Question

A person buys a table whose list price is ₹ 20000 from a dealer at a discount of 20%. The rate of GST is 12%. Find: 

1. the amount of tax (under GST) paid by the person.
2. the total amount paid by the person.

Answer 1

Given: 

List price = ₹ 20,000

Discount = 20%

GST rate = 12%

20% of 20,000 = ₹ 4,000

Price after discount = 20,000 – 4,000 

= ₹ 16,000

(i) 12% of 16,000 = ₹ 1,920

(ii) 16,000 + 1,920 = ₹ 17,920
