It is a destination-based indirect tax that replaces many central and state levies. It applies to the supply of goods and services in India and is collected where the final consumption happens. Businesses charge GST on their sales, claim input tax credit on eligible purchases, and pay the net difference to the government.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-the-GST-Rate\"><\/span>What is the GST Rate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The GST Rate refers to the percentage of tax applied to the value of goods and\/or services under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework in India.<\/p>\n<p>When a product is sold or a service is provided, the GST rate determines how much tax the buyer pays and how much revenue the government collects from that transaction. This rate is applied to the transaction value, which typically includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The base price of the goods or services<\/li>\n<li>Any additional charges related to supply (such as packaging, delivery, and installation, if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The GST rate is a critical component of the GST system, as it ensures that the tax burden is shared fairly between consumers and businesses, while also generating the necessary revenue for both the Central Government and State Governments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GST-Reforms-in-2025-Rate-Changes\"><\/span>GST Reforms in 2025: Rate Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On September 22, 2025, India implemented significant GST reforms (\u2018GST 2.0\u2019).
