The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax introduced by the government in July 2017, replacing several previous indirect taxes such as excise duty, value-added tax (VAT), purchase tax, and service tax. GST is imposed on the supply of specific goods and services. Businesses supplying goods with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 40 lakh, and those supplying services with an annual turnover of more than Rs 20 lakh must register for GST. Notably, there is no charge for the registration.
