Goods & Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax applied on the supply of goods and services in India. The tax is divided between Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST) for intra-state transactions, while IGST applies for inter-state transactions.
Reverse GST Calculation helps businesses determine the original price before tax was added. This is useful when you have the final price but need to know the pre-tax amount for accounting or input tax credit purposes.
1. Invoice Requirements: Every GST invoice must include GSTIN, HSN/SAC codes, taxable value, and tax rates.
2. Filing Deadlines: GSTR-1 (outward supplies) is due by the 11th, GSTR-3B (summary return) by the 20th of the following month.
3. Input Tax Credit: You can claim credit for GST paid on business purchases against your GST liability.
