  • Information

    The Goods and Services Tax Bill

  • The Goods and Services Tax is a comprehensive, indirect tax on the manufacture, sale and consumption of goods, paid by the consumer - the last person in the supply chain.

  • Features

    Highlights of the Goods and Services Tax

    Highlights of the Goods and Services Tax
  • The Goods and Services Tax Bill is best known for eliminating the multiplicity of taxes, rates, exemptions and exceptions.

    It achieves a uniformity in taxes across territories, regardless of place of manufacture or distribution.

    The GST will ensure tax compliance throughout the country.

    It will also lead to an improvement in the international cost competitiveness of native goods and services.

  • Benefits

    Impacts of the GST on Corporates and the Economy

    Impacts of the GST on Corporates and the Economy
  • The GST will reduce the average tax burden and production costs incurred by companies.

    This will benefit the corporates as the exports will become more competitive.

    It will also simplify tax structure, broaden the tax base and create a common market across states.

    This will lead to an increase in tax compliance and will increase India's tax to gross domestic product ratio.
