<h1>India's GST Revolution: Simplifying Taxes, Boosting Business, and Enhancing Transparency Since 2017.</h1> The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India, implemented on July 1, 2017, replaced a complex web of central, state, and local taxes with a unified tax system. This reform aimed to create an economic union, enhancing ease of doing business and reducing tax cascading. The GST Council, comprising central and state finance ministers, oversees its implementation. GST is a dual model, with both central (CGST) and state (SGST) components, and an integrated GST (IGST) for interstate transactions. The system is designed to be technology-driven, with an emphasis on compliance and transparency, and includes mechanisms like e-way bills and anti-profiteering measures.
