Prasad purchased a washing-machine from 'Maharashtra Electronic Goods'. The discount of 5% was given on the printed price of Rs. 40,000. Rate of GST charged was 28%. Find the purchase price of washing machine. Also find the amount of CGST and SGST shown in the tax invoice.
Discount = 5% of 40, 000 = Rs. 2000
∴ Taxable value of washing machine = 40,000 – 2000 = Rs. 38, 000
Given, rate of GST = 28%
We know that CGST and SGST are components of GST.
CGST is always equal to SGST
i.e. GST = CGST + SGST
Let CGST and SGST be x.
Then GST = x + x
⇒ 28 = 2x
⇒ x = 14%
∴ CGST, SGST = 14%
∴ CGST = 14% of 38, 000 = Rs. 5320
∴ SGST = Rs. 5320
∴ Purchase price of washing machine = 38000 + 5320 + 5320
= Rs. 48, 640
