  • Exclusive (adding GST): GST = ₹10,000 × 12 ÷ 100 = ₹1,200.
  • Inclusive (removing GST): base = ₹10,000 × 100 ÷ 112 = ₹8,928.57; GST = ₹10,000 − ₹8,928.57 = ₹1,071.43.

CGST, SGST and IGST split

Within a state, the 12% is split equally into CGST and SGST (UTGST in union territories without a legislature) at 6% each. On a sale to another state, or an import, the full 12% is charged as IGST.

The 12% slab before 22 September 2025

Before 22 September 2025, 12% applied to items such as packaged foods, many medicines, bicycles, tractors and hotel rooms up to ₹7,500. GST 2.0 removed the 12% slab for most goods and services, moving them mainly to 5% (some to nil or 18%). Use these figures for invoices dated before 22 September 2025, and for credit notes or returns that relate to that period.

The rate for a particular item depends on its HSN code (goods) or SAC code (services), so confirm it in the CBIC rate notifications before you invoice.

Questions people ask

What is 12% GST on ₹10,000?

₹1,200. Added to a price of ₹10,000 before tax, the total is ₹11,200. Within a state that is ₹600 CGST plus ₹600 SGST; between states it is ₹1,200 IGST.

How much GST is included in ₹10,000 at 12%?

₹1,071.43. If ₹10,000 already includes 12% GST, the price before tax is ₹10,000 × 100 ÷ 112 = ₹8,928.57, and the GST in it is ₹1,071.43. Taking 12% off ₹10,000 directly (₹1,200) gives the wrong answer.
