Frequently Asked Questions

What is GST?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. It replaced multiple indirect taxes such as VAT, service tax, excise duty, etc. GST is a destination-based consumption tax, which means it is collected at the point of consumption rather than the point of origin.
What are the different GST rates in India?
In India, GST is levied at four main rates: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. Additionally, certain essential items are taxed at 0% (Nil rate), and some luxury and sin goods may attract additional cess. The rate applicable depends on the nature of the goods or services being provided.
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?
  • CGST (Central GST): Collected by the central government
  • SGST (State GST): Collected by the state government
  • IGST (Integrated GST): Applicable on inter-state transactions and collected by the central government

For intra-state transactions, the GST is split equally between CGST and SGST. For inter-state transactions, IGST is applied.

How is GST calculated?
GST is calculated as a percentage of the base price of goods or services. For example, if the base price is ₹1,000 and the GST rate is 18%, the GST amount would be ₹180 (18% of ₹1,000), making the final price ₹1,180. For GST-inclusive prices, the calculation involves finding the base price first by dividing the inclusive price by (1 + GST rate).
What is GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive pricing?

GST-exclusive pricing: The quoted price does not include GST, which will be added to arrive at the final price.

GST-inclusive pricing: The quoted price already includes the GST amount, and the base price needs to be calculated by removing the GST component.

GST Registration

Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for certain states) are required to register for GST. Some businesses may need to register regardless of turnover, such as those making inter-state supplies or selling through e-commerce platforms.

Input Tax Credit

One of the key benefits of GST is the provision for Input Tax Credit (ITC). Businesses can claim credit for the tax paid on inputs used in the course of business, which helps in avoiding double taxation and reduces the tax burden.
