What is GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax implemented in India on the supply of goods and services. It replaced multiple indirect taxes such as VAT, service tax, excise duty, and sales tax to create a unified taxation system across the country.
GST is applied at every stage of the supply chain and is ultimately borne by the final consumer. The tax system is designed to improve transparency, reduce tax cascading, and simplify compliance for businesses.
GST is regulated by the Government of India and applies to most goods and services sold within the country.
