Why GST (Good Service Tax) was introduced?

There was no unified and centralised tax on both goods and services.

Hence, GST was introduced.

Under GST, all the major indirect taxes were subsumed into one.

It has greatly reduced the compliance burden on taxpayers and eased tax administration for the government.
