A dealer in Delhi buys fertiliser for ₹16000 from a wholesaler in Delhi. He sells it to a farmer in Rajasthan at a profit of 25%. If the rate of GST is 5%, find:
(i) the tax (under GST) paid by the wholesaler to Governments.

(iii) the amount which the farmer pay for the fertiliser.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(i) As the dealer in Delhi buys the fertiliser for ₹16000 from a wholesaler in Delhi, so this sale is intra-state. Rate of GST is 5%. So GST comprises of CGST at 2.5% and SGST at 2.5% CGST collected by the wholesaler = 2.5% of 16000 = x 16000 = ₹400 SGST collected by the wholesaler = 2.5% of 16000 = x 16000 = ₹400 ∴ Amount of tax paid by the wholesaler to the Central and State Governments: CGST = ₹400 to the Central government and SGST = ₹400 to the Delhi government (ii) Selling price of the fertiliser by the dealer to the farmer = Purchase price + Profit As the dealer sells the fertiliser to a farmer in Rajasthan, so this sale is inter-state. Rate of GST is 5%. So, on this sale IGST is levied at 5%. IGST collected by the dealer from the farmer = 5% of 20000 = x 20000 = ₹1000 Input GST of the dealer = CGST + SGST = ₹400 + ₹400 = ₹800 Output GST of the dealer = IGST = ₹1000 Net tax liability of the dealer = Output GST - Input GST = ₹1000 - ₹800 = ₹200 ∴ The dealer pays ₹200 IGST to the Central Government. (iii) The total amount paid by the farmer = Selling price of the fertiliser + GST paid by the farmer = ₹20000 + IGST collected by the dealer = ₹20000 + ₹1000 = ₹21000
