What is the GST rate on dishwashers

The GST rate on dishwashers is now 18%, and this applies to both imported and locally made models. This rate is part of the standard tax group for most electronic items. When purchasing a dishwasher, the GST is calculated on the sale price, which includes the base price and any applicable discounts. For instance, if a dishwasher is priced at Rs. 30,000 and a discount of Rs. 5,000 is applied, the GST will be calculated on the discounted price of Rs. 25,000.

It is important to know that imported dishwashers may also have extra customs duties, which can make them more expensive. Dishwashers made in India only have the 18% GST added, so they usually cost less compared to imported ones.

How to calculate GST on dishwashers

Calculating GST on dishwashers is simple and can be done using the following formula:

GST Amount = (Base Price × GST Percentage) ÷ 100

For example, if the base price of a dishwasher is Rs. 25,000 and the GST rate is 18%, the calculation would be:

GST Amount = (25,000 × 18) ÷ 100 = Rs. 4,500

The total cost, including GST, would then be Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 29,500.
