GST (Goods and Services Tax) is an indirect tax used in India on the supply of goods and services. It is divided into CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) or IGST (Integrated GST) depending on inter-state or intra-state trade.

How is inclusive GST calculated?

To remove GST from a price (inclusive calculation): Pre-Tax Amount = Total Price / (1 + GST Rate / 100). The GST Amount = Total Price - Pre-Tax Amount.

What is the difference between CGST and SGST?

For intra-state transactions, the GST is divided equally between the Central Government (CGST) and State Government (SGST) based on the designated tax slab.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. It is the global equivalent of GST.

Net Pre-Tax Amount = Total Price / (1 + (Tax Rate / 100))
Tax Amount = Total Price - Net Pre-Tax Amount
