Chisel is the seller of record. The customer buys from Chisel, pays Chisel, and Chisel issues the invoice — not the brand. That is what makes GST Chisel's responsibility.
The one rule that matters
Prices on the site include GST. The tax is taken out of the price shown, never added on top.
A ₹399 product at 18% is:
| Customer pays | ₹399 |
| Taxable value | ₹338.14 |
| GST | ₹60.86 |
The customer is never surprised at checkout, because the price they saw is the price they pay.
What decides the rate
Current defaults: Activewear 12% (5% when the garment is ₹1,000 or less), everything else 18%. Shipping is taxed at 18%.
CGST, SGST and IGST
Chisel is registered in Karnataka. So:
- Customer in Karnataka → the tax splits into CGST + SGST
- Customer anywhere else → the whole tax is IGST
The total is identical either way. Only the split on the invoice changes.
Still to switch on before go-live Coming soon
Two things are outstanding, and both matter:
- The GSTIN is not yet printed on invoices. Chisel's GSTIN (29AAHCC7159G1ZB) has been received, but until it is switched on, invoices are not full Tax Invoices. There is also a question outstanding about which registered address should appear.
- Tax is recorded as zero inside the system. The invoice PDF shows the correct GST breakdown, but the order record itself carries no tax figure. Anything that reads order totals for reporting will show no tax until the India tax region is configured.
Neither is a problem while the shop is on test payments. Both must be closed before real money moves.
