Check checkbox value in APEX

Hi,

I have a Checkbox (GST__c) on an object called Product2, I want to  check to see if it is checked, if it is checked then apply TAX if not checked don't apply TAX.

This is what i have come up with, do I need to wrap my conditional statement in a function?
Thanks. 
public Product2 product { get {
        if (product == null) { 
            try {
                product = ([Select  GST__c from Product2 where Id = :prodId]);
            } Catch (Exception e) { }
        }
        return product;
    } set; }
    
    public Boolean GSTRequired {get; set;}

if(product.GST__c == true){
  // Tax required
  GSTRequired = true;
} else {
   // Tax not required
   GSTRequired = false;
}

Based on my understanding, If your logic is inside a Class, then yes you need to call it in a method(Call inside a constructor) Else if your logic is inside a method, you need not wrap inside another method.

Yes, Perfect!!
--Glad to help
you can try this as well without writing the logic in the constructor 
public Product2 product { get {
        if (product == null) { 
            try {
                product = ([Select  GST__c from Product2 where Id = :prodId]);
            } Catch (Exception e) { }
        }
        return product;
    } set; }
    
    public Boolean GSTRequired {get{
      if(product.GST__c == true)
     return true;
} set;}
