GST : A Multi-Tiered System
An Overview of GST
Components of GST
There are 3 taxes applicable under this system: CGST, SGST & IGST
I. CGST: Collected by the Central Government on an intra-state sale (Eg:
transaction happening within Maharashtra)
II. SGST: Collected by the State Government on an intra-state sale (Eg:
transaction happening within Maharashtra)
III. IGST: Collected by the Central Government for inter-state sale (Eg:
Maharashtra to Tamil Nadu)
An Overview of GST
 Advantages of GST:
i. Regulating the unorganized sector
ii. Lesser compliances
iii. Removing cascading tax effect
iv. Higher threshold for registration
v. Simple and easy online procedure
vi. Defined treatment for e-commerce operators
vii. Improved efficiency of logistics
viii. Composition scheme for small businesses
 Disadvantages of GST:
i. Increased cost due to software purchase
ii. Being GST – compliant
iii. It came into effect in the middle of financial year - Businesses may find it
hard to get adjusted to the new tax regime, and some of them are running
these tax systems parallelly, resulting in confusion and compliance issues.
iv. SME’s will have higher tax burden
v. It is an online taxation system – Businesses are now switching from pen and
paper invoicing and filing to online return filing and making payments. This
might be tough for some smaller businesses to adapt to.
