Sample GST invoice line for computer
Here is how a line for computer looks on a tax invoice within one state: 5 × desktop set at Rs 38,000.00 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computer | 8471 | 5 × desktop set | 38,000.00 | 1,90,000.00 | 17,100.00 | 17,100.00 | 2,24,200.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 34,200.00 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.
