GST Overview
It is important to have an overview of this taxation system !
Introduction to GST : Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax which was introduced in India on 1 July 2017 and was applicable throughout India which replaced multiple cascading taxes levied by the central and state governments. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at the following rates, 0%, 0.25%, 3%, 5%, 12% ,18% and 28%.
GST is the newly implemented tax structure of India.
Goods and Services Tax is intended to replace all the indirect taxes levied on goods and services by the Centre and States currently.
Hailed as one of the biggest tax reforms of the country, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) subsumes many indirect taxes which were imposed by Centre and State such as excise, VAT, and service tax. It is levied on both goods and services sold in the country.
GST is divided into three components :
1. the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST),
2. the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST),
3. the Inter State Goods and Services Tax (IGST)
CGST is a tax levied on Intra State supplies of both goods and services by the Central Government.
The CSGT will subsume the Central indirect taxes like the service tax, excise duty, additional customs duty, additional special excise duty.
SGST is a tax levied on Intra State supplies of both goods and services by the State Government.
SGST will subsume the State indirect taxes like VAT, entertainment tax, octroi and others.
IGST is a tax levied on all Inter-State supplies of goods and/or services.
IGST will be applicable on any supply of goods and/or services in both cases of import into India and export from India.
GST is a transparent tax and also reduce number of indirect taxes. Helps to remove multiple cascading effects of taxes and aiming at a goal of letting industry and the economy benefit as a whole.
eCommerce businesses are expected to benefit from GST because until recently, they suffered from the complex and multi-tier supply chain system involving a lot of paperwork, reporting and compliances. Since GST is going to remove complexities arising out of the multi-tier supply system, the resultant lesser paperwork and lesser compliances, will help e-commerce companies improve their efficiencies.
