In Pics Everything you need to know about Goods and Services Tax GST

The Goods and Services Tax or GST is scheduled to be launched on the 1st of July, and it is set to revolutionise the way we do our taxes. But what is GST and how will it reform the current tax structure? Let us try and analyse this issue through an understanding of GST. GST will simplify a web of taxes, regulations and border levies by subsuming an array of central and state levies including excise duty, service tax and VAT. It is being dubbed as the most significant economic reform since BJP government came to power in 2014 and is expected to add as much as 2 percentage points to the GDP growth rate.
