Types of GST or components of GST

CGST– The CGST (Central Goods & Services Tax) is the tax collected by the Central Government on the transaction of goods and services within a state. This tax is universal and is a replacement for all other taxes imposed by the Centre such as CST, SAD and so on.

SGST– The state government of each state imposes the SGST or the State Goods & Services Tax. This tax has replaced all the other taxes that were levied by the state such as Entertainment Tax, Entry Tax, VAT and the like. The state is the sole owner of the revenue collected from the imposition of SGST.

IGST– This refers to the application of the tax on the transaction of goods and services between two states. Known as the Integrated Goods & Services Tax, IGST is applicable when services or materials are transported from one state to a different one.

UTGST– This particular tax is only meant for the five Union Territories in India. It has the same purpose and advantages as the SGST; the only difference is that it is applicable only in Chandigarh, Daman and Diu, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

Advantages of GST Registration

1. The Taxpayer will be legally recognized as a supplier of goods or services.

2. Taxpayer would be legally authorized to collect tax from his customers and pass on the credit of the taxes paid on the goods or services supplied to the purchasers/ recipients.

3. Taxpayer can claim input tax credit(ITC) of taxes paid on his purchases / procurements and can utilize the same for payment of taxes due on supply of goods or services.
