GST Tax Advantages

Free Movement of goods

Eliminating CST(Central Sales Tax) plus other state entry taxes, free movement of goods across the country will be enabled with the help of IGST. This means that businesses will be able to sell more in other states, helping the logistics sector save around $200 billion annually.

Reduced costs

By applying a single tax, the cost of goods will go down. Businesses will benefit from reducing this tax burden and consumers will enjoy cheaper products. GST tax is beneficial because it only applies to value addition and removes tax cascading.

Easier tax compliance

The simplified tax structure results in reducing the hassle filling tax forms by merchants. All aspects from registration for GSTIN to filing monthly tax returns and payments will be managed through the online GST portal.

Simplified tax collection
