What is SGST?

• SGST is a tax levied by the State Government on intra-state supply of both goods and services, and is administered by the SGST Act. As previously stated, the same Intra State supply will be subject to CGST, but it will be administered by the Central Government.
• Note that any SGST tax burden can only be offset against SGST or IGST input tax credits.
