Meaning and scope of supply as per section 3 of IGST
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is one of the biggest tax reform in indirect taxation system which will integrate Excise duty, Service Tax, Value Added Tax, Central Sales Tax and lot of other indirect taxes which are existing at state level. GST is a broad based and a single comprehensive tax levied on goods and services consumed in an economy. This is levied at every stage of production – distribution chain till retail level with applicable setoffs in respect of tax remitted at previous stage.
It is a distinction based tax and levied at single point at the time of final consumption by ultimate consumer.
The entire indirect tax system will get transformed with the rollout of GST and will significantly impact to the various sectors of the industry. Result would be change in pricing strategies, working capital requirement and supply chain management.
It could be a challenge for the industry to migrate from existing indirect tax system to proposed GST system without hampering their business.
Although the GST model and its mechanics are relatively simple (Output tax less input tax) but it will impact significantly to industries in terms of change in their IT system to ensure the requirements of GST.
In this presentation, we will cover section 3 of the said Act, which has the Meaning & Scope of Supply
