Parameters for Splitting of GST Revenue Between Centre and States

Under the proposed GST regime, both Centre and States will simultaneously levy GST across the value chain. Tax will be levied on supply of goods and services. Centre would levy and collect Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), and States would levy and collect the States Goods and Service Tax (SGST) on all transactions within a State. The Centre would levy and collect the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) on all inter-State supply of goods and services. The proceeds of IGST will be apportioned between the States and the Centre, under the proposed Article 269A, as provided by Parliament by law on the recommendations of the GST Council. Further, the CGST collected by the Central Government as well as the Union's share of IGST collected will be devolved to the States as per the provisions of Article 270.

The rates of GST will be recommended by the GST Council after it is constituted after the amendment of the Constitution.
