India’s garment industry is among the oldest and biggest contributors to the nation’s economic growth in terms of GDP, employment, and export promotion. Both skilled and unskilled employees are employed in the textile industry, one of the nation’s oldest and second-largest manufacturing sectors. As a result, businesses must understand about GST on Apparel, Clothing and textile products.
What is the Goods and Services Tax?
An easier way to pay taxes, the Goods and Services Tax (or GST), was introduced on July 1, 2017. It is imposed on everyone involved in the nation’s supply of goods and services. Service taxes, excise taxes, and other taxes that were in place before the GST implementation and have been replaced to bring about uniformity in the indirect tax structure.
It is an indirect tax and businesses are required to collect it while supplying goods or services. Each business as per their eligibility applies for GST Registration and gets a unique GSTIN.
