India is going through one of the major reforms in tax system since independence i.e. Goods & Service Tax (GST). GST will replace 17 indirect tax levies and compliance costs will fall. The GST regime seeks to subsume the following taxes into a single one:

Taxes levied by Central Govt.:

Central Excise.
Service Tax.
Central Surcharges.

Taxes levied by State Govt.:

VAT/Sales Tax.

Luxury Tax.
State Taxes and Cesses.
