📍 Always reconcile these entries with your GSTR-2B statement before filing your monthly returns to ensure the supplier has uploaded the invoice.

When you buy goods or services worth at an 18% GST rate , your journal entry will look like this: Account Head Purchase A/c Input CGST (9%) Input SGST (9%) To Creditor / Bank A/c $11,800 Key Components

If the supplier is from a different state, replace CGST/SGST with IGST (18%) . Tax Calculation Formula Base Amount: Total Invoice Value / (1 + Tax Rate) GST Amount: Base Amount × 18% CGST/SGST: GST Amount ÷ 2

This is the total invoice value you owe the supplier. Important Checklist
