GST (Goods and Services Tax)
GST is an indirect tax on goods and services, calculated as a percentage of the sale price, replacing many previous separate taxes in India.
Core concept
GST is calculated as (GST rate ÷ 100) × sale price, added to the original price to get the final price paid by the consumer.
How it works
For example, an item priced at ₹1000 with 18% GST costs: 1000 + (18/100 × 1000) = 1000 + 180 = ₹1180.
Why it matters
GST can be divided into CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) for transactions within a state, each typically being half the total GST rate.
Key detail
Understanding GST calculations is essential for everyday transactions, business accounting, and understanding how taxation works in India.
