What is GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax imposed in the supply of goods and services in India. Replacing all the indirect taxes in India, from 1st July 2017 GST has come up as a single taxation system in the country. GST is a destination, comprehensive and multi-stage based tax imposed on every value addition. In the budget session in the year 2017, the GST Act was passed by the Central Government which was further approved by the Parliament on March 29Th, 2017. Some of the indirect taxes that are abolished are VAT, Central Excise Duty, Octroi and Entry Tax.
The goods and services tax are divided into five different tax rates i.e. 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Nevertheless, there are some products which are not taxed under GST such as alcoholic drinks, petroleum and electricity. The individual state government implies tax on these products based on the previous tax regime. In order to get registered under GST, the large and small organization requires having GST identification number. In case of any transaction of any kind of sales within inter-states, integrated GST is charged. In case of any kind of sales made intra-state then central GST, as well as State GST, is imposed.
What is the Different Tax Heads Under GST?
GST is categorized under four different heads. Let’s take a look at the different types of GST collected by Government.
- Central GST: Collected by the Central Government.
- State GST: Collected by State Government.
- Union Territory GST: Collected by Union Territory Government.
- Integrated GST: Collected by the Central Government for imports and inter-state transaction.
Integrated Goods and Services Tax is imposed for interstate supplies where the location of the supplier is in a different state as compared to the place of supply. An equal rate of SGST and CGST which is around half the rate of GST is applicable as IGST for intrastate supply wherein the location of supplier and place of supply is in the same state.
