The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017 replaced multiple indirect taxes with a unified and simplified tax system. As a destination-based and multi-staged tax, GST is applicable at each stage of the supply chain.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a revolutionary tax that has not only reduced the burden of tax compliance but also boosted economic growth. In this blog, we will discuss the intricate details of GST model in India<\/strong>, focusing on its four types, their key objectives and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are four different components in the GST structure of India. Let us understand the four-tier GST tax structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. State Goods and Services Tax (SGST)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (UTGST)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Different GST rates have been fixed under each head by the government. Each type of tax payment are applicable as per the nature of the transaction<\/a> or the services provided. Let us discuss each of them in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.<\/strong> Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Central Goods and Services tax is levied on intrastate or within the same state transactions. The CGST Act governs this tax component. The Central Government is eligible to collect the revenue that is earned from the CGST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, if a supplier from Maharashtra has sold goods worth \u20b93,000 to a consumer in Maharashtra, then the applicable GST will be partly SGST and partly CGST. If GST is applicable at the rate of 18%, the division will be 9% CGST and 9% SGST. The supplier will charge an amount of \u20b93,540. Out of this, an amount of \u20b9270 will go to the Central government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. State Goods and Services Tax (SGST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like CGST, the State Goods and Services Tax is applicable on transactions within the same state or intrastate transactions as well. Both CGST and SGST will be applicable in case of intrastate transactions. The SGST Act governs this tax component.<\/a> The state government is solely eligible to claim the revenue that is generated through SGST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, if a supplier from Chattisgarh sells goods worth \u20b93,500 to a consumer in Chhattisgarh, then partly SGST and partly CGST will be applicable to this transaction. If the CGST is applicable at the rate of 18%, it will be divided into 9% CGST and 9% SGST. The total amount that the customer needs to pay is \u20b93,540. Out of this, \u20b9270 will go to the government of Chhattisgarh as SGST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Integrated Goods and Services Tax is one of the four tax components which is applicable on interstate transactions, i.e., supply of goods or services within two different states and on exports or imports. The IGST Act governs IGST. Under this tax, the Central government collects the tax revenue <\/a>and then divides it among the respective states of the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if a supplier from Maharashtra sells goods worth \u20b93,000 to West Bengal, then IGST will be applicable as it is an interstate transaction. If GST is applicable at the rate of 18%, then customers will have to pay \u20b93,540 for the products. The IGST applicable is \u20b9540 which the Central government will collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (UTGST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Union Territory Goods and Services Tax, like SGST, is applicable to the supply of goods or services within the union territories of India. The UTGST is applicable to union territories like Chandigarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Daman Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli, Chandigarh and Lakshadweep. The union territory government collects the revenue from UTGST. As this tax is an SGST replacement, it is applicable along with the CGST in union territory transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nComponents of GST and its Explanation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
