“Goods and Service Tax (GST) is a comprehensive tax levy on manufacture, sale and
consumption of goods and service at a national level.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a proposed system of indirect taxation
in India merging most of the existing taxes into single system of taxation. It was
introduced as The Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act 2016.
GST in India is slated to have the following components:
 Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) – Levied by Centre
 State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) – Levied by State
 Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) – Levied by Central Government on Inter-
state supply of Goods and Services
