The introduction of GST into the Indian tax system has done away with several other taxes like central excise duty, service tax, customs duty, and state-level value-added tax. Thus, a single GST has eliminated the cascading effect of tax on tax .
Before GST was introduced, VAT or value added tax was applicable for any business that had an annual turnover of 20 lakhs. Services that saw a turnover of less than 10 lakhs did not have to pay service taxes.
Earlier start-ups with an annual turnover of 5 lakh had to pay VAT which would be very difficult for a business during the initial stages. But as GST has replaced VAT, businesses can set off the service tax on their sales.
Start-ups are making a strong presence online offering their services and products through their websites. Under VAT, there were many types of VAT laws, and the supply of goods through online, that is, E-commerce was never a well-defined one. For instance, if you need to deliver goods to various states, then you will have to file the VAT declaration first. After that, you will need to provide registration details about the trucks which deliver the goods. In many instances, goods end up being seized by the authorities due to lack of proper documents. GST has now removed all such confusing processes.
The pre-GST period witnessed a disorganized tax filing system. Presently, all taxes are paid online and major hassles that were a part of tax filing have been eliminated in the process of introducing GST. This has resulted in industries becoming more accountable and tax filing laws are better regulated than before.

GST FILING
GST or Goods and Services Tax replaced the numerous different taxes which were levied by Central and State governments on different products or services. While it was enforced in 2017, the GST Act was passed in the year 2019. This taxation system looks to streamline the numerous taxes levied on products, making it simple for the taxpayers, their collectors, etc. Additionally, it also makes tax filing easy since taxpayers have to file for just one tax.
WHAT IS THE GST RETURN?
Before going into the process of GST filing, it is important to understand what GST return means for business owners and service providers. GST returns essentially stands for filing of all GST. Every individual who is covered under the GST Act must produce their income to the Tax Department of India. This is known as return and it includes details of every sale and purchase.
Under this system of taxation, concerned individuals must file their GST return 26 times in a year. While business owners have to go for goods and services tax filing two times every month, they must also file two additional time half-yearly. Before moving into the process of filing GST return, it is essential to understand a few additional things.
WHO SHOULD FILE GST RETURNS?
