GST collection shows the health of the economy
GST collection is an important indicator of economic health. Higher collections indicate strong consumer spending, industrial activity and effective tax compliance.
In the month of April, businesses often clear year-end transactions from March, leading to an increase in tax filings and collections. KPMG National Head Abhishek Jain said that the highest ever GST collection reflects the strong domestic economy.
GST was implemented in 2017
The government implemented GST across the country on July 1, 2017. After this, 17 taxes and 13 cesses of the Central and State Governments were removed. On completion of 7 years of GST, the Finance Ministry posted about the achievements made during the last seven years.
GST is an indirect tax. It was implemented in 2017 to replace various indirect taxes like VAT, service tax, purchase tax, excise duty. GST has four slabs of 5, 12, 18 and 28%.
GST is divided into four parts:

- SGST (State GST): Collected by state governments.
- IGST (Integrated GST): Applicable on interstate transactions and imports, divided between the central and state governments.
- Cess: An additional fee imposed on specific goods (e.g., luxury items, tobacco) to raise funds for a specific purpose.
