INPUT TAX CREDIT | GST INDIA
Before GST was rolled out, the indirect taxation in India was very outdated. It had a cascading nature which used to increase the cost of the final product to more than desirable levels. However, in July 2017, GST brought with it Input Tax Credit or ITC. This helped replace the existing redundant taxation system with a better one.

Input tax credit mainly means that when a manufacturer pays the tax on his output, he can deduct the tax he previously paid on the input he purchased. Let's understand it more.





WAIT...WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CASCADING OF TAXES IN THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM?Good question!

NEW GST RATES FOR RESTAURANTS
If you love eating out, then GST hasn't really been very favorable for you.

As it is, its rollout in India has been marred by controversies, glitches & technical issues.

On top of that, higher tax rates have led to a decent increase in the final bill that has forced many food lovers to control their love of eating at the restaurants.

However, with the recent decision to lower the GST rates to 5%, applicable to both AC & non AC restaurants starting from November 15th, 2017, many people heaved a sigh of relief.

They believed that their restaurant bills would definitely decrease considerably.

BUT THAT MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE THE CASE!

WHAT ARE ALL THE CHANGES?When GST was rolled out in India, it was being levied at 12% at non AC restaurants and at 18% at AC restaurants. Alcohol, however, was out of this tax rate and it attracted VAT and other taxes as before.
