GST stands for the Goods and Services Tax, and is an indirect tax in India. The GST is a destination-based, multistage tax. Most indirect taxes in India are consolidated under the GST, and some state taxes have been merged into it. There are many advantages to GST, but some are more important than others. Here are five of them. These indirect taxes are not incorporated into the GST, but are still considered indirect in nature.

GST is collected from the point of sale, which can be an intra-state sale or an inter-state sale. It applies to all sales that take place during the supply chain. In this scenario, an item goes through several change-of-hands as it passes through various stages of the supply chain. For example, a manufacturer may sell biscuits to a warehousing agent, who then packs them in cartons.

GST is collected on goods and services when they are at the beginning of their life cycle. It is charged on these supplies and the sale of them to retailers and wholesalers. A taxable person needs to register for GST and the corresponding registration page should be filled out to complete the application process. This is required because, once a business is registered, it is publicly recognized. And when the public recognizes a taxable person, GST is applied in accordance with that fact.
