    Study Notes

    GST Imposition

    • GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a multi-stage, destination-based tax levied on the supply of goods and services.
    • GST is imposed at every stage of the supply chain, with a mechanism of input tax credit (ITC) to avoid cascading of taxes.

    GST vs VAT

    • The main difference between GST and VAT (Value-Added Tax) is that GST is a comprehensive, multi-stage tax, whereas VAT is a single-stage tax.
    • GST is a more comprehensive tax, covering a broader range of goods and services.

    GST Tax Slabs

    • GST has a four-tier tax structure for goods and services: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.

      • Unprocessed food items like coffee beans, tea leaves, and spices
