What is Goods and Services Tax (GST)?
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a unified, destination-based indirect tax levied on the supply of most goods and services in India. Launched on July 1, 2017, it replaced a complex web of state and central taxes such as VAT, Service Tax, Central Excise, and Octroi. It aims to create a single common market and remove the cascading effect of double taxation.
GST Calculation Formula
The mathematical formula depends on whether you are adding or removing the tax:
• P: The input price or base value
• R: The GST tax rate percentage
Example Calculation
Suppose you buy a laptop for ₹50,000 (pre-tax) and the tax slab is 18%:
- GST Amount = 50,000 × (18 / 100) = ₹9,000
- Total Net Price = 50,000 + 9,000 = ₹59,000
- CGST = ₹4,500 (9%) and SGST = ₹4,500 (9%)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax used in India on the supply of goods and services. It is a destination-based tax levied on every value addition, replacing multiple former indirect taxes like excise duty, VAT, and services tax.
How do I calculate GST on my own?
To Add GST: GST Amount = Original Cost * (GST% / 100), and Net Price = Original Cost + GST Amount. To Remove GST: Original Cost = Net Price / (1 + (GST% / 100)), and GST Amount = Net Price - Original Cost.
What are CGST and SGST?
Under dual GST in India, for intra-state transactions (within the same state), GST is split equally between the Central Government as CGST (Central GST) and the State Government as SGST (State GST). For inter-state transactions, a single IGST (Integrated GST) is charged by the Centre.
