Here is how a line for noodles and pasta looks on a tax invoice within one state: 500 × pack at Rs 14.00 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noodles and Pasta | 1902 | 500 × pack | 14.00 | 7,000.00 | 175.00 | 175.00 | 7,350.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 350.00 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 19 (Cereal and bakery products) covers: Pasta, noodles, breakfast cereals, bread, biscuits, cakes and similar bakery goods.
