When the prior taxation system was going well, why was the GST introduced? GST bill’s main objective is to ease and speed up the taxation process and you can also avail of the benefits of the GST suvidha Kendra service that is established in almost every city.

 

1). ‘One Tax for One Nation’: 

 

GST has covered multiple taxes into one single tax and the central government sets the rate of tax on goods and services which every city is bound to apply.

E-way bill legislation is applied to the transportation of goods and e-invoicing to monitor transactions. Taxpayers are now free from multiple tax returns and deadlines set.

 

2). Reduced Indirect taxes on multiple levels:

 

Before GST, throughout the supply chain of goods in India, there were multiple taxes imposed on it. Both central and state governments impose different taxes that make the product expensive and confuse the taxpayer as well. GST is applied to every value-added stage of goods and the central government sets the rates.

 

3). Reduced the cascading effects of taxes:

 

Another main objective of the GST bill is to reduce the tax cascading effects. Under GST, tax on tax has become simpler- tax paid while purchasing gets deducted from paying the collected tax on sales.

 

4). To protect from the fraud of input tax:

 

You will get tax input benefits only if your vendor has updated the bill on the portal.

 

5). The uniform GST rates are a result of keeping prices competitive nationally and internationally.

GST is an indirect tax applied on every good and service in India and the GST bill has eased the entire taxation process. It has also eliminated the frauds on ITC.
