Best answer

Answer: Taxable value = ₹ 6,000; CGST = SGST = ₹ 840

Let taxable value be ₹ \(x\). Then total price = \(x + \dfrac{28}{100}x = \dfrac{128}{100}x\).

\(\dfrac{128}{100}x = 7680 \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{7680 \times 100}{128} = 6000\)

Total GST = 7680 − 6000 = ₹ 1,680

CGST = SGST = 1680 ÷ 2 = ₹ 840 (14% each).

Common mistake: taking 28% of 7680. GST is on the taxable value, not on the total.
