How This Calculation Works
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a destination-based consumption tax. For intra-state transactions (within the same state), GST is split equally into Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). For inter-state transactions (between different states or union territories), Integrated GST (IGST) is levied in full. In exclusive mode, GST is added on top of the base amount. In inclusive mode, reverse GST is extracted using the statutory reverse formula.
