GST Calculator for Coaching & Tuition Fees
Compute 18% GST on commercial coaching invoices — or back-calculate taxable value from a GST-inclusive fee.
- Taxable coaching fee = ₹10,000
- GST @ 18% = ₹10,000 × 0.18 = ₹1,800
- CGST 9% = ₹900; SGST 9% = ₹900 (intra-state) — or IGST 18% = ₹1,800 (inter-state)
- Invoice total = ₹11,800
- Applies to commercial coaching/tuition (SAC 999293, Notification 11/2017). Formal school education is typically exempt (Entry 66, Notification 12/2017) — confirm with your tax advisor.
GST on coaching vs school education
18% on commercial coaching (SAC 999293)
Commercial coaching and training services are generally taxed at 18% under SAC 999293, as classified in Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and related GST rate notifications. Intra-state invoices typically split CGST 9% + SGST 9%; inter-state uses IGST 18%.
Services by an educational institution by way of education up to higher secondary (and certain related services) are exempt under Entry 66 of Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate). Formal school tuition is usually in that exempt bucket; private coaching centres usually are not. Confirm classification with a tax professional — this calculator does not give a legal opinion.
