Sample GST invoice line for adhesive
Here is how a line for adhesive looks on a tax invoice within one state: 20 × kg at Rs 210.00 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adhesive | 3506 | 20 × kg | 210.00 | 4,200.00 | 378.00 | 378.00 | 4,956.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 756.00 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.
