Examples
FAQs
Do I pay CGST+SGST or IGST?
If supplier and place of supply are in the same State/UT, it’s CGST+SGST/UTGST; if they are in different States/UTs (or imports), it’s typically IGST.
How do I calculate GST when the price already includes GST?
Use: Taxable Value = Price ÷ (1 + rate) and GST = Price − Taxable Value.
What are the most common GST rates I’ll see now?
After the 2025 rate changes, many supplies align around 5% (merit) and 18% (standard), with 40% for select de-merit/luxury items, but exceptions and special rates exist.
Are there special GST rates like 3% or 0.25%?
Yes. Official materials recognize 3% for precious metals and 0.25% for certain unworked diamonds/precious stones, and CBIC rate tables list special-rate entries.
What is GST TDS and when does it apply?
For certain notified deductors (often government/PSU), TDS is 1% under CGST (and similarly under SGST/UTGST), applicable when contract value exceeds ₹2,50,000; it’s calculated on value excluding GST/cess shown on invoice.
What is GST TCS on marketplaces (Amazon/Flipkart, etc.)?
E-commerce operators collect TCS on net taxable supplies. The government notified a reduced 0.5% total rate effective 10 Jul 2024 (0.25%+0.25% for intra-State, or 0.5% IGST inter-State).
Why can my result differ from the actual invoice by ₹1–₹2?
Invoices may round per line-item; statutory rounding rules can also apply (nearest rupee for payable/refundable amounts).
Do all businesses charge GST on invoices?
Not always (e.g., composition taxpayers generally do not collect GST as a separate line item). If your seller is under such a scheme, the invoice may be a bill of supply with no GST line.
Is the registration threshold the same everywhere in India?
No. Thresholds differ by goods vs services and some special category states; GST Council flyers summarize thresholds (e.g., ₹40 lakh for certain goods cases; ₹20 lakh for services in many cases, with lower thresholds in specified states).
Does compensation cess still exist?
Some categories have had distinct treatment and timing (notably specified tobacco-related goods where existing GST + cess continued pending later notification). Use the cess toggle if your invoice includes it.
