It is a destination-based tax, which means that the tax is levied at the place where the goods or services are consumed. GST is a single tax that subsumes multiple indirect taxes such as Central Value Added Tax (CVAT), State Value Added Tax (SVAT), Central Sales Tax (CST), and Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST).<\/p>\n

The 28% slab is applicable on items such as luxury cars, jewellery, and air conditioners.<\/p>\n
