GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a consumption-based tax levied on the supply of goods and services. It is designed to replace multiple indirect taxes, such as VAT, excise duty, and service tax, with a single unified tax system. GST is applied at each stage of the supply chain, and businesses can claim input tax credits on the tax paid on purchases, reducing the overall tax burden.
Key Features of GST:
Multi-stage Tax – Imposed at every stage of the supply chain.
Input Tax Credit (ITC) – Businesses can claim credit for taxes paid on inputs.
Destination-based Tax – Tax is collected by the state where goods/services are consumed.
Dual GST Structure – In countries like India, there are two components:
- CGST (Central GST) – Collected by the central government.
- SGST (State GST) / UTGST (Union Territory GST) – Collected by state/UT governments.
- IGST (Integrated GST) – Applied on interstate transactions.
GST Types:
- CGST & SGST/UTGST – For intra-state transactions.
- IGST – For inter-state transactions and imports/exports.
Advantages of GST:
- Eliminates cascading tax effects (tax on tax).
- Simplifies the tax structure.
- Enhances compliance and transparency.
- Boosts economic growth by reducing tax barriers.
