The BestWay India GST Rate Finder (Updated September 2025)

The council has approved a risk-based system to sanction 90% of refund claims on a provisional basis for both zero-rated supplies (exports) and inverted duty structures. This will speed up cash flow for businesses. This comes into effect on November 1, 2025.

A new optional and simplified registration scheme will be introduced. It offers automated registration within three working days for low-risk applicants and those with an estimated output tax liability under ₹2.5 lakh per month.

A simplified registration mechanism is being developed for small suppliers who sell through e-commerce operators across different states. This aims to remove the need to have a principal place of business in each state.

The rules for claiming GST benefits on post-sale discounts have been simplified. The requirement to have the discount specified in a pre-supply agreement is being removed. Clarifications will be issued to reduce legal disputes regarding ITC reversal and other treatments.

For items like Pan Masala, Gutkha, and Tobacco, GST will now be calculated based on the retail sale price (RSP) instead of the ex-factory value to curb tax evasion.

Simply type the name of the product (e.g., "laptop") or its HSN code (e.g., "8471") into the search bar above. Our tool will show you the corresponding master category, its GST rate, and a list of specific tariff items.

HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an 8-digit code used to classify goods for customs and GST purposes. SAC (Services Accounting Code) is a 6-digit code used to classify services. Our tool allows you to search by either code.

Several items are kept outside the GST regime, including alcohol for human consumption, petroleum products (petrol, diesel, etc.), and electricity. These are taxed separately by state and central governments.
