Solution
The correct option is C manufacturing GST is a consumption based tax which is levied on the basis of “Destination principle.”
The concept relates to taxing the supply of goods or services at the point of consumption. It is a comprehensive tax regime covering both goods and services, and is collected on value-added at each stage of the supply chain.
The essence of GST is in removing the cascading effects i.e., tax on tax of both Central and State taxes by allowing setting-off of taxes throughout the value chain, right from the original producer and service provider’s point, up to the consumer level.
