GST Tax Rates in India

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India operates on a multi-tiered rate structure. The standard GST tax rates applicable to most goods and services are:

  • $5\%$
  • $12\%$
  • $18\%$
  • $28\%$

These rates are designed to cover a wide range of products and services, aiming for a simplified indirect taxation system.

Additionally, certain essential goods are exempted (effectively a $0\%$ rate), and some items fall under special rates or are outside the GST ambit.

Based on the standard applicable slabs, the four main tax rates are $5\%, 12\%, 18\%,$ and $28\%$.
