Rounded to the paisa. Take the rate from your supplier’s invoice.

How GST inside an MRP is worked out

MRP already includes GST. The taxable value is the MRP divided by (1 + rate), and the rest is the tax. Within a state, half is CGST and half is SGST.

  • ₹105 at 5%: taxable ₹100, GST ₹5
  • CGST ₹2.50 and SGST ₹2.50
  • Another state: IGST ₹5

Adding GST to a price

When a price is before GST — like a supplier’s rate — the tax is the price times the rate, and the total is the two added.

  • ₹100 at 12%: GST ₹12, total ₹112
  • CGST ₹6 and SGST ₹6
