What is GST and Why Does It Matter?
Understanding GST
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a value-added tax levied on most goods and services sold for domestic consumption. It's a comprehensive indirect tax that has replaced many previous indirect taxes in various countries. Businesses collect GST from customers and remit it to the government, making accurate calculation essential for compliance.
GST matters because:
- Legal Compliance: Incorrect GST calculation can lead to penalties and legal issues
- Pricing Accuracy: Proper GST calculation ensures correct product pricing
- Financial Planning: Accurate tax forecasting helps with cash flow management
- International Trade: Understanding GST implications is crucial for cross-border transactions
- Competitive Advantage: Proper tax management can improve profitability
