About this Course

Goods and Services Tax (GST) was referred to as “good and simple tax” by the Prime Minister of India when it was unveiled in 2017. It is a comprehensive indirect taxation mechanism with an aim to subsume the existing indirect taxes under a common umbrella, comprising taxes on goods and services. The GST Council acts as a recommendatory body with respect to the implementation and levy of the respective taxes under the system of GST. 

This course is aimed at providing an overview of the system of GST comprising revenue collection system, status of different goods and services under GST, compensation mechanism, dispute settlement mechanism, significance of supply under GST and an overview of certain important concepts under the GST regime.
