With the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in 2017, Indians were promised a uniform tax system, under a regime that subsumed over a dozen central and state taxes.

However, since India is primarily a federal state and the tax revenue from the supply of goods and services has to be proportionately shared between the centre and states, a three-tier tax system was introduced under the GST. Under this system, tax liabilities arise, based on the movement of the goods or services within or outside a state.

Intra-state and inter-state GST

It is important to first understand the concepts of intra-state and inter-state supply of goods, to have clarity on the three types of GST and how they are levied.

Intra-state supply of goods or services: When the supply of goods or services takes place within a state, it is known as intra-state transaction. In other words, when the supplier and the buyer are from the same state, it would be known as intra-state supply. In such cases, the sellers collect and deposit two types of GST from the buyer, the central GST and the state GST.

Inter-state supply of goods or services: When the supply of goods or services takes place from one state to another, it is known as an inter-state transaction. In other words, when the supplier and the buyer are not from the same state, it would be known as inter-state supply. In such cases, sellers collect and deposit a type of GST from the buyer, known as the integrated GST.
