GST SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION

Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 12-1-2018<\/p>\n
The Goods and Service Tax concept was introduced with effect from 01.07.2017 in India. This is a very significant step taken by the Government amalgamating a large number of Central and State indirect taxes into a single tax. The tax on goods and services is integrated. The aim of introduction of GST is to mitigate cascading effect of taxation in a major way and pave the way for a common national market. Originally it was planned to introduce the GST in the year 2006 itself. But it has been delayed due to various reasons.
\nTo enable the Central Government and State Governments for the levy of GST the Constitution was amended vide Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016, with effect from 16.09.2016. The amendment Act provides for a levy of GST on supply of all goods or services except for Alcohol for human consumption.
