Question 1

What is GST?

Accepted Answer

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a unified indirect tax levied in India on the supply of goods and services. It replaced multiple cascading taxes and has been applicable since July 1, 2017. GST rates are 0%, 3%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.

Question 2

What is the difference between GST exclusive and inclusive?

Accepted Answer

GST Exclusive means the entered price is before GST — the GST amount is added on top. GST Inclusive means the entered price already includes GST — the calculator will extract the base price and GST component from the total.

Question 3

What is CGST and SGST?

Accepted Answer

For intra-state (within the same state) transactions, GST is split equally between Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). For inter-state transactions, the full GST amount is charged as IGST (Integrated GST).

Question 4

What are the GST rate slabs in India?

Accepted Answer

India has six GST slabs: 0% (essential items like fresh vegetables, milk), 3% (gold, silver), 5% (packaged food, textiles), 12% (processed food, mobile phones), 18% (most services, electronics), and 28% (luxury goods, automobiles).

Question 5

How do I calculate the price without GST?

Accepted Answer

To remove GST from an inclusive price: Base Price = Total Price × 100 ÷ (100 + GST Rate). For example, a ₹1,180 item with 18% GST has a base price of ₹1,180 × 100 ÷ 118 = ₹1,000.
