Example: GST on a ₹1,000 sale of bicycles

Taxable value ₹1,000.00. Within your state: CGST ₹25.00 + SGST ₹25.00 = ₹50.00, invoice total ₹1,050.00. To a buyer in another state: IGST ₹50.00, the same total.

How to show it on your invoice

Write the HSN code against each item line: at least 4 digits (8712) if your turnover in the previous year was up to ₹5 crore, 6 digits above that. Charge CGST and SGST when the buyer is in your state and IGST when the place of supply is another state. A GST invoice also needs your GSTIN, the buyer's GSTIN for B2B sales, the invoice number and date, the taxable value and the tax for each rate.
