GST is a destination based consumption tax levied on supply of goods and services. It is proposed to be levied at all stages right from manufacture up to the final consumption with credit of taxes paid at all previous stages. © India has adopted a dual GST model where Central and State Governments will simultaneous- ly levy GST on a common tax base. On intra-state supply of goods and services, Central GST ("CGST") and State GST ("SGST") will be levied. CGST will be levied and administered by Cen- tral Government whereas SGST will be levied and administered by State Government. Similarly, Integrated GST (IGST) will be levied on every inter-State supply of goods and ser- vices (including import) by the Central Government. * GST is proposed to be implemented from 1st July, 2017 and the sellers who have registered themselves with the state VAT/CST laws will be required to migrate their existing registrations into the GST regime Existing dealers New dealers Existing VAT registered A single application needs to be filed online for registration under payers will not have to apply for fresh registra- tion under GST GST.

The uniformity in tax rates and proce- dures across India will also go a long way in reducing the compliance cost.
