What is GST?

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax introduced to unify India’s fragmented tax system. Enforced on 1st July 2017, GST replaced various indirect taxes such as VAT, service tax, and excise duty. It applies to the supply of goods and services across India and follows a destination-based model—where tax is collected at the point of consumption.
