About this market

Market context

Indirect Tax in India primarily revolves around the Goods and Services Tax (GST), a comprehensive multi-stage, destination-based tax levied on every value addition. It is a dual GST with Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST) for intra-state supplies, and Integrated GST (IGST) for inter-state and import transactions.

India's GST regime, implemented in July 2017, is managed by the GST Council and administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) and state tax authorities. Key compliance includes monthly or quarterly GSTR-1 (outward supplies), GSTR-3B (summary return), and annual GSTR-9/9C filings. GST rates are structured into 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% slabs, with additional cesses on certain goods, and e-invoicing is mandatory for businesses with turnover above specific thresholds (currently INR 5 crore).
