Overview of GST Advisory Services
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced by the Indian government on July 1st. It is used for all business operations carried out in India. Since India’s independence, the GST is the country’s biggest indirect tax reform. GST is a single, uniform tax assessed across the entire country of India on both commodities and services. It is solely applied to the “value added” to products and services at each stage of the economic supply chain. GST has altered India’s tax structure, but it is also anticipated to have a significant impact on every aspect of corporate operations carried out in the nation, including supply chain management, product and service pricing, IT, accounting, and tax compliance systems.With a view to completely overhauling the current indirect tax system, GST will have an impact on tax structure, tax incidence, tax computation, tax payment, compliance, credit utilisation, and reporting.
