Recently the Indian government introduced GST tax in the market to replace all those different taxes and bunch them together under a single tax class. This tax is popularly known as GST – Goods and Services Tax, “One Nation One Tax”. It’s a common indirect tax for the whole nation applied right from the manufacturer to the consumer to make India a unified market. A robust and comprehensive IT system would be required to implement GST regime in India. Whole Ecommerce community is in a race to quick implement the tax rule to streamline with this new GST tax.
When it comes to Ecommerce, how can Magento be behind in this race to the win? As per the Magento, considering its popularity and usability in market, more than 250000 stores run on this platform. Being the ruling Magento developers, we have come with the easy guide to create GST tax rule in Magento to quick start implementing GST to your Magento products and services.
Let’s learn to create GST tax rule in Magento
- First of all, create a new product tax class to easily identify while applying GST tax to the products. Go to Sales > Tax > Product Tax Classes and click on “Add New”. Name your tax class as GST to easily identify it while applying tax rules to products.
- Create tax rates for both SGST and CGST. Indian goods and services have been classified under 4 tax rates, those are 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Take a look at tax rates to find your products fall under which category. Here, we are implementing the tax rule on one of the clients selling fish & meats and thus their products fall under GST rates of 5% and thus we need to create SGST and CGST tax rules for 5%.
Go to Sales > Tax > Manage Tax Zones & Rates and click to Add New Tax Rate, and create tax rates for both CGST and SGST.Know that CGST and SGST are equally divided to half of the amount of tax rate. As per the rule declaration, store owners and sellers also need to bifurcate CGST and SGST taxes separately in the order details and invoices. So if the tax rate is 5%, you need to create SGST with 2.5% and CGST with 2.5% tax rates to show them separately in invoice.
To bifurcate GST taxes to show separately in all the order related documents, go to app\design\frontend\base\default\template\tax\order\tax.phtml,
Find below code:getValueProperties()?> rowspan=" 1 ">
Copy the whole file and paste at app\design\frontend\[theme_package]\template\tax\order And replace code as shown below:
getValueProperties()?> rowspan=" 1 ">
Now go to System -> Sales -> Tax -> Shopping Cart Display Setting and set Yes to Display Full Tax Summary.
- Create new tax rules from Sales > Tax > Manage Tax Rules. Click on Create New and set each options as shown below.Once you create and save both the rules, you can see them enlisted.
- Now once you have created and saved GST tax rates and rules, you need to assign the tax class to your products. Here, we have only created tax rates for 5% but if you have wide range of products those fall under various tax rates, you need to create rates and rules for all and assign the related class to the products.
- So we are done with creating GST tax rules in Magento and once it’s assigned to the products, you can see the detailed tax charges with the bifurcation of SGST and CGST taxes in cart, checkout, invoice, credit memo, shipment, my account order view and Emails.
Understanding GST and creating tax rules in Magento is not rocket science but proper implementation can only lead to exact rules implementation and tax assignments. Above, I have tried to properly elaborate rules configuration along with the government terms and norms. Still if you have any questions or confusions regarding creating GST tax rules in Magento, don’t hesitate to contact me through commenting, I’ll be happy to help.

Hi
Its a great blog which helped me to implement GST to my magento website.Just Amazing.
But at the final step, ie., 5th point, am getting shipping and handling price and tax price but the bifurcation of SGST and CGST taxes are not shown.
At 4th point, Just INR is shown below the price and not the tax.
Can you help me to sort this out please…
To bifurcate GST taxes to show separately in all the order related documents,
go to appdesignfrontendbasedefaulttemplatetaxordertax.phtml,
Follow steps mentioned in blog.
For 4th point Query, You need to change following setting in System > configuration > Sales > Tax Calculation Setting > Catalog Prices Set to Including Tax
after that you can see Tax price in Product Price tab in backend
step 5: have done the same as shown, but no changes
step 4: Updated but its not showing the tax amount, but just showing [INR] [Inc. Tax]

Hey,
You can use a CSV file for Bulk product updates rather than adding each product one by one in the admin panel. Make a CSV file with two columns “sku” and “tax_class_id”
Regards,
Thanks for the support
Hey,
I have followed your step which you mentioned above, My theme supports the base file for taxation, so I have modified the base file. (appdesignfrontendbasedefaulttemplatetaxordertax.phtml)
<td getValueProperties()?> rowspan=” 1 “>
formatPrice($amount / ($percent/(float)$rate[‘percent’]) ); ?>
but still CGST AND SGST tax isn’t showing separate just “TAX” showing and also back-end price showing [INR] [Inc. Tax]
Thanks in advance
Regards,
This is what even am getting…
Just waiting for some help to sort it out soon.

Nice post. Thanks! But this is not enough for setting up GST.
If transaction is inter-state we need to levy IGST. This is not possible in your solution I guess.
Also you have not mentioned the concept of HSNs.
We have launched GST extension for Magento1 for enhanced functionality of GST.
Take a look at,

It’s Works perfect. Thank you. but I need one help from you all. I am new to Magento. I created one E-commerce website using Magento 1.9 version. I assigned free shipping for particular products and also assigned “Shipping rates for other products using Tablerates” based on weight vs destination. While select product from both the criterias. It accept free shipping only not Tablerates. Kindly check the below link and let me know, is their any possibility to avoid conflict of free shipping and tablerates. Because we want free shipping only for applied products if i select free shipping product and other non free shipping products means it should show shipping rates not zero rate.
