Goods taxed at 18%
The standard rate, and the largest slab in the schedule by code count. Most manufactured goods sit here: machinery, electrical equipment, electronics, chemicals, plastics, industrial inputs, and the majority of what a business buys to run itself.
3,079 tariff codes of the HSN to GST schedule mapping are mapped to 18% GST, across 40 chapters of the tariff, led by nuclear reactors, boilers, iron and steel and electrical machinery and equipment.
If nothing more specific applies, 18% is where a manufactured good lands. Input tax credit runs normally under Section 16 of the CGST Act, which is part of why the standard rate is often the cheaper position overall for a registered buyer.

Chapters with goods at 18%
Every chapter of the tariff that carries at least one code at this rate, with how many, grouped by the section it belongs to. The count is codes mapped to 18%, not the size of the chapter, so it reads as how much of this slab each product family accounts for.
What the schedule taxes at 18%
Thousands of 8-digit tariff items collapse onto a few hundred schedule entries, so this is the notification's wording rather than the tariff's, with the number of codes that hang off each entry. An entry marked conditional applies only where its condition is met.

18% GST questions
Which goods are taxed at 18% GST?
3,079 tariff codes of the HSN to GST schedule mapping are mapped to 18% GST, across 40 chapters of the tariff, led by nuclear reactors, boilers, iron and steel and electrical machinery and equipment. If nothing more specific applies, 18% is where a manufactured good lands. Input tax credit runs normally under Section 16 of the CGST Act, which is part of why the standard rate is often the cheaper position overall for a registered buyer.
How is 18% split between CGST and SGST?
For a supply within one state the rate splits equally: 9% CGST and 9% SGST or UTGST. For a supply between two states the whole 18% is charged as IGST instead. Compensation cess, where an entry attracts it, is charged over and above this.
Can the same HSN code carry more than one rate?
Yes, and it is common. Many schedule entries are conditional on sale value, packing, branding or end use, so one 8-digit code can appear at two slabs. Every code page in this directory shows all the schedule rows mapped to it, with the condition against each, rather than picking one for you.
Do I get input tax credit at 18%?
Yes, on the normal conditions of Section 16 of the CGST Act: you hold a tax invoice, you have received the goods, the supplier has paid the tax and filed the return, and the credit is not blocked under Section 17(5).
Did this rate change on 22 September 2025?
The 56th GST Council rationalised the slab structure with effect from 22 September 2025, withdrawing the 12% and 28% slabs for most goods and creating a 40% demerit rate. The rates on this page are reproduced from the published schedule mapping named below. Always verify the current rate for your product on the CBIC portal before invoicing.
What is the difference between an HSN code and a SAC code?
HSN codes classify goods and SAC codes classify services. If you supply goods you quote an HSN code on the invoice, and if you supply services you quote a SAC code. A business that supplies both uses each on the respective invoice lines, and both go into the same HSN and SAC summary table of GSTR-1.
