Implemented on 1st July 2017, GST i.e. Goods and Service Tax is a multi-stage tax system that aims to comprehensively replace and consolidate all indirect taxation systems in India, like VAT (Value Added Tax) and more. The seeds of its conception were sown in 2000, by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the then Prime Minister of India. Earlier, there used to be different tax regimes, varying state-wise. Under the current system, there are 4 categories of GST, namely Central GST, which is levied on intra-state supply of products and services, State GST, which is charged on intra-state sale of the same, Integrated GST, which is calculated on inter-state transactions and UTGST, which is levied on supply of goods and services within an UT. Under the GST system, each taxpayer is allocated a 15-digit distinctive code, namely GSTIN, which is provided based on the state you live in and your PAN card number. As per rules, any business with an annual turnover of Rs 20 lakhs or more should be registered under this system. The taxation rates are determined by the GST council in predetermined slabs, namely 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. Some products are also exempted from this list. More
