The Goods and Services Tax was implemented in India on 1st July 2017 as a comprehensive indirect tax system. It replaced multiple indirect taxes such as VAT, sales tax, and octroi, creating a unified tax structure across the country (with limited state-level exceptions).
GST is:
Multi-stage: Levied at every stage of the supply chain
Destination-based: Collected at the point of consumption rather than origin
Input Tax Credit-enabled: Businesses can claim credit for tax paid on inputs, subject to conditions
GST is levied under five primary tax slabs:
0%
5%
12%
18%
28%
However, the structure is far from simple. With over 1,300 categories of goods and 500 categories of services—along with special rates and frequent regulatory updates—GST compliance can become highly complex.
For example:
Rough precious and semi-precious stones may attract 0.25%
Silver may attract 1.5%
Gold may attract 3%
Determining the applicable tax rate for products such as jewelry made from multiple materials can require careful classification and analysis.
Additionally, while manufacturers are generally eligible for Input Tax Credit (ITC), certain items such as electricity may not qualify, despite being taxed—often subject to varying state regulations.

The e-Way Bill is an electronic permit required for the movement of goods, particularly for inter-state transport. It replaced the traditional way bill system and serves as an anti-tax-evasion mechanism.
Under the Reverse Charge Mechanism, the recipient of goods or services is required to pay GST on behalf of certain unregistered suppliers. The recipient may then claim Input Tax Credit (ITC), subject to eligibility conditions.

Determining correct tax rates
Filing accurate returns
Claiming Input Tax Credit properly
