CGST replaces service tax, central excise duty, CST, SAD and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/import-duty.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customs duty<\/a> as it comes under central taxes.

You can claim input tax credits where IGST applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is UGST or Union Territory Goods and Services Tax?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UGST applies to Union Territories such as Daman and Diu, Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Chandigarh and others.
