India is going through one of the major reform in tax system since independence i.e. Goods & Service Tax(GST). GST GST will replace 17 indirect tax levies and compliance costs will fall. The GST regime seeks to subsume the following taxes into a single one:
Taxes levied by Central Govt. : Central Exercise. Service Tax.Service Tax.Central Surcharges.Central Cesses.
Taxes levied by State Govt. : VAT/Sales Tax. Entertainment Tax.Luxury Tax.State Taxes and Cesses.
To start with, Now Govt has started existing assessee registration with GST authorities. Different time slots have been given to different areas so that there may not be undue traffic on the GST Portal.
