Everything you must know about GST
GST is divided into three different types,
- CGST - Central Goods and Service Tax
- SGST/UTGST- State Goods and Service Tax/Union Territory Goods and Service Tax
- IGST- Integrated Goods and Service Tax
CGST is levied by Central Govt. of India on transaction of the products, tax taking place within a state. It has replaced all the existing central taxes including custom duty, central excise duty, service tax, etc. Usually CGST rate is equal to the SGST rate. Taxes are charged on the base price of the goods and services.
SGST is levied by the State Govt. where the products are being sold or purchased within state. SGST has two components of taxes charged on every Intrastate transaction. One of these is the component levied by the state government and second one is linked to CGST component. SGST replaces all the state taxes which were existing previously like VAT (value added tax), Entertainment tax, Service tax, Luxury tax, State sales tax, Entry tax, etc.
UTGST is levied only for five Union territory state- Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Andaman Nicobar Island, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu. These states levy additional tax component with break up including UTGST and additional CGST for all transactions of goods and services. Two Union Territory (Delhi, Puducherry) are free from additional charge for GST because of their own legislature.
IGST is levied by Central Govt. of India. IGST is Chargeable on Interstate transactions (between two states) of goods and services. It is levied only where the goods or services fall in the domain of state transactions. IGST is the tax that is the exclusive domain of the Union Government.
