What does GST inclusive mean?

GST inclusive means the price shown already includes the indirect tax amount. The customer pays only the displayed tag price, and the seller remits the tax fraction to the government.

How do you extract 18% GST from a total bill?

Divide the total inclusive price by 1.18 to find the original base price. Subtract that base price from the total bill to get the 18% GST amount.

Why is GST not calculated simply as 18% of the inclusive price?

Because GST is legally levied on the pre-tax base price, not on the gross total. Taking 18% of an inclusive price would overcharge tax on top of tax.

Can businesses claim Input Tax Credit on GST inclusive bills?
