Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a major tax reform introduced in India. It is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in the country. The implementation of GST has made the taxation system more transparent, efficient, and simplified. It has replaced various indirect taxes like service tax, VAT, excise duty, and others. GST is divided into three categories - CGST, SGST, and IGST. CGST is the tax collected by the central government, SGST is the tax collected by the state government, and IGST is the tax collected by the central government on inter-state supply of goods and services.
Place of supply means the location of the recipient of the goods or services. It is important to determine the place of supply as it determines the applicability of GST.
