The business climate in India is in a state of flux. Regulatory reforms are having an impact across industries even as it has never been easier to get the best business financing before. July 2017 saw a significant shift in how the country taxed goods and services as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented nationwide (GST). In spite of the fact that the government and related organisations have helped implement this new tax through seminars and conferences, as well as helplines that businesses can call, there are still a lot of unknowns. The GST was implemented with the goal of creating a single consumption-based tax system. This means that rather than going to the state where the goods or services originated, the tax revenue will flow to the state where they were consumed.

CGST – Definition and its Complete Form

 

The Central Goods and Service Tax is abbreviated as CGST. The CGST is a component of the goods and services tax (GST). The Central Goods and Service Tax Act of 2016 covers it. The money for the central government will come from the taxes collected under the Central Goods and Service Tax. Central excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, central sales tax, service tax, and other existing Central taxes will be absorbed into the Central Goods And Service Tax.

 

SGST – Definition and its Complete Form

 

State Goods and Service Tax is abbreviated as SGST. The State Goods and Service Tax Act of 2016 covers it. The revenue for the state government will come from the SGST collection. All state taxes, including as the Value Added Tax, Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax, and Entry Tax, will be combined under the SGST once it is implemented. For example, if products or services are sold or given within the State, SGST will be charged on the transaction.

 

IGST – Definition and its Complete Form

 

The Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) is a tax that applies to both goods and services. The Integrated Goods and Service Tax Act of 2016 governs the IGST. The IGST revenue will be split between the Central Government and state governments at the rates set by the government. On the transfer of goods and services from one state to another, the IGST will be applied. Imports of goods and services will also be considered inter-state transactions, and IGST will be charged on these transactions. If goods or services are transferred from Rajasthan to Maharashtra, for example, the transaction will be subject to the IGST.

 

The GST regime relies heavily on the Input Tax Credit (ITC)…. IGST/CGST/SGST credit has been defined as the tax payable under the reverse charge that was paid on any supply of goods or services utilised in the course or furtherance of business and includes the ITC.

 

How will the States and the Central Government calculate ITC?

 

Assume that manufacturer A in Madhya Pradesh sells goods worth Rs.15,000 to dealer B in the same state. In Rajasthan, trader C purchases them from B and resells them to B for Rs 20000. End User D in Rajasthan purchases the product from Trader C for Rs 35,000.

 

Assume that CGST is 9% and SGST is 9%. As a result, IGST is equal to 9 percent plus 9 percent, for a total of 18 percent. There will be no CGST or SGST because A is selling to B within Madhya Pradesh, hence it is an intra-state sale. As a result, C is buying from B (Madhya Pradesh) (Rajasthan). For an interstate purchase, IGST@18% will be charged. Rajasthan also sells to D through C. Because this is an intra-state sale, both CGST and SGST will be charged at the lower of 9 percent or 9 percent.

 

Condition: Any IGST credit must be used to offset IGST before being applied to CGST. The remaining amount will be used to offset the SGST.

What is the difference between SGST, CGST, IGST

This is the central government’s share of the GST on products and/or services supplied within a state. The SGST is the state government’s portion of the GST, which is levied on goods and services supplied within the state. When products or services are supplied to states other than the one from which they originated, the Integrated GST kicks in.

For example, Central Excise Duty, Central Sales Tax, Service Tax, and other fees and charges will be rolled into the CGST, as will current levies like Additional Excise Duties and Additional Customs Duty – Countervailing Duty (SAD).

As far as taxes on goods and services were concerned, the SGST included taxes like the State Sales Tax, VAT, Luxury Tax, and Entertainment Tax as well as taxes on lotteries, betting, and gaming, as well as Entry Taxes and State Cesses and Surcharges.

When it comes to IGST, the government collects it at the border and applies it to all purchases.

The Central government will benefit from the CGST tax income.

Dealers can apply the SGST input tax credit against SGST or IGST.

CGST and SGST are derived from trade inside a state, whereas IGST is paid to the central government when a sale transaction is made between states.

While the CGST input tax credit can be applied to both the CGST and the IGST, it cannot be utilised against the SGST.

CGST cannot be offset with SGST credit.

However, the IGST input tax credit can be applied to the CGST, SGST, or IGST, depending on which state you live in.
