Understanding Goods and Services Tax (GST)

GST is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition. It has replaced many indirect taxes in India such as excise duty, VAT, services tax, etc. GST is a single domestic indirect tax law for the entire country.

Types of GST in India

There are four types of GST as explained below:

• CGST (Central GST): Collected by the Central Government on intra-state sales
• SGST (State GST): Collected by the State Government on intra-state sales
• IGST (Integrated GST): Collected by the Central Government for inter-state sales
• UTGST (Union Territory GST): Collected by union territories on intra-UT sales

1. 5% GST: Essential items like food grains, books, etc.
2. 12% GST: Processed foods, computers, etc.
3. 18% GST: Most goods and services fall in this category
