What is GST?

GST is a big step towards improving India's tax system. Excise and service taxes are indirect tax laws. GST is an integrated tax covering both goods and services. With the introduction of GST, the entire country is transformed into a unified market and indirect taxes such as central consumption tax, service tax, value added tax, entertainment, luxury and lottery tax are included in GST. This is subject to the same type of indirect tax throughout India.

India's previous tax system was very complex. According to the Indian Constitution, in the past, the central government has the right to impose taxes on state government production and goods and services, mainly for the sale of goods. As a result, various types of taxes have been applied in the country in the past, and the current tax system has become very complex. It is difficult for companies and SMEs to comply with different tax laws in the past, but with the introduction of GST, the same type of indirect tax occurs throughout the country, so businessmen buy goods and services that purchase the full amount of GST. Can be used to pay GST for products and services sold. This is only a tax on value enhancement, which eliminates tax on tax and reduces costs.
