The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a single, unified tax that has replaced multiple indirect taxes in India. If you’re running a business, GST registration is essential for compliance, growth, and credibility. 

GST is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services across India. Implemented on July 1, 2017, GST replaced various indirect taxes that were previously imposed by the central and state governments, such as excise duty, service tax, value-added tax (VAT), and others.

The GST system is designed to create a unified taxation structure, simplifying the tax regime by streamlining different taxes into a single tax. It operates on a dual model, involving both the central and state governments:

• Central GST (CGST): Collected by the central government on intra-state supplies of goods and services.
• State GST (SGST): Collected by the state government on intra-state supplies of goods and services.
