It includes both Direct and Indirect Taxes. Revenue from Indirect taxes is the major source of tax revenue as majority of India’s population is poor and thus, widening base of direct taxes had inherent limitation. The past system of Indirect tax was multi–layered and hence leads to cascading of tax.

This research paper highlights the concept & history of GST, causes to implement GST in India, SWOT analysis of GST, Differentiate the present GST structure with the past tax structure and also highlights the impact of GST on various sectors of Indian Economy.
