On the 1st of July 2017, the taxation system in India was changed forever. GST is basically an indirect tax levied on the sale of goods and services. GST replaced the old system of VAT(Value Added Tax). Many government officials themselves believe that the process of implementing GST was rushed along and initially had some glitches with procedures such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/gst-registration\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">GST Registration<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/gst-return\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">GST Return<\/span><\/a>. Fast forward one year and GST has now become a part of parcel of everyday life. The government worked on the shortcomings of the law by introducing radical changes to the law throughout the year.
