The GST is calculated on the turnover of a company. To get the turnover of a company the total value of taxable supplies, exempt supplies, export of goods or services, and inter-state supplies. Then they need to find out the cost of the value of the inward supplies, the value of supplies that are taxable under reverse charge, and the value of non-taxable supplies.

The excise duty is calculated after the calculation is done of the turnover of the company. To calculate the indirect tax the company has to follow the percentage that is levied in the state they function in and pay accordingly. The service tax  is the Original cost of goods multiplied by the Good and Services Tax percentage and then divided by 100 to get the tax amount that needs to be paid.

(Original Cost X GST Percentage)/100 = GST amount.
