Brief on GST Advisory Service

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was established by the Indian government on July 1, 2017. (GST). It applies to all business activities carried out in India. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is India's largest indirect tax reform since independence. GST is a pan-India unitary tax on goods and services that is applied only on the "value added" to goods and services at each stage of the economic supply chain. GST has not only altered India's tax structure, but it is also likely to have a significant impact on every aspect of corporate operations in the country, including supply chain optimization, product and service pricing, IT, accounting, and tax compliance systems.GST will have an impact on tax structure, tax incidence, tax computation, tax payment, compliance, credit use, and reporting, implying that the current indirect tax system will be completely overhauled.
