GST on Commodities
GST is a destination-based consumption tax. It would be applicable on supply of goods and services instead of on the manufacture or sale of goods or provision of services.
Central taxes like excise duty, service tax, import duty and state taxes like VAT, luxury tax, octroi and entry tax will subsume in GST.
GST is aimed at simplifing India's tax structure and increasing ease of doing business. GST council has decided 4 slabs for tax rates — 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent — for goods and services.
