Understanding GST in India

What is GST?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services throughout India. Implemented on July 1, 2017, GST replaced multiple cascading taxes levied by the central and state governments, creating a unified tax structure across the country.

GST is a destination-based consumption tax, meaning it's collected at the point of consumption rather than the point of origin. This system eliminates the tax-on-tax effect (cascading effect) that existed under the previous tax regime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CGST and SGST?

CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) are both components of GST applied on intra-state transactions. CGST goes to the Central Government while SGST goes to the State Government. For example, on an intra-state sale with 18% GST, 9% would be CGST and 9% would be SGST.

How do I calculate GST from a total amount?

To calculate GST from a total amount that includes GST: GST Amount = Total Amount - (Total Amount / (1 + GST Rate/100)). For example, for a total of ₹1,180 at 18% GST: GST Amount = 1180 - (1180 / 1.18) = 1180 - 1000 = ₹180.

What is the GST rate for restaurants?

Currently, most restaurants charge 5% GST without Input Tax Credit (ITC) benefits. However, restaurants in hotels with room tariffs of ₹7,500 and above per day charge 18% GST with ITC benefits.

How often should businesses file GST returns?

Regular businesses must file monthly returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B). Businesses opting for the QRMP scheme can file quarterly returns. Annual returns (GSTR-9) must be filed by December 31st of the following financial year.

Can I claim GST refunds for exports?

Yes, exports are considered zero-rated supplies under GST. Exporters can claim refunds for Input Tax Credit (ITC) accumulated on inputs used in exports. The refund process can be done through various methods including direct refund or by exporting under bond/LUT without paying GST.
