Frequently asked questions

How do I add GST?

Multiply the base price by the GST rate, divide by 100 and add it to the price. For example, 18% GST on ₹10,000 is ₹1,800, making ₹11,800.

How do I find the price without GST?

Base price = total ÷ (1 + rate/100). If ₹11,800 includes 18% GST, the base price is ₹10,000.

What are CGST, SGST and IGST?

Within a state, GST is split half CGST (central) and half SGST (state). Sales from one state to another carry the full amount as IGST.

What are the current GST rates?

Under GST 2.0, in force since September 2025, most goods are taxed at 5% or 18%, some luxury and harmful goods at 40%, and gold and silver at 3%. Always check an item’s rate in the official list.
