VAT vs GST in India — Key Differences 2026

India replaced VAT (Value Added Tax) with GST (Goods and Services Tax) on 1 July 2017. VAT was a state-level tax; GST is a unified national tax. However, some items are not charged GST today: petrol, high-speed diesel, aviation turbine fuel, natural gas and crude petroleum are taxed by states as VAT instead (the Centre also levies excise duty on fuels), and alcohol for human consumption is outside GST and taxed by states (CGST Act s.9; Constitution Art. 279A(5); Entry 84, Union List). The tax and rate depend on the item and the state, so use the rate on your invoice.

Item	Tax Type	Rate (approx.)
Most goods and services	GST	Depends on the item; check the invoice (see CBIC Notification 9/2025-Integrated Tax (Rate))

Does India still have VAT in 2026?

VAT as a general consumption tax was replaced by GST in 2017. Some items, such as alcohol for human consumption, are taxed by states outside GST. Check the rate on your bill.

How do I calculate VAT inclusive price?

VAT-inclusive price = Base price × (1 + VAT rate/100). Example: Base ₹100 with 10% tax = ₹100 × 1.10 = ₹110. To extract base from a tax-inclusive price: Base = Total ÷ (1 + rate/100) = ₹110 ÷ 1.10 = ₹100.
