Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India?
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition. Its primary purpose is to subsume various indirect taxes, simplify the tax structure, reduce the cascading effect of taxes, and create a common national market.
How is GST calculated on goods and services?
GST is calculated on the transaction value of goods or services. The applicable GST rate (which can be 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28% for different categories) is applied to this value. For intra-state transactions, CGST and SGST are levied, while for inter-state transactions, IGST is applied.
What are the different components of GST in India?
The main components of GST in India are Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), State Goods and Services Tax (SGST), Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST), and Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (UTGST) for UTs without a legislature, along with a GST Cess on certain goods.
Who is required to register for GST?
Businesses involved in the supply of goods or services generally need to register for GST if their aggregate turnover exceeds a prescribed threshold limit (which varies for goods and services, and for normal category states vs. special category states). Voluntary registration is also possible.
What is the significance of state-wise GST collection data?
State-wise GST collection data provides insights into the economic activity and consumption patterns within individual states and union territories. It helps governments monitor revenue performance, identify areas of growth or decline, and inform policy decisions regarding fiscal management and resource allocation among states.
