Inclusive pricing norm in B2C
Retail MRP and many apps display one number. Dividing by 1.05, 1.12, or 1.18 reveals hidden taxable value and GST.
B2B quotes may still be exclusive—do not reverse if GST is already shown separately.

Restaurant 5% without ITC
AC restaurants often charge 5% GST where credit is blocked. Use 1.05 divisor on those bills, not 18%.
Quick-service and cloud-kitchen receipts from Swiggy and Zomato may show 5% on food delivery—match the rate on each order confirmation before reverse calculation.
MRP and ecommerce inclusive pricing
Amazon.in and Flipkart list prices usually include GST. Reverse before comparing vendor quotes on pretax merchandise value or before booking purchases in accounting software.
B2B tax invoices often show taxable value and GST separately—inclusive mode is unnecessary when the pretax line is already visible on the PDF.
Unpack inclusive totals
Taxable = inclusive ÷ (1 + rate). GST = inclusive − taxable.
Retail chains auditing daily inclusive MRP sales should reverse per slab row in the settlement CSV—not one flat rate on the gross total.
Flipkart and Amazon.in listings show GST-inclusive MRP—unpack before comparing ex-GST vendor quotes or booking purchases in Tally.
