Formula
- R = GST rate in percent
- Intra-state: CGST = SGST = R/2 each
- Inter-state: IGST = full R
How It Works
In add mode, the amount you enter is the taxable value and GST is added on top. In remove mode, the amount already includes GST, so the base is back-calculated by dividing by (100 + rate) and multiplying by 100 β not by simply subtracting the rate, which is the most common error.
For supplies within the same state, GST is split equally into Central GST and State GST. For supplies across states, the entire amount is Integrated GST.
Worked Example
Add GST: Base βΉ10,000 at 18% β GST = 10,000 Γ 0.18 = βΉ1,800 β total = βΉ11,800
Intra-state: CGST βΉ900 + SGST βΉ900 · Inter-state: IGST βΉ1,800
Remove GST: Total βΉ11,800 at 18% β base = 11,800 Γ 100/118 = βΉ10,000 β GST = βΉ1,800
Note that 11,800 β 18% = βΉ9,676, which is wrong β the reverse calculation must use 100/(100+R).
Engineering Notes
