What is Inter State GST and Intra State supply under GST?

All you need to know on  Inter-State Supply and Intra State Supply Under GST

Whether a supply is classified as an Intra State GST or Inter-State Supply is determined by the location of the supplier and the location of the supplied. The nature of the supply must be determined in order to determine whether integrated tax or Central plus State tax must be paid. The term “Inter-State Supply of Products” refers to a supply of goods where the supplier and the recipient are in different states or union territories.

 

Intra-State delivery of products, on the other hand, refers to goods delivered to a location within the same State or Union area as the supplier. In this article information such as “What is an Intrastate supply?”, “What is an Inter-State Supply?”, Intrastate vs Interstate will be included.

 

What is an Interstate supply?

When the provider and the place of supply are in different states, this is referred to as inter-state supply. The transaction is also presumed to be Inter-State when goods or services are exported or imported, or when products or services are supplied to or by an SEZ unit.

What is an Intrastate Supply?

Intra State supply of products or services occurs when the supplier’s location and the place of supply, i.e., the buyer’s location, are both in the same state. A vendor must collect both CGST and SGST from the customer in intra-state transactions.

  • As per the GST Act, Inter stat supply means the transportation of goods or services between the state and union territory.
  • Before they reach the customs station, products delivered to India are frequently referred to as an Inter-State Supply.
  • Inter-State Supplies are the transportation of products and services from or to an exclusive economic zone or a specific development zone.

Points to remember for Intra State Supply

  • A seller must collect both the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) and the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) from a buyer in Intra State Supply.
  • This stipulates that if the supplier’s and buyer’s positions are both located within the same State, the supply is considered an Intra State Supply.
  • The Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) is to be placed with the federal government, while the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) is to be deposited with the state government.

Intra state GST vs Inter state GST

  • An intra-state supply is subject to both the CBT and the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST).
  • The GST rate for products and services sold within the state would stay unchanged.
  • The GST and tax rate, on the other hand, will be shared evenly between two headings: SGST and CGST.
  • Different taxes are charged on different commodities or services depending on the supply location under the current GST law.
  • If the transaction is an intra-state supply of goods and services, the Center of Commerce collects the central GST (CGST) and the State GST (SGST) is collected by the state where the supply takes place.
  • The Centre collects integrated GST on interstate supplies of goods and services (IGST). In this instance, no CGST or SGST will be applied.
  • The IGST rate will be equal to the sum of the CGST and the SGST.

The GST is one of the most beneficial tax reforms in Indian history, with both short- and long-term rewards and downsides.
