GST Rate Explanation
Under the Indian Goods and Services Tax framework, a tax rate of 3% is levied on gold & jewellery. This rate was finalized by the GST Council based on standard industry categories and matching classifications under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN).
Visual Tax Split & Collection Rules
Within State (CGST + SGST)
When supply is within the same state (intrastate), the CGST and SGST are collected. The total tax is split 50/50 between Central and State governments.
Across States (IGST)
When supply spans across states (interstate), a single Integrated GST of 3% is collected in full by the Central government before allocation.
