GST is an indirect tax that will create a unified Indian market by harmonizing tax rates and structures across states. It replaces multiple taxes like VAT, excise, and service tax. The pre-GST system lacked harmonization of tax laws and automation, leading to delays, lack of cross-verification and assessment problems. GST will be charged on businesses, industries, central and state governments, and consumers. It will simplify compliance, remove the cascading effect of taxes, increase competitiveness, and lead to uniform prices and potentially lower prices overall. Various sectors like manufacturing, services, logistics, ecommerce, agriculture, telecom, and textiles will be impacted by GST in both positive and negative ways such as

 Dairy farming, poultry farming and stock breeding are specifically kept out of the definition of
Agriculture; hence it seems that these will be taxable under GST regime.
 The mere cutting of wood or grass, gathering of fruit and raising of man-made forest or
rearing of seedlings or plants have also been specifically kept out of the definition of Agriculture, hence
it seems that these will be taxable under GST regime.
 Agriculture by persons other than Individual and HUF seems also kept out of the definition of
agriculturist; hence it seems that these will be taxable under GST regime.
However, as an outcome of GST time taken for inter-state transportation will reduce now.
