Question

Find the names of the countries where Goods and Services Tax is applicable.

Answer 1

Here are some countries where GST is applicable, along with approximate tax rates (%):

• India – 5%, 12%, 18%, 28% (multiple slabs)
• Canada – 5% (GST) + additional provincial taxes (varies by province)
• Australia – 10% GST
• New Zealand – 15% GST
• Singapore – 9% GST
• Malaysia – 6% SST (similar indirect tax system)
• United Kingdom – 20% VAT
• South Africa – 15% VAT
• France – 20% VAT
• Germany – 19% VAT
• Japan – 10% Consumption Tax
• South Korea – 10% VAT

Many countries use GST directly, while some use a similar system called VAT (Value Added Tax), which works almost the same way as GST.
