Tax Breakdown

What is GST?

GST or Goods and Services Tax is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. It replaced older indirect taxes like VAT, excise duty, and service tax, bringing uniformity across the nation.

GST is a destination-based, multi-stage tax system applied at every step of the supply chain. Businesses can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for taxes already paid on purchases.

Goods and services fall under major tax slabs: 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. There are additional special rates like 0.25% and 3%. Certain items like petroleum, alcohol, and electricity lie outside GST.

GST is paid by consumers but collected and submitted to the government by businesses.

GST Structure in India

GST is divided into three categories:

  • CGST – Central GST on intra-state supplies.
  • SGST – State GST on intra-state supplies.
  • IGST – Integrated GST on inter-state supplies.

Example:

If goods worth ₹10,000 are sold within a state at 18% GST:

  • CGST = 9% (₹900)
  • SGST = 9% (₹900)
  • For inter-state supplies → IGST = 18% (₹1,800)

State Taxes Replaced by GST

  • Value Added Tax (VAT)
  • Central Sales Tax (CST)
  • Entry Tax
  • Purchase Tax
  • Entertainment Tax
  • Luxury Tax
  • State cesses & surcharges

Central Taxes Replaced by GST

  • Central Excise Duty
  • Service Tax
  • Additional Customs Duty (CVD)
  • Special Additional Duty (SAD)
  • Central surcharges and cesses

Benefits of GST

  • Eliminates Cascading Effect
    ITC ensures tax is charged only on value addition.
  • Transparency in Taxation
    Online tracking reduces tax evasion.
  • Higher Government Revenue
    More taxpayers added to the system.
  • Reduced Compliance Burden
    Unified tax system replaced multiple return filings.

Basic GST Formula

GST Amount = Taxable Value × GST Rate

Total Price (Including GST) = Taxable Value + GST Amount

Reverse Calculation

GST Amount = Price × Rate / (100 + Rate)

GST Calculation Examples

Example 1: Adding GST

  • Base Price = ₹2,000
  • GST @ 18% = ₹360
  • Total = ₹2,360

Example 2: Removing GST

  • Total Price = ₹2,360
  • Price (Without GST) = ₹2,360 ÷ 1.18 ≈ ₹2,000
  • GST Amount = ₹360
