What is the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?

CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) are levied on intra-state (within the same state) transactions — each is half of the applicable GST rate. IGST (Integrated GST) is levied on inter-state transactions at the full applicable rate. For example, at 18% GST for an intra-state sale: CGST = 9% + SGST = 9%. For inter-state: IGST = 18%.

What is GST-inclusive vs GST-exclusive pricing?

GST-exclusive (or tax-exclusive) means the GST is added on top of the listed price. For example, a product priced at ₹1,000 (exclusive) at 18% GST = ₹1,180 total. GST-inclusive (tax-inclusive) means the GST is already included in the listed price. A product priced at ₹1,180 (inclusive) at 18% GST means the base price is ₹1,000 and GST is ₹180.

What are the GST rate slabs in India?

India has four primary GST rate slabs: 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Essential goods and services attract 5% or are exempt (0%). Most processed goods and standard services attract 12% or 18%. Luxury goods, demerit goods and some services attract 28%. Additionally, a GST Compensation Cess may apply on top of 28% for certain goods.

Do I need to register for GST?
