Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?
If the transaction is within one state (Intra-state), tax is split into CGST (Central Govt) and SGST (State Govt). If the transaction happens between two different states (Inter-state), the full amount is called IGST.
How do I calculate GST Inclusive amount manually?
To find the tax inside a final price: GST Amount = Price - [Price / (1 + Rate/100)]. This is often called the 'reverse gst' method.
