Question

The taxable price of a water purifier is Rs. 8000. The rate of CGST is 6%. Find the total GST printed in the tax invoice.

Answer 1

Given: Taxable price = Rs. 8,000; CGST rate = 6% for intra‑state supply SGST = CGST, so total GST rate = CGST + SGST = 6% + 6% = 12%.

Step-wise calculation:

1. CGST = 6% of 8,000

= `6/100 xx 8000`

= Rs. 480

2. SGST = Same as CGST

= Rs. 480

3. Total GST = CGST + SGST

= 480 + 480

= Rs. 960

The total GST printed in the tax invoice is Rs. 960, so the invoice total = Rs. 8,000 + Rs. 960 = Rs. 8,960.
