GST is the abbreviation of the Goods and Services Tax. It is an indirect tax which has replaced many indirect taxes in India such as the excise duty, VAT, services tax, etc. The Goods and Service Tax Act was passed in the Parliament on 29th March 2017 and came into effect on 1st July 2017.
In other words, Goods and Service Tax (GST) is levied on the supply of goods and services. Goods and Services Tax Law in India is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition. GST is a single domestic indirect tax law for the entire country.
A series of laws come under the GST such as Central Excise Law, Service Tax Law, VAT and Entry Tax etc. At present, the central government adds duty on the factors of manufacture and then it adds the Value Added Tax when a particular item is sold. This GST applies for all the goods except crude petroleum, diesel, motor spirit and natural gas. In India, the goods and products have the same pricing due to GST and this will lead to the latter to turn into a developed country from the state of being a developing country. If a person is trying to furnish a new home they may have to buy things such as TV, AC and Washing Machine which is expensive one under GST.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF FILING GST RETURN?
GST is the most important and one of the biggest monetary reforms in India. All types of businesses including small, large, the medium can be influenced by the tax regime which is an indirect one. It is imposed on both goods and services and it replaces the current indirect taxes like service tax, VAT etc. The major benefit of GST is the cascading tax effect can be removed. In simple words, it means a tax on tax. The service tax which is paid on the several input services cannot be assumed against the output Value Added Tax. Under the certain protocols of GST, the input tax can be accounted across several goods and services.
The optional scheme of for the purpose of the lower taxes especially for the small-sized businesses below fifty lakhs is called the composition scheme. Recently it has been proposed to be increased about seventy-five lakhs. This will automatically bring about layoff from the tax burdens to both small-sized and medium-sized businesses. It helps a huge number of organizations and the companies to increase its consumption. Because of GST, there is a taxation burden to be split equally between the manufacturing and the services. GSTN, which is completely an integrated tax platform, deals with all the aspects of GST. There is a removal of the economic distortions and thus bringing the development of the common national market.
GST’s main aim is to increase the taxpayer base by just bringing both Small and Medium-sized enterprises under its bounds. This automatically brought a huge competition in the Indian market and creation of a playing field between the small and large enterprises. The competition held internationally with the foreign countries such as China, Philippines, and Bangladesh. It helps to build a corruption free tax administration and the entire tax systems are integrated too. Day by day both the production and the distribution of goods and services are increasingly consumed or used and vice versa. The division of the transaction values into a value of goods leads to greater complication, administration and compliance costs etc.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO FILE GST Return?
The GST Return is a document which contains information about the income in which a taxpayer is essential to file with the tax administrative officials. This is actually used by the tax authorities in order to calculate the tax liability. Under the rules and regulations of GST, the dealer who is a registered one has to file the GST which includes the purchases; sales, Output GST which is on sales one and Input Tax credit which is GST paid on purchase one. In order to file the GST returns, GST compliant sales and the purchase invoices are the most required one. One can generate the compliant invoices for free on the clear tax bill book. There is a question raised among the public that who has to file the GST Returns?
In the present GST administration, any business which is a regular one and nor the irregular one has to file about three monthly returns and one annual return. By calculation, it amounts to about thirty-seven returns in a year. The person has to enter the full details manually of one monthly return which is about GSTR1. There are other two types of returns such as GSTR 2 and 3 which derive the data from the GSTR-1 filed by the specific person and the vendors. The real fact is that there are separate returns which are compulsory to be filed by the special cases like composition dealer. The return forms are listed here such as GSTR-1, GSTR-2, GSTR-3, GSTR-9, and GSTR-3B etc. These forms can be used for the regular business. The schemes such as GSTR-4, GSTR-9A can be used for the composition scheme.
WHAT ARE THE SEVERAL TYPES UNDER THE GST?
GSTR3B is one of the vital types in order to ease the process of migration of the taxpayers to the new tax administration compared to the previous types. This type was introduced by the government recently; here the taxpayers can list out the invoice details updated one for the first two months. The gstr1 form is a one where the details of both outward supplies of goods and services are provided to the department. GSTR2A is an auto-populated form which allows the folks to check the entire details filed by the concerned supplier. GSTR2 ensures that the details of the inward supplies of both goods and the services are approved one by the recipient of the goods or the services. GSTR 4 contains the minute details; an auto-populated form of the outward details.
