How Much Can the GST Reduction Make a Difference?

Suppose the taxable price of a tractor is Rs 8 lakh. At 12% GST, the tax would have been Rs 96,000. At the current 5% tractor GST rate, the GST would be Rs 40,000. That means the GST component is Rs 56,000 lower, assuming the same taxable price.

Tractor GST Rate vs GST on Agricultural Implements

Tractors and agricultural implements do not necessarily have the same GST classification. Several agricultural machinery categories have also received favourable GST treatment, but the applicable rate depends on the specific product and HSN classification.


So, if you are purchasing a Solis tractor along with a rotavator, cultivator, plough, trolley or other implement, check the GST applicable to each item separately.

How to Calculate Tractor On-Road Price After GST

The tractor on-road price after GST generally includes more than the tractor's taxable value and GST.

Your final quotation may include:

  • Ex-GST tractor price

  • GST

  • Insurance

  • Registration charges

  • Road tax, wherever applicable

  • Accessories and optional equipment

  • Other applicable charges

For example, if an eligible tractor has a taxable value of Rs 8 lakh:

Rs 8,00,000 + 5% GST (Rs40,000) = Rs 8,40,000

Insurance, registration and other applicable charges would be added to arrive at the final on-road price.
