The one hundred and twenty second amendment bill of the Indian constitution introduced the National Goods and Service Tax from 1st July 2017. This is officially known to be the constitution act, 2016. Consequently, the prominent reason behind the introduction of predominant GST is the tax burden that falls both on companies and the customers. Regarding to the current tax system, there are several taxes added at each and every stage of the supply chain, without taking credit for taxes that are paid at the earlier stages

As a result, the end user cost does not clearly shows the actual cost of the product that are sold and purchased and how much tax was applied. This structure remains quite complex and inefficient one. Moreover, Gst will integrate more taxes into single unit, which can be applied to the sales and the purchases of the goods and services, with deductions for taxes paid at the earlier supply chain stages. This structure remains easier to be tracked by both government and the business people.

De-merger of two or more companies, As a result, the transferee would be liable to obtain registration from the date on which the Registrar of Companies issues a certificate of incorporation giving effect to such order of the High Court or Tribunal.
