Question
What is IGST? Give an example.

Answer

IGST: It is levied on inter-state sales, i. e. sales of goods and services outside the state. It is also levied on import of goods and services into India and export of goods and services from India. For example, a dealer of Rajasthan sells goods to a dealer in Madhya Pradesh worth 50,000. Suppose, the IGST rate is 12%. In such a case, the seller will charge 36,000 as IGST and this entire amount will go to Central Government.
GST collected under IGST is divided between Central and State Governments as per the rates specified by the Government.
