What is GST and GST full form

We are all aware of the Goods and Service Tax (GST). GST was project of last government brain child which after many amendments it was launched in July 1, 2017.

The government's slogan was "One Nation, One Tax." The government's major goal in implementing GST was to achieve this.

By removing all medium and big indirect taxes, the government wanted to make a single tax system.

The old tax system, which was in place until recently, taxed an item from the time it was manufactured until it reached the client, but after the implementation of GST, tax was only imposed once.

GST is required for whom?

  • For anyone who is already registered under the Act, such as VAT or Service Tax.
  • For companies with a turnover of more than 20,000 rupees (for North-East, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand this limit is ten lakh rupees).
  • GST shall apply to taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons, supplying agents, and input service distributors, among others.
  • Those who pay tax under the reverse charge system and those who supply e-commerce services would both be subject to GST.

The whole list of registrations is available on the GST website; we'll go over the highlights of that list here.

Penalty for Not Registered on GST

When a person has become subject to GST and continues to do business without registration, he is subject to the following penalties:

  • If he has paid less tax, he must pay ten percent of the tax or a penalty of at least ten thousand dollars;
  • If there is large-scale tax fraud, 100 percent of the tax must be paid.

Otherwise, there is a provision for a late fine. The government has created a tax system that considers everyone's needs, thus everyone should follow to it, as it has numerous advantages.
