Goods And Service Tax Payment

The GST Tax is a single tax that has replaced all other indirect tax forms in India.

The Goods and Service Tax simply referred to as the GST in India, is a uniform, indirect tax introduced by the Government of India in March 2017. It came into effect on July 1, 2017. The GST was introduced to replace most other indirect taxes in India, such as the VAT, service tax, excise duty, and so on.

The Government of India levies the GST tax on the supply of all kinds of products you can purchase and services you can avail of in the Indian public and private domains. It is essentially a multi-stage, comprehensive, destination-based tax levied on value-added services.

How does GST work?

With the introduction of the Goods & Service Tax, the Government of India replaced the previous indirect tax regime and introduced a single tax. Under GST, every state follows the same tax rate for a particular product purchased or service availed. The tax rate is determined by the Central Government and helps make the tax administration easy. Now, instead of paying taxes at multiple stages in the supply chain, Indian taxpayers can pay a one-time GST at the end of the supply chain.

GST Components

The Goods & Service Tax comprises of three taxes now subsumed or absorbed by the Government under one umbrella. These include:

  • The CGST or the tax collected by the Indian Central Government on intra-state sales, for instance, a transaction is occurring within Maharashtra borders.
  • The SGST or the tax collected by each Indian State Government on intra-state sales, for instance, a transaction is occurring within Maharashtra borders.
  • The IGST or the tax collected by the Indian State Government on an inter-state sale, for instance, a transaction occurring in Maharashtra to Karnataka.

With the new regime of GST, the Centre and States share the revenue equally on sales with the state. As for inter-state sales, the Government now levies only one type of tax, the central tax. The Centre then shares the IGST revenue, depending on the destination of goods.
