<h1>India's GST Unifies Tax System, Simplifies Structure, and Boosts Economic Growth with Central and State Cooperation.</h1> The Goods and Services Tax (GST) implemented in India aims to create a unified tax system by subsuming multiple indirect taxes, thereby simplifying the tax structure and enhancing economic integration. Prior to GST, India's taxation was fragmented with various central and state levies. GST is designed to be a destination-based tax, addressing issues like tax cascading and compliance burdens. The GST Council, comprising central and state representatives, oversees its implementation. The system includes a dual model of Central GST and State GST, with provisions for input tax credits and a compensation mechanism for states. This reform is expected to boost economic growth by streamlining processes and fostering a national market.
