Overview of GST Registration in India
The Goods and Services Tax (GST), implemented on 1st July 2017, is considered the biggest tax reform in independent India. By replacing a complex web of indirect taxes such as VAT, excise duty, and service tax, GST introduced the concept of “One Nation, One Tax”. Its aim was to simplify the tax system, increase transparency, reduce cascading effects of multiple taxes, and create a unified national market.
Turnover Criteria
- For Goods: Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for special category states).
- For Services: Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for special category states).
Key Characteristics of GST:
- Single tax system replacing multiple indirect taxes.
- Dual structure – levied by both the Centre (CGST) and States (SGST) for intra-state supply.
- Integrated GST (IGST) for inter-state supply and imports.
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) mechanism reduces tax-on-tax (cascading effect).
- Multiple rate slabs (0%, 5%, 18%, and 40%).
Issuing Authority of GST in India
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India is administered and regulated by the Goods and Services Tax Council (GST Council) at the policy-making level and implemented by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) along with respective State GST departments.
