Sample GST invoice line for tissue paper
Here is how a line for tissue paper looks on a tax invoice within one state: 100 × roll at Rs 30.00 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tissue Paper | 4818 | 100 × roll | 30.00 | 3,000.00 | 270.00 | 270.00 | 3,540.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 540.00 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.
