Initial M.P. = ₹ 6000

Dealer bought at 20% discount.

C.P. for dealer = ₹ 6000 - 20% of ₹ 6000

= ₹ 6000 - 20100×6000\dfrac{20}{100} \times ₹6000

= ₹ 6000 - ₹ 1200 = ₹ 4800.

GST paid by dealer for purchase = 18% of ₹ 4800 = 18100×4800\dfrac{18}{100} \times 4800 = ₹ 864

Dealer sells at discount of 10% on the marked price.

S.P. = ₹ 6000 - 10% of ₹ 6000

= ₹ 6000 - 10100×6000\dfrac{10}{100} \times 6000

= ₹ 6000 - ₹ 600

= ₹ 5400.

GST charged by dealer on selling article = 18% of ₹ 5400

= 18100×5400\dfrac{18}{100} \times 5400 = ₹ 972.

GST paid by dealer to government = GST charged on selling price - GST paid against purchase

= ₹ 972 - ₹ 864

= ₹ 108.

Hence, GST paid by dealer to government = ₹ 108.
