What is SGST/CGST/IGST?
There are 3 types of GST you can see on new bills. The GST that will be collected by the Centre on intra-state supply of goods and/or services is Central GST (CGST) and that by the States is State GST (SGST).
On inter-state supply of goods and services, Integrated GST (IGST) will be collected by Centre. IGST will also apply on imports.
GST is a consumption based tax i.e. the tax should be received by the state in which the goods or services are consumed and not by the state in which such goods are manufactured. IGST is designed to ensure seamless flow of input tax credit from one state to another. One state has to deal only with the Centre government to settle the tax amounts and not with every other state, thus making the process easier.
For e.g.: – A dealer A in Kerala sold goods to the consumer in Karnataka worth Rs. 5,000. The GST rate is 18% comprising of CGST rate of 9% and SGST rate of 9%, in such case the dealer collects Rs. 600 and Rs. 450 will go to the central government and Rs. 450 will go to the Kerala government.
Now, if the dealer in Kerala had sold goods to a dealer in Tamil Nadu worth Rs. 1,00,000. The GST rate is 18% comprising of CGST rate of 9% and SGST rate of 9%. In such case the dealer has to charge Rs. 18,000 as IGST. This IGST will go to the Centre.
