Rao & Co. (Hyderabad) supplied goods worth Rs 3,00,000 (exclusive of tax) at 5% GST, intra-State, and later issued a credit note of Rs 20,000 (value before tax) for sales returns within the same month, which is eligible for adjustment. What is the net output GST (CGST + SGST combined) after adjusting the credit note?

Original output GST is 5% of Rs 3,00,000, which is Rs 15,000. The eligible credit note for Rs 20,000 reduces the tax by Rs 1,000, so net output GST is Rs 14,000, split equally between CGST and SGST.

Explanation

Original GST = 3,00,000 x 5% = 15,000. Credit note tax = 20,000 x 5% = 1,000. Net = 14,000. Rs 15,000 ignores the credit note; Rs 1,000 is only the credit note tax.
