    Solution

    GST became operational in India on July 1, 2017. This comprehensive indirect tax system replaced multiple previous taxes including excise duty, service tax, and value-added tax (VAT). GST functions as a destination-based tax levied at every stage of the supply chain, though the ultimate tax burden falls on the end consumer. The implementation represented a significant reform in India's indirect taxation structure.
