# GST Rate Change Finder: Old vs New GST Rates 2025

The 2025 GST rate reset moved India from the earlier multi-slab feel of 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent into a simpler working structure: nil, 5 percent, 18 percent and a 40 percent demerit rate for selected luxury and sin goods. The change was recommended at the 56th GST Council meeting on 3 September 2025 and implemented from 22 September 2025 for services and for goods other than the deferred tobacco-linked items.

This finder is built for the practical question finance teams ask during rate-master clean-up: what was the old rate, what is the new rate, and how much does that change move the tax on a given taxable value? Pick a high-impact item or service, enter the taxable value, and the page shows the old tax, the new tax and the CGST-SGST or IGST split.

Use this as a working aid for common rate-change buckets, not as a substitute for classification. The final rate depends on the exact HSN or SAC entry, exemptions, conditions such as no-ITC rates, and compensation cess. For a live SKU master, confirm the exact line on the CBIC GST rates portal or the relevant notification before changing billing software.

-   Construction-sector reduction from the 56th GST Council release.
-   The finder estimates GST only on taxable value and does not compute compensation cess.
-   Use the CBIC GST rates portal or the notification text for exact HSN/SAC classification before changing live invoices.

## The formula

Tax impact = Taxable value x (New GST rate - Old GST rate) / 100; Current tax = Taxable value x applicable rate / 100

Old GST rate

The rate that generally applied before the 22 September 2025 rate rationalisation, based on the official rate-change bucket.

New GST rate

The rate recommended by the 56th GST Council and notified for the selected goods or services.

Applicable rate

The old rate before the effective date, the new rate on or after it, except where implementation was deferred for notified tobacco-linked goods.

The finder ignores compensation cess in the rupee impact unless the note for that item says a cess transition or separate levy must be checked.

## How to calculate it

1.  1
    
    ### Choose the closest official bucket
    
    Start with the HSN, SAC or product family that matches your invoice line. The dropdown uses high-impact buckets from the GST Council release and FAQs, so it is useful for rate-master triage before you verify exact classification.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Enter the taxable value
    
    Use the value before GST, not the invoice total. If your price is GST-inclusive, first strip tax out with the GST calculator and then bring the taxable value back here.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Check the date of supply
    
    The new rates generally apply from 22 September 2025. A supply before that date uses the old bucket; a supply on or after that date uses the notified new bucket unless the official transition note keeps the old rate running.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Read the place-of-supply split
    
    For an intra-state supply the current rate is split equally into CGST and SGST or UTGST. For an inter-state supply, import or zero-rated supply, the full rate appears as IGST.
    
5.  5
    
    ### Rebuild the billing master
    
    After a rate falls or rises, update product masters, price lists, e-invoice mappings and POS tax codes. Keep a dated audit trail showing the old rate, new rate and source notification for every changed SKU.
    
6.  6
    
    ### Verify exceptions before filing
    
    No-ITC conditions, MRP rules, compensation cess and sector-specific carve-outs can change the accounting answer even when the headline GST rate looks simple. Confirm material cases with the CBIC rate finder or your Chartered Accountant before filing returns.

-   Old GST = Rs. 1,00,000 x 28% = Rs. 28,000
-   New GST = Rs. 1,00,000 x 18% = Rs. 18,000
-   Tax impact = Rs. 18,000 - Rs. 28,000 = -Rs. 10,000
-   Intra-state supply at 18% splits into 9% CGST and 9% SGST
-   CGST = Rs. 9,000 and SGST = Rs. 9,000 after the rate change

For a Rs. 1,00,000 taxable cement supply after 22 September 2025, GST falls by Rs. 10,000 and the current tax is Rs. 18,000.

## Frequently asked questions

What is the GST Rate Change Finder?

It is a lookup and impact calculator for major 2025 GST rate changes. It shows the old rate, new rate, effective date and tax difference on a taxable value, so a business can quickly identify which product masters, price lists and invoice templates need review.

When did the new GST rates come into force?

The GST Council recommended implementation from 22 September 2025. The date applies to services and to goods other than cigarettes, chewing tobacco products such as zarda, unmanufactured tobacco and bidi, where the older GST and compensation cess treatment continues until a later notified date.

What are the new GST slabs after the 2025 reform?

The working structure is nil, 5 percent, 18 percent and 40 percent. The 5 percent rate is the merit rate, 18 percent is the standard rate, and 40 percent is the demerit rate for selected luxury and sin goods. Some special rates and no-ITC conditions still exist, so exact classification still matters.

Can I use this finder for every HSN code?

No. This page covers common and high-impact rate-change buckets for SEO and practical triage. A real rate master should still be checked against the CBIC GST rates portal, Notification No. 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), exemption notifications and any sector-specific condition that applies to the exact HSN or SAC.

How should invoices around 22 September 2025 be handled?

Use the time-of-supply rules and keep the supply date clear. For supplies before the effective date, the old rate generally applies; for supplies on or after it, the new notified rate applies unless a transition provision says otherwise. Credit notes, debit notes and amended invoices should preserve the old-new rate trail.

What should businesses update after a GST rate change?

Update HSN and SAC masters, ERP tax codes, POS billing rules, e-invoice and e-way bill mappings, price lists, recurring contracts, website catalogs and marketplace listings. Also keep a file that records the source notification, old rate, new rate and date of change for each affected SKU.

Does a lower GST rate automatically mean lower final price?

Not always, because contracts, MRP controls, discounts, input tax credit restrictions and compensation cess can affect the final price. Where the law or sector guidance requires price compliance, keep evidence showing how the revised GST rate was passed through or why the final price moved differently.
