    Solution

    The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a Value Added Tax (VAT) replacing all indirect taxes levied on goods and services by the Indian Central and State governments. India is a federal republic, and the GST is thus implemented concurrently by the central and state governments as the Central GST and the State GST respectively. Exports will be zero-rated and imports will be levied the same taxes as domestic goods and services adhering to the destination principle.
