Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax introduced in India in 2017 that is imposed on the supply of goods and services, and it subsumes all indirect taxes except few. It is a destination-based tax imposed on goods and services used, and it is not imposed at the point of origin from where goods come. GST also has a few components specific to state governments, central government and Union Territories (UTs).Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the given passage?

A.
GST is imposed on the production of goods and services.
B.
GST includes all indirect taxes.
C.
GST does not have a component specific to UT.
D.
GST is imposed at the point of usage of goods and services.

Solution:

Explanation:The correct answer is option 4) i.e. GST is imposed at the point of usage of goods and services.? Option 1 can be negated from the get-go as GST is not imposed on production, it is imposed on the supply of goods and services.Option 2 can be negated in a similar fashion as the GST subsumes all indirect taxes except few.Option 3 can be negated as it has been mentioned clearly in the passage that- "GST also has a few components specific to state governments, central government and Union Territories (UTs)."Option 4 follows directly from the second line of the passage. "It is a destination-based tax imposed on goods and services used,". Here the term "at the point of usage of goods and services." implies that it is a destination-based tax.
