GST Rate Structure and The Impact on Small Businesses

Structure of GST in India

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax imposed on services and goods that are sold for domestic use. For imports, in addition to the custom duty, the IGST is also levied. GST is a value-added tax or VAT that consumers of the services and products pay, however, the government receives it from the businesses selling these services and products.
