Question

5. A dealer buys an article for 6000 from a wholesaler. The dealer sells the arade
consumer at 15% profit. If the sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 18%, find the tax liability of the shopkeeper​

Answer 1

Answer:

We have,

Initial marked price by manufacturer A is Rs. 6000

Then, B bought the T.V. at a discount of 20%.

Now, Cost price of B = 80% of 6000 = Rs. 4800

And, GST paid by B for purchase = 18% of 4800 = Rs. 864

Again, B sells T.V. at discount of 10% of market Price

So, the Selling price for B = 6000 – 10% of 6000 = Rs. 5400

And, GST charged by B on selling of T.V. = 18% of 5400

= Rs. 972

Thus, GST paid by B to the government

= GST charged on selling price – GST paid against purchase price

= 972 – 864

= Rs. 108
