KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

It is a case of intra-state transaction of goods and services: SGST = CGST = x GST Given: Printed price of the camera = 1600 Rate of discount shopkeeper = 20% Cost Price of camera for shopkeeper = Printed Price - Discount As the sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 12%, so GST comprises of 6% as CGST and 6% as SGST. Wholesaler sells the camera to shopkeeper for 1280, amount of GST collected by wholesaler from shopkeeper(or paid by shopkeeper) CGST = 6% of 1280 = x 1280 = 76.80 SGST = 6% of 1280 = x 1280 = 76.80 Amount of Input GST of Shopkeeper: Input CGST = 76.80 Input SGST = 76.80 Since the Shopkeeper sells the camera to a consumer at printed price, the amount of GST collected by shopkeeper (or paid by consumer): CGST = 6% of 1600 = x 1600 = 96 SGST = 6% of 1600 = x 1600 = 96 Amount of output GST of shopkeeper: Output CGST = 96 Output SGST = 96 (i) GST paid by shopkeeper to the Central Government = CGST paid by shopkeeper to the Central Government = Output CGST - Input CGST = 96 - 76.80 = 19.20 (ii) GST received by the Central Government: = CGST paid by Wholesaler + CGST paid by Shopkeeper =76.80 + 19.20 = 96 (iii) GST received by the State Government: = SGST paid by Wholesaler + SGST paid by Shopkeeper =76.80 + 19.20 = 96 (iv) The amount which the consumer pays for the camera = Cost price of camera + CGST paid by consumer + SGST paid by consumer =1600 + 96 + 96 = 1792
