Concept:
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) system in India categorizes tax into different heads depending on the nature of the transaction. IGST is one of these heads.
Step 1: Decoding the acronym.
Under the GST regime, tax levied on the inter-state supply of goods and services is known as Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST).
Step 2: Identifying the 'I'.
The term "Integrated" is used because it combines the Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST) components for inter-state transactions.
