There would be three different types of levies in GST:
-
- CGST ( Central Goods and Services Tax )
- SGST ( State Goods and Services Tax )
- UTGST ( Union Territory Goods and Services Tax )
- IGST ( Integrated Goods and Services Tax )
SGST would be leviable along with CGST on the supply made by a registered person within a State.
Just as SGST is leviable along with CGST on the supply made by a registered person within a State, UTGST would be levied along with CGST on the supply made by a registered person within a Union Territory.
However, in no case, both SGST and UTGST would be leviable on an invoice of supply of goods or services or both. It would either be SGST or UTGST along with CGST would be leviable on the invoice.
IGST would be leviable on Import or Inter-State supply of goods or services or both. IGST would be equivalent to sum total of CGST and SGST/UTGST.
