Base Price = Inclusive Price ÷ (1 + 28/100) = Inclusive Price × 100/128. The GST amount = Inclusive Price − Base Price. Then CGST = SGST = GST ÷ 2 for intra-state, or IGST = full GST for inter-state.
IGST (Integrated GST) applies on inter-state supplies, imports, exports, and supplies to SEZ. CGST + SGST applies on intra-state transactions (buyer and seller in the same state). The total rate remains 28% either way.
