For example, excise duty is a levy on manufacture of excisable goods. The liability to pay excise duty under Excise law arises immediately upon manufacture of excisable goods. Similarly, Service tax is a levy on provision of services and VAT is a levy on sale of goods. In case of Goods and Services Tax(GST), it is a tax on supply of goods or services or both. Therefore, GST is a levy on ‘Supply’. Thus, it is important to understand the meaning and scope of the word ‘Supply’ used in GST law.
