Frequently Asked Questions

What is GST?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a consumption tax levied on goods and services. In India, it has four slabs: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. Many countries including Australia, Canada, and Singapore also use GST.
What is the difference between CGST and SGST?
CGST (Central GST) is collected by the central government, and SGST (State GST) is collected by the state government for intra-state transactions. Both are half the total GST rate.
How do I remove GST from a total price?
Use "Remove GST" mode and enter the GST-inclusive amount. Formula: Base Price = Total ÷ (1 + GST rate). For example: ₹1,180 at 18% GST → ₹1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000 base price.
Is GST the same as VAT?
They are similar concepts — both are consumption taxes applied at each stage of the supply chain. GST replaced VAT in India in 2017. Australia, NZ, Canada and others use GST; European countries use VAT.

How GST Works and Calculation Methods

Tax-inclusive and exclusive calculation methods, GST rate comparisons, and invoice systems explained.

GST/Consumption Tax Basic Calculation

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a value-added tax on goods and services. To calculate tax-inclusive from exclusive: Tax-inclusive = Tax-exclusive × (1 + rate). For example, ¥1,000 + 10% tax = ¥1,100. Reverse calculation (exclusive from inclusive): Tax-exclusive = Tax-inclusive ÷ (1 + rate), so 1,100 ÷ 1.10 = ¥1,000.

Invoice System (Qualified Invoice)

Japan introduced the invoice system in October 2023. Qualified invoice issuer registration numbers (T + 13 digits) are now required, and qualified invoices are needed to claim input tax credits. Freelancers and small businesses need to carefully consider whether registration is necessary.
