What Is GST?

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is India’s unified indirect tax system introduced in July 2017. It replaced multiple taxes like VAT, excise duty, and service tax with one streamlined tax regime. GST follows a destination-based model, applies to the supply of goods and services at every stage, and allows input tax credit, eliminating the old tax-on-tax effect.
