Considering the evolving global marketplace and business scenario, Indian Government has come up with certain updates around GST regulations and norms. GST or Goods and Services Tax is a form of VAT or Value-added Tax which is paid by the consumer at the time of selling of the product/ service. Later, it is sent to the Government by those businesses that sell these products or offer such services. GST tax rates vary by location and its rate might fluctuate at the local level as well. There are some GST reforms in Budget 2022 which we are putting up here to help business administrators better understand the norms and make diligent decisions accordingly.
