Intra State vs Inter State

For understanding the concept of IGST, CGST, and SGCT which are the different types of GST, it is important to know difference between intra state vs inter-state supply of service and goods under the GST. It is important to differentiate every transaction between intra state vs inter-state for determining IGST, CGST, and SGCT would be applicable or not.

For determining if there will be intra state or inter-state, location of supplier and place of supply should be figured out.

Inter State Supply

Inter State Supply for services and goods is one in which the location of the supplier and place of supply are located in different state. Along with this the services or goods are done by or to an SEZ unit or SEZ developer. Supply when supplier is located in India and the location of supply is outside of India. Supply is in the course of imports of services or goods and any supply is not covered in the intra state is considered as an inter-state supply. This will mark the end of indirect tax changes.

Intra State Supply

If the place of sale is in the same state as that of manufacturer then the intra-state will be applicable. Intra-state supply will not include supply of services or goods to SEZ developers, units, exports or imports.

How IGST, SGST and CGST will calculate taxes?

For the purpose of calculating State GST tax and Central GST tax or intra state supply following illustrations will show you:

For the purpose of understanding the State GST and Central GST tax here is a fictional example. Let us assume that there is an Almond trader belonging to the Mumbai, Maharashtra who sells Almonds of Rs. 1 lakh to a show trader who is located inside the Pune, Maharashtra.

Now, State GST and Central GST is of 6% each. This means tax of Rs. 6000 will be applicable for Central GST and State GST considering the value of the products. Trader will then have to deposit the CGST inside the Central Government account. On the other hand the trader will have to pay SGST in the State Government account.

Following example will show you what methods are used for calculation the IGST for inter-state supply:

Consider that the same almond trader who is located in the Mumbai, Maharashtra sells almonds of Rs. 1 Lakh to a trader who has his shop in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. In such cases the rate of Integrated GST tax is 12%. Almond trader will be charged for IGST of Rs. 12,000 based on the value of the product. Trader will have to do GST filing for Integrated GST tax in account of Central Government.
