It is a case of intra-state transaction of goods and services: SGST = CGST = GST Given: Listed Price of article by manufacturer = 1600 Discount percentage given by manufacturer to wholesaler = 25% Cost Price for wholesaler = Listed Price - Discount As the sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 5%, so GST comprises of 2.5% as CGST and 2.5% as SGST. Manufacturer sells the article to wholesaler for 1200, amount of GST collected by manufacturer from wholesaler(or paid by wholesaler) CGST = 2.5% of 1200 = 1200 = 30 SGST = 2.5% of 1200 = 1200 = 30 Amount of Input GST of wholesaler: Input CGST = 30 Input SGST = 30 Since the wholesaler sells the article to retailer at a discount of 20% on listed price, the selling price of article by wholesaler (or cost price for retailer) = Listed Price - Discount The amount of GST collected by wholesaler (or paid by retailer): CGST = 2.5% of 1280 = 1280 = 32 SGST = 2.5% of 1280 = 1280 = 32 Amount of output GST of wholesaler(or input GST of retailer): Output CGST = 32 Output SGST = 32 Since the retailer sells the article to consumer at a discount of 5% on listed price, the selling price of article by retailer (or cost price for consumer) = Listed Price - Discount The amount of GST collected by retailer (or paid by consumer): CGST = 2.5% of 1520 = 1520 = 38 SGST = 2.5% of 1520 = 1520 = 38 Amount of output GST of retailer: Output CGST = 38 Output SGST = 38 (i) the price per article inclusive of tax (under GST) which the wholesaler pays. = Cost price of article for wholesaler + CGST paid by wholesaler + SGST paid by wholesaler = 1200 + 30 + 30 = ₹1260 (ii) the price per article inclusive of tax (under GST) which the retailer pays. = Cost price of article for retailer + CGST paid by retailer + SGST paid by retailer = 1280 + 32 + 32 = ₹1344 (iii) the amount which the consumer pays for the article. = Cost price of article for consumer + CGST paid by consumer + SGST paid by consumer =1520 + 38 + 38 = ₹1596 (iv) the tax (under GST) paid by the wholesaler to the State Government for the article. = Output SGST of wholesaler - Input SGST of wholesaler = 32 - 30= ₹2 (v) the tax (under GST) paid by the retailer to the Central Government for the article. = Output CGST of retailer - Input CGST of retailer = 38 - 32= ₹6 (vi) the tax (under GST) received by the State Government. = SGST paid by the manufacturer + SGST paid by the wholesaler + SGST paid by the retailer = 30 + 2 + 6= ₹38
