Zoho People bills in INR, so you skip the forex markup a dollar-priced tool adds on every charge. GST still applies, but a registered business reclaims it as input credit.
18% GST applies, but it is not a flat add-on. A GST-registered business reclaims it as input credit, and foreign B2B is reverse-charged so the vendor bills no GST. Only an unregistered buyer bears the full 18%, and some Indian vendors already include it.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site. Pricing last verified Jul 29, 2026.
