The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition made along the supply chain. It is now a single largest indirect tax levied within India on the supply of goods and services. GST advocates the charge of different tax heads such as Central GST, State GST/Union Territory (UT) GST or Integrated GST depending upon whether the supply is within or across the state/UT. Some of the advantages include a reduction of cascading effect, centralised filing portal, common e-waybill across the nation, reduced compliance when compared to the pre-GST tax regime, and smooth flow of input tax credit for the businesses.
