The journey to rollout the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has commenced with the enactment of the 101st Constitution Amendment Act, 2016 on 8th September, 2016 and the subsequent notifications. The GST is a new fiscal law and it is necessary that tax officers and the trade are suitably aware of the law. In this backdrop, CBEC as a part of capacity building exercise has prepared a compilation of FAQ on GST.
