In a nutshell, only value addition will be taxed and burden of tax is to be borne by the final consumer.
The tax came into effect from July 1, 2017 through the implementation of One Hundred and First Amendment of the Constitution of India by the Indian Government. The tax replaced existing multiple Central and State Government taxes.
The tax rates, rules and regulations are governed by the GST Council which consists of the finance minister of central and all the states. GST is meant to replace a slew of indirect taxes with a unified tax and is therefore expected to reshape the country’s 2.4 trillion dollar economy. GST tax rates vary from 0% – 28% depending on the type of service or Nature of Goods Your business is selling. The GST is paid by consumers, but it is remitted to the government by businesses selling goods and services. In effect, GST provides revenue for the government.
