With the introduction of Goods and Service Tax, various other taxes like VAT, Service Tax and Entertainment Tax has been subsumed, thus reducing the cascading effects of taxation for the end consumers.

As Government and Tax Authorities are slowly rolling out rules and regulations for the same, GST compliances have left many in lurch for further clarification. In order to help our readers choose the best GST software in India, we are listing the features that you should look for when purchasing the software.
