What is GST (goods and services tax)?

GST is the tax charged on the sale of goods and services in India. A sale inside one state carries CGST and SGST; a sale to another state carries IGST.

Most online courses and digital services carry 18 percent GST. On CareerByteCode every price is shown as the base price plus 18 percent GST with the all-in total, and the invoice splits it into CGST and SGST (same state) or IGST (other state).

A freelancer or creator has to register for GST only above the turnover threshold or in some special cases; when you sell through your ByteStore, CareerByteCode collects and pays the GST on the sale.

See GSTIN for the registration number, and confirm your own case with your CA.
