Types of GST

GST can be categorised under three heads such as 

• Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST)
• State/Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (SGST/UTGST) and 
• Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST)

CGST and SGST is charged for intrastate supplies where the place of supply is in the same state compared to the location of the supplier.
IGST is charged for interstate supplies where the place of supply is in a different state compared to the location of the supplier.
