Frequently Asked Questions
What GST rates are applicable in India?
India has four main GST rate slabs: 5% (essential goods like packaged food, transport), 12% (processed food, computers, business class air travel), 18% (most services, electronics, capital goods), and 28% (luxury goods, cars, tobacco, aerated drinks). A 0% rate applies to essential items like fresh produce and healthcare.
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?
For intra-state transactions (buyer and seller in the same state), GST is split equally between CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST). For inter-state transactions, IGST (Integrated GST) applies at the full rate. For example, 18% GST on an intra-state sale = 9% CGST + 9% SGST. The same 18% on an inter-state sale = 18% IGST.
How do I remove GST from a price that already includes GST?
Use the "Remove GST from price" mode. The formula is: Base price = Inclusive price × 100 ÷ (100 + GST rate). For example, if the inclusive price is ₹1,180 at 18% GST: Base = 1180 × 100 ÷ 118 = ₹1,000. GST amount = ₹180.
Is GST charged on all goods and services?
No. Several categories are exempt from GST: most fresh and unprocessed agricultural produce, milk, eggs, fresh vegetables, healthcare services by clinics and hospitals, educational services, residential rental (for dwelling purposes), and government services. Petroleum products, alcohol for human consumption, and electricity are currently outside GST and taxed by state VAT/excise.
What is the GST on services?
Most services are taxed at 18% GST. Exceptions include: restaurants (5% without ITC), works contracts for affordable housing (12%), transport services like auto-rickshaws (exempt), aviation services (5% economy, 12% business), and IT exports (zero-rated). Professional services (CA, legal, consulting) are generally taxed at 18%.
