What is GST (Goods & Services Tax)?
GST is India’s unified indirect tax system introduced on 1 July 2017. It replaced over 17 central and state taxes with a single, destination-based tax structure. Every business with a turnover above ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for services) must register under GST.
GST Registration & Compliance
GST compliance involves monthly/quarterly return filing, ITC reconciliation, e-invoicing, and annual return (GSTR-9). Non-compliance attracts interest, late fees, and notices under Section 73/74.
