GST is India's comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services across the entire nation, which replaced multiple cascading taxes (VAT, Excise, Service Tax) on July 1, 2017. It operates under a dual structure: intra-state sales split the tax equally into Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST), while inter-state sales attract Integrated GST (IGST).
A foundational pillar of GST is Input Tax Credit (ITC). Businesses can offset the GST paid on purchases (raw materials, software, rent) against the output GST collected on final sales. This eliminates the 'tax-on-tax' cascading effect. For exact billing, standard GST slabs in India are: 5% (essentials, packaged food), 12% (medical supplies, processed food), 18% (IT services, financial services, telecom, most manufactured goods), and 28% (luxury items, automobiles, aerated drinks).
