|---|---|---|
| Up to Rs 5 crore | 4 on B2B invoices, optional on B2C | 1507 |

| Export or import | 8 on the shipping bill or bill of entry | From the Customs Tariff, chapter 15 |
Sample GST invoice line for edible oil
Here is how a line for edible oil looks on a tax invoice within one state: 15 × litre tin at Rs 1,950.00 each, taxed at 5%. The figures are an example, not a market price.
| Item | HSN | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Taxable (Rs) | CGST (Rs) | SGST (Rs) | Total (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edible Oil | 1507 | 15 × litre tin | 1,950.00 | 29,250.00 | 731.25 | 731.25 | 30,712.50 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 1,462.50 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.
