GST rates — common questions
Two main slabs — 5% (merit) and 18% (standard) — plus 40% for luxury and sin goods, with special rates of 0%, 0.25% and 3%. The old 12% and 28% slabs were removed for almost all goods from 22 September 2025.
From 1 February 2026, when the GST compensation cess ended. Cigarettes, pan masala, gutkha and chewing tobacco now attract 40% GST plus a separate excise duty or cess outside GST; bidis attract 18%.
Standalone restaurants charge 5% without input tax credit. Restaurants in hotels where any room is priced above ₹7,500 a night charge 18% with credit.
No — it is a guide for common items. The rate depends on the exact HSN/SAC code, the description and conditions in the notification. Check the classification before invoicing, especially for mixed or composite supplies.
