Why you need a GST rate card in your shop

Customers frequently ask “GST kitna lagega?” or assume GST is included. A printed rate list helps you answer fast, reduces billing counter arguments, and improves trust.

Avoid customer confusion

✅ Customers assume GST is included unless stated.
✅ Mixed items have different slabs (0/5/12/18/28).
✅ A printed list reduces disputes in front of other customers.

Build trust & transparency

✅ Clear GST disclosure improves confidence.
✅ Helpful during local transparency checks.
✅ More professional shop experience.

Display guidelines & compliance

Maintain clear display of key details as a best practice for transparency.

Registered businesses are expected to display their Registration Certificate prominently.
GSTIN is commonly displayed on the main signboard.
Composition dealers should display “Composition Taxable Person” on signboards.

FAQs

Keep your poster simple: clear slab, optional HSN, and a visible inclusive/exclusive note.

Is a GST rate card mandatory for retail shops?

A full rate card is not explicitly mandated for every shop under GST. But clear tax disclosure and transparent pricing are a best practice for consumer-facing businesses and can reduce disputes during local checks/inspections.

Should I show prices as GST-inclusive or GST-exclusive?

If customers see a final-looking price (especially for retail goods), they usually assume GST is included. If you charge GST extra, clearly label “GST Extra” / “GST as applicable”. This tool lets you print a clear inclusive/exclusive note.

Do composition dealers need to display GST rates?

Composition dealers cannot collect GST from customers. They should display: “Composition Taxable Person – Not Eligible to Collect Tax.” A rate card with slabs can confuse customers in composition cases.

How often should I update my GST rate card?

Update whenever GST rates/notifications affect your items, when your product mix changes, or when you add categories. A safe habit: review at least once every financial year.

Can I display multiple GST slabs in one shop?

Yes. Mixed-goods shops commonly have 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28% items. The best way is to group items category-wise and clearly show slab + (optional) HSN/SAC.

Is mentioning HSN mandatory on a wall/display rate card?

HSN is primarily invoice-related and turnover-dependent. It’s not mandatory on a wall poster, but including HSN/SAC improves clarity and reduces “wrong-rate” arguments.

Can I charge GST extra even if I display a rate card?

Only if your displayed prices are clearly marked as GST-exclusive. If the display looks like a final price, customers may treat it as GST-inclusive. Label the pricing note prominently.

Does this tool replace billing or accounting software?

No. This tool is for customer-facing display and pricing transparency. Use billing/accounting software for invoices, serial numbering, GSTIN fields, e-invoicing (where applicable), and return compliance.

Tip: Save your PDF/image and reprint whenever your slabs/categories change.
