Question 1

What is GST?

Accepted Answer

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a single indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services across India. It replaced multiple older taxes such as VAT, service tax, and excise duty, making the system simpler and more transparent.

Question 2

How do I know which GST rate applies?

Accepted Answer

The rate depends on the product or service category. Most services fall under 18%, while everyday goods range from 5% to 12%. Luxury and demerit items attract 28%. The government periodically updates the rate schedule.

Question 3

Can I use a custom rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The calculator includes a custom-rate field so you can enter any percentage — useful for cess calculations or non-Indian tax regimes.

Question 4

Is 'remove GST' the same as 'find original'?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both perform the same calculation. Enter the GST-inclusive price and the rate, and you will see the base price and the exact tax amount.
