GST on Kota Stone: What Buyers Should Know
Updated 2026-11-15
Kota stone is taxed at 5% GST. How that tax lands on your bill, what to check on freight, and what to ask for on invoices.
GST on Kota stone is 5%
Kota stone is taxed at 5% GST. Whether that 5% is already in the rate you were quoted depends on how the quote was written: an ex-yard rate is usually before tax, while a delivered rate may or may not include it. Ask which one you are holding before you compare two suppliers.
How the 5% lands on your bill
Work the tax on the stone value, then on freight if freight is billed separately. A quote that looks lower per sq ft may simply be excluding the 5%, so compare landed cost — stone, freight, unloading and tax — not the headline rate.
Freight
Ask whether freight is billed separately and how tax applies to it.
Invoices
Businesses should request proper GST invoices for input credit.
