    Dual GST Structure – CGST, SGST & IGST

    India is a federal country where both the Centre and the States have been assigned the powers to levy and collect taxes through appropriate legislation. Both the levels of Government have distinct responsibilities to perform according to the division of powers prescribed in the Constitution for which they need to raise resources. A dual GST will, therefore, be in keeping with the Constitutional requirement of fiscal federalism.

    Centre will levy and administer CGST & IGST while respective states will levy and administer SGST

    GST Return : Type of Return, Due Date, and Forms

    Type of Transaction Tax to be levied
    Intra-State Transactions 1. CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax)
    2. SGST (State Goods and Services Tax )
    Inter-State Transactions IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax)

    It would be a dual GST with the Centre and States simultaneously levying it on a common tax base. The GST to be levied by the Centre on intra-State supply of goods and / or services would be called the Central GST (CGST) and that to be levied by the States would be called the State GST (SGST). Similarly, Integrated GST (IGST) will be levied and administered by Centre on every inter-state supply of goods and services.
