GST Rate Comparison Matrix & Tariff Analyzer: Statutory Rules, Formula & Slabs
Direct factual rules, statutory mathematical formulas, and legal compliance limits verified by Empanelled Chartered Accountants.
GST Rate Comparison Matrix & Tariff Analyzer is a free, 100% client-side statutory utility by D BIZ CONSULTANCY PVT. LTD. that computes interactive comparison of Indian GST tariff schedules across 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% slabs with CGST/SGST split and compensation cess guidelines. It operates using the verified formula Intra-State: CGST (Rate / 2) + SGST (Rate / 2) | Inter-State: IGST (Full Rate). All calculations and file parsing execute strictly inside your local web browser with zero server uploads or database storage.
Statutory Rule & Legal Thresholds
Under the CGST Act, SGST Act, and IGST Act 2017, goods and services are classified under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN). Misclassification can trigger demand notices under Section 73 or 74 with 18% annual interest and penalty.
Mathematical Equation & Calculation Logic
For intra-state supplies, tax is apportioned equally between Central and State governments. For inter-state supplies, Integrated GST applies at the composite rate.
