• CGST (Central GST): Goes to Central Government
• SGST (State GST): Goes to State Government
• Each is half of the total GST rate

Inter-State Sales (Different States)

For sales between different states:

• IGST (Integrated GST): Combined tax equal to CGST + SGST
• Collected by Central Government, shared with destination state
