GST rates, CGST/SGST/IGST, TCS, Exempt vs Nil — explained for Indian sellers.
Both have 0% GST but differ in input tax credit treatment. Nil Rated goods are taxable at 0% — suppliers can claim ITC on inputs. Exempt goods are outside the GST net entirely — suppliers cannot claim input tax credit. This distinction matters for your annual return.
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) under Section 52 of the CGST Act requires e-commerce operators — Tradesala, Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho — to collect 1% TCS (0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST) on your net taxable sales before remitting payment. This is deposited to the government on your behalf. You can claim it as a credit in your monthly GSTR-3B.
IGST (Integrated GST) applies on inter-state sales — when seller and buyer are in different states. IGST equals the full GST rate (CGST + SGST combined) charged as a single tax. For intra-state sales, CGST and SGST are each charged at half the total rate. E-commerce sales are typically treated as inter-state unless seller and buyer share the same state.
