Complete Solution - Documentation, Filing, Approval
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax (or consumption tax) used in India on the supply of goods and services. It is a comprehensive, multistage, destination-based tax: comprehensive because it has subsumed almost all the indirect taxes except a few state taxes. Multi-staged as it is, the GST is imposed at every step in the production process, but is meant to be refunded to all parties in the various stages of production other than the final consumer and as a destination-based tax, it is collected from point of consumption and not point of origin like previous taxes.

GST Overview and Concept
Once you have registered under this regime, you will receive a unique GSTIN (Goods and Service Tax Identification Number). The Central Government issues a state-wise, 15-digit number to you once you complete registration.

The tax is levied on goods and services sold within India’s domestic boundary for consumption. Implemented by a majority of nations worldwide with respective customisations, the tax has been successful in simplifying the indirect taxation structure of India.
GST is levied on the final market price of goods and services manufactured internally, thereby reflecting the maximum retail price. Customers are required to pay this tax on a purchase of goods or services as an inclusion in their final price. Collected by the seller, it is then required to be paid to the government, thus implying the indirect incidence.
The GST rates on different goods and services are uniformly applied across the country. Goods and services have, however, been categorised under different slab rates for tax payment. While luxury and comfort goods are categorised under higher slabs, necessities have been included in lower and nil slab rates. The main aim of this classification is to ensure uniform distribution of wealth among residents of India.
What are the components of GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) contains three components applicable, basis the centre, the state and integrated levy. They are as follows –
CGST – Central Goods and Services Tax is collected by the central government on sales conducted intra-state.
SGST – State Goods and Services Tax is collected by the state government on the sale of goods and services within a particular state as well.
IGST – The central government collects Integrated Goods and Services Tax on sales affected inter-state.
Here’s an example to help you understand the levy, collection and share of revenue between the state and the central government in India.
A seller in Rajasthan sells goods worth Rs. 1 lakh to a buyer in the same state. The tax rate applicable to the goods is 12%, comprising 6% of CGST and 6% of SGST. The total GST of Rs. 12,000 collected will be shared between the centre and the state at Rs. 6,000 each as the sale is made intra-state.
The same seller sold goods worth Rs. 50,000 from Rajasthan to Gujrat The tax rate applicable to these goods was 18%. The seller will thus charge IGST of Rs. 9,000 from the buyer due to it being an inter-state sale. The tax so collected will be submitted to the central government.
Once submitted, the tax will be shared by the central government and state government based on the supply of goods made. For the ease of tax collection, the government has made the entire system for the payment of GST online.
The GST tax structure in India is divided into different rate slabs applicable for various goods and services divided accordingly. Following is the Goods and Services Tax (GST)structure in the India.
- Exempted goods (No tax applicable)
- 0.25% rate slab
- 5% rate slab
- 12% rate slab
- 18% rate slab
- 28% rate slab
Goods and services tax at the highest rate slab is further divided into items with cess and items without cess. An important point to be kept in mind is that all entrepreneurs need to state the HSN code (Harmonized System of Nomenclature), which is a six-digit unique number assigned to respective goods and is accepted worldwide.

Input Tax Credit (ITC) under GST
An Input Tax credit means that when a business person or a trader is paying tax on output, he/she can reduce the tax already paid on input (purchase).
For example, in the case of a manufacturer selling the final product, the output tax stands at Rs. 500. However, he already paid Rs. 200 as input tax while purchasing the product. He can thus receive an ITC of Rs. 200 on the final product and needs to pay only the difference of Rs. 300 , i.e., Rs. 500 – Rs. 200 to the government as Goods and Service Tax (GST).
ITC can be claimed only by businesses registered under the Goods and Services Tax Act. Also, all respective suppliers must be registered under the act for you to be eligible to avail ITC.
