.

It will replace all indirect taxes levied on goods and services by the Indian Central and State governments.

It is an indirect tax for the whole nation , which will make India one unified common market.

  Understanding GST – 5 Easy Steps

1. GST (Goods & Services Tax), a single unified indirect tax system aims at uniting India’s complex taxation structure to a ‘One Nation- One Tax’ regime.

2. It will be levied on all supplies with seamless flow of credit (for both goods &  services) till it reaches the end consumer

3. Only value addition will be taxed and burden of tax is to be borne by the final consumer.

4. GST would replace indirect taxes

5. Central Excise Duty

• CVD & SAD
• CST & VAT
• Entry Tax & Octroi
• Surcharges & Cess
• Service Tax

Benefits of GST

• GST will be beneficial to all segments alike- business and industry, central and state governments, the ultimate consumer and the bank as whole.
• Under GST, there would be only one tax from the manufacturer to the consumer, leading to transparency of taxes paid to the final consumer.
• Proper credit mechanism would be incorporated in the accounting itself which will avoid any kind of conflicts
• What makes GST an important tax reform is it simplifies the tax structure, increases tax compliance,  increases govt revenue and integrates states.
• With the implementation of GST, the indirect tax system (excise, state-level VAT, service tax) is  expected to evolve. This will bring with it plenty of opportunities. A single tax would replace multiple taxes.
• Because of prevention of leakages, the overall tax burden on most commodities will come down, which will benefit consumers
