• GST Accounting Entries for Intra State Transactions (i.e. within the State)
Total Input CGST = 16,000+800+3,200 = Rs. 20,000
Total Input SGST = 16,000+800+3,200 = Rs. 20,000
Total output CGST = 24,000
Total output SGST = 24,000
Therefore Net CGST payable = 24,000-20,000 = 4,000 & Net SGST payable = 24,000-20,000 = 4,000
Thus, Output liability of Rs. 48,000 has been adjusted with Input tax credit of Rs. 40,000. So, net tax liability of CGST is Rs. 4,000 and SGST Rs. 4,000

• GST Accounting Entries for Inter State transactions (i.e Outside the State)
Total CGST input =800+1920=2,720
Total CGST output =24,000
Total SGST input =800+1920=2,720
Total SGST output =24,000
Total IGST input =48,000
Total IGST output =32,000
Note: Any IGST credit will first be applied to set off IGST and then CGST. So out of total input IGST of Rs. 48,000, firstly it will be completely setoff against IGST. Then balance Rs. 16,000 against CGST.
From the total liability Rs. 80,000, only Rs. 26,560 is payable
