In India dual systems from GST are proposed, including CGST and SGST. In the GST all indirect taxes are placed under a single regime. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. It combines various other taxes, such as local and local taxes, entertainment taxes, consumption taxes, surcharges, octroi and others. The final consumer receives only the GST paid by the last dealer in the supply chain and receives the compensatory benefits in the previous step.
