Which portal should you use?

Current legal position after GST

GST replaced state VAT and CST for most supplies from 1 July 2017. Nevertheless, the Gujarat State Tax Department continues to administer VAT/CST and related legacy matters where those laws remain applicable. Its current website still publishes VAT schedules, VAT/CST manuals, forms and e-payment services.

Professional Tax continues separately under the Gujarat State Tax system. Taxpayers should therefore identify whether the liability arises under GST, VAT/CST, Professional Tax or another state law before making payment.
