The Goods and Service Tax (GST) is an important part of the Indian taxation system. The introduction of GST subsumed several other indirect taxes that were levied earlier, including VAT, service tax, central tax, and more. GST is applicable to most services and products in the country, including laptops and computers. Read on to know more about everything related to the applicable GST rate on laptops.

GST Rates on Laptops and Computer Accessories

The GST rate applicable to the goods and services in the country are determined by the GST Council. The government takes measures to lower the applicable rate of GST on a given product when the GST revenue collection surpasses the projections. The applicable rates are constantly altered based on the suggestions and approval of the members of the GST Council. The officials monitor and consider the ongoing scenario within the country when approving the applicable rate of interest.
