What is GST?

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a consumption tax implemented in many countries, including India. It replaces various indirect taxes with a unified tax structure and simplifies tax compliance.

GST is levied on the supply of goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. It is a tax, where businesses collect GST on their sales and claim credit for the GST paid on their purchases.

Objectives of GST

GST has been implemented in the taxation system by replacing multiple indirect taxes with one tax. Its objective is to create a transparent tax structure, promote ease of business operation, and reduce tax evasion.

It eliminates multiple tax systems in a country and creates a more efficient and simpler tax system. Also, it reduces paperwork, promotes economic growth, simplifies tax operations, increases revenue collection, and contributes to a sustainable economy.

What is the Add GST Formula?

GST Amount = ( Original Price x GST Rate% ) ÷100

Total Price = Original Price + GST Amount.

What is the Remove GST Formula?

GST Amount = Original Price – [Original Price x { 100 ÷ (100 + GST Rate%)}]

Total Price = Original Cost – GST Amount.

What is Inclusive GST?

Inclusive GST refers to pricing where the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is already included in the price of a product or service. This means that the cost displayed covers both the actual price and applicable GST, and you do not need to pay GST separately.

What is Exclusive GST?

Exclusive GST is a goods and services tax (GST) that is separate from the base price of a product or service. Therefore, when a price does not include GST, it means that the GST amount will be added separately to the displayed price.

What are the 4 Types of GST in India?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented in India on 1 July 2017. It comes in the following four types.

1. Central GST (CGST): It is levied by the Central Government and applies to the inter-state supply of goods and services.
2. State GST (SGST): State GST is levied by the state government and the revenue is collected from the concerned state. SGST applies to inter-state transactions, like within the borders of a specific state.
3. Integrated GST (IGST): IGST is levied on the inter-state supply of goods and services within a country.
4. Union Territory GST (UTGST): In countries with union territories, a separate GST (UTGST) is levied. UTGST is similar to SGST but applies in Union Territories instead of States. The revenue collected from UTGST goes to the concerned Union Territory government.

GST Registration Threshold in India

The GST threshold is based on the annual turnover of a business. For example, in India, the GST registration threshold is Rs 40 lakh for goods and Rs 20 lakh for services.

Therefore, businesses with an annual turnover of less than Rs. 40 lakh people are not required to register for GST, but they can voluntarily choose to register for GST, and it is beneficial for businesses to get input tax credits and other benefits.
