In Tax Registration

GST is a comprehensive indirect tax levy subsuming all central and state levies. GST is a destination based consumption tax levied on supply of goods and services. It is proposed to be levied at all stages right from manufacture up to the final consumption with credit of taxes paid at all previous stages.

GST is implemented from 1 st July, 2017 and the sellers who have registered themselves with the state VAT/CST or Service Tax laws is required to migrate their existing registrations into the GST regime.

India has adopted a dual GST model where Central and State Governments will simultaneously levy GST on a common tax base. On intra-state supply of goods and services, Central GST ('CGST') and State GST ('SGST') will be levied. CGST will be levied and administered by Central Government whereas SGST will be levied and administered by State Government. Similarly, Integrated GST (IGST) will be levied on every inter-State supply of goods and services (including import) by the Central Government.

Advantages of GST:

Easy compliance

A robust and comprehensive IT system would be the foundation of the GST regime in India. Therefore, all tax payer services such as registrations, returns, payments, etc. would be available to the taxpayers online.

Removal of cascading

A system of seamless tax-credits throughout the value-chain, and across boundaries of States, would ensure that there is minimal cascading of taxes.

Uniformity of tax rates and structures

GST will ensure that indirect tax rates and structures are common across India, thereby increasing certainty and ease of doing business.

Improved competitiveness

Reduction in transaction costs of doing business would eventually lead to an improved competitiveness for the trade and industry.

Gain to manufacturers and exporters:

The subsuming of major Central and State taxes in GST, complete and comprehensive set-off of input goods and services and phasing out of Central Sales Tax (CST) would reduce the cost of locally manufactured goods and services. The uniformity in tax rates and procedures across India will also go a long way in reducing the compliance cost.
