9. GST can be divided into these
to parts to explain it better.
Charging
Tax
Getting
Credit
The dealers registered
under GST are required
to charge GST at the
specified rate of tax on
goods & services that
supply to customers
If the recipient of goods
& services is a
registered dealer, he
will normally be able to
claim a credit of the
amount of GST he paid,
provided he holds a
proper tax invoice.
10. The net effect is that dealers
charge GST but do not keep
it, and pay GST but get a
credit for it. This means they
act essentially as collecting
agents for Government. The
ultimate burden of tax falls on
last and final consumer of
goods & services, as this
person does not get any
credit for the GST paid by
him to sellers and service
