Here is how a line for perfume looks on a tax invoice within one state: 24 × bottle at Rs 450.00 each, taxed at 18%. The figures are an example, not a market price.
| Item | HSN | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Taxable (Rs) | CGST (Rs) | SGST (Rs) | Total (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perfume | 3303 | 24 × bottle | 450.00 | 10,800.00 | 972.00 | 972.00 | 12,744.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 1,944.00 instead of CGST and SGST. Make the full invoice with the GST invoice format: it fills in the tax split, round off and amount in words.
Chapter 33 (Perfumes and cosmetics) covers: Essential oils, perfumes, make up, hair care, oral care and other toilet preparations.
