In a nutshell, only value addition will be taxed and burden of tax is to be borne by the final consumer.
The tax came into effect from July 1, 2017 through the implementation of One Hundred and First Amendment of the Constitution of India by the Indian Government. The tax replaced existing multiple Central and State Government taxes.
The tax rates, rules and regulations are governed by the GST Council which consists of the finance minister of central and all the states. GST is meant to replace a slew of indirect taxes with a unified tax and is therefore expected to reshape the country's 2.4 trillion dollar economy. GST tax rates vary from 0% - 28% depending on the type of service or Nature of Goods Your business is selling. The GST is paid by consumers, but it is remitted to the government by businesses selling goods and services. In effect, GST provides revenue for the government.

What are Different Types of GST Registration?
For the filing of GST, transactions need to be classified depending on the type of customer to whom the sale is done. Following are the two different types of GST registration:
A. Registration Under Composition Scheme:
The Composition Scheme is for the small taxpayers in order to ease the tax compliance for them. This scheme allows eligible taxpayers to pay a percentage of their yearly revenue as a tax. Like small retailers, eateries and trading businesses. This will relieve the taxpayers/ businesses from collecting taxes from their customers directly and adds benefits as mentioned below:
- File Single Quarterly return, not multiple monthly returns.
- Pay Lower Tax which gives competitive advantage
- Books of Accounts and Records are easy to maintain under GST norms.
In short, this is a customer who has a business which is registered under the composition scheme of GST and has a GSTIN.
Following is the eligibility criteria to register under GST Composition Scheme :
- Must be a Registered Taxpayer
- Annual Turnover should be less than Rs 1 Crore
- Manufacturers of Goods, Dealers, and Restaurants (Not Serving Alcohol) can opt for this scheme.
B. Registration As a Casual Taxable Person:
Casual Taxable Person is a person who supplies taxable goods or services occasionally like a event management company which has various events in different states needs to register as a Casual Taxable Person for that particular taxable state before supplying or offering any goods or services.
Suppose Mr. 'A' has a business of consulting and who provide services in different states, then he needs to register as a Casual Taxable Person so that his business is compliant with the tax norms of that particular state.
