Value of Taxable Supply under GST Act [Section 15 of CGST Act, 2017]

GST is payable on the value of taxable supply of goods or services or both. Therefore, determination of ‘Value of Taxable Supply’ is significant under GST law as it will determine the amount of tax to be paid by the supplier of taxable supply. It is the value on which tax will be computed and paid under GST laws. In the case of some suppliers such as traders purchase price shall always be available to the revenue authorities as a guiding benchmark.

However in the case of manufacturer or provider of service quality of product/service or brand name under which such goods or services arc supplied shall also have to be considered, besides the cost of such goods/services.

1. Where the Supplier and the Recipient Of the Supply are ‘Not Related Person’ and the Price is the Sole Consideration for the Supply [Section 15(1)]

The value of a supply of goods or services or both shall be the transaction value, which is the price actually paid or payable for the said supply of goods or services or both.

However, “Transaction Value” shall be considered as value of taxable supply of goods only when both the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) Supplier and the Recipient of the Supply arc Not Related Person [ Explanation to Section 15]  :

and

(b) The price is the Sole Consideration for the supply.

Note :

(ii)        such persons arc legally recognized partners in business;

(iii)       such persons are employer and employee;

(iv)       any person directly or indirectly owns, controls or holds 25% or more of the outstanding voting stock or shares of both of them;

(vi)       both of them are directly or indirectly controlled by a third person;

(vii)      together they directly or indirectly control a third person; or

(viii)     they are members of the same family.

1. The term ‘Person” also includes legal persons:

2. Persons who arc associated in the business of one another in that one is the sole agent or sole distributor or sole concessionaire, howsoever described, of the other, shall be deemed to be related.

 

(A)     What is to be Included in the Value of Supply ? [Section 15(2)]

The value of supply shall include—

(1)       any taxes, duties, cesses, fees and charges levied under any law for the time being in force (other than CGST Act, SGST Act, UTGST Act and the Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Act), if charged separately by the supplier;

(2)       any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply but which has been incurred by the recipient of the supply and not included in the price actually paid or payable for the goods or services or both;

(3)       incidental expenses, including commission and packing, charged by the supplier to the recipient of a supply and any amount charged for anything done by the supplier in respect of the supply of goods or services or both at the time of, or before delivery of goods or supply of services;

(5)       Subsidies directly linked to the price excluding subsidies provided by the Central Government and State Governments. The amount of subsidy shall be included in the value of supply of the supplier who receives the subsidy.

Example 1

Mr. Dust a trader has agreed to supply certain imported goods for Rs. 15,00,000 + Basic Customs Duty (BCD) of Rs. 1,50,000 to Mr. Dirty.

In this case, BCD shall also be included in the transaction value, if it is charged separately in the invoice raised by the supplier of goods. Hence, GST shall be charged on Rs. 16,50,000 at the applicable rate of such supplies.

Example 2

Mr. Dust & Sons has agreed to supply a TV to Mr. Dirty at his residence. Mr. Dust & Sons raises the invoice for Rs. 80.000 for the said supply. Mr. Dirty paid Rs. 80.000 to the supplier at his shop. Further, Mr. Dirty paid Rs. 2,000 to concerned Tempo Agency who delivered the TV at his residence, though it was payable by Mr. Dust & Sons as the term of supply was free delivery at his residence.

In this case, Rs. 2,000 paid to Tempo Agency shall be included in the value of taxable supply. Consequently, value of taxable supply shall be Rs. 82,000 [ Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 2,000] for the purpose of levy of relevant GST

(B). What is to be Excluded in the Value Of Supply ? [Section 15(3)]

The value of the supply shall not include any discount which is given—

(a)        before or at the time of the supply if such discount has been duly recorded in the invoice issued in respect of such supply; and

In this case, the value of supply of goods shall be Rs. 64.000.

Example-2 :

Mr. Dust Ltd. a manufacturer of readymade garments appointed certain dealers for selling its goods. He entered into an agreement to allow 5% discount by way of credit note if a dealer purchases goods for more than Rs. 50,00,000in a period of six months from the date of first supply.

In this case, the aforesaid discount which was not known either before or at the time of supply of relevant goods shall not be deducted from the value of supply made by Mr. Dust Ltd.

One dealer Mr. Clean exceeded the target and Mr. Dust Ltd. issued a credit note of 5% additional discount for all the supplies made to such dealer in the period of six months.

In such case, discount given by issuance of credit note to the dealer by Mr. Dust Ltd. is under an agreement entered into by Mr. Dust at the time of supply of goods and thus such discount shall not form value of supply provided input tax credit has been reversed by such dealer to whom credit note was issued, of the supply as is attributable to the discount on the basis of credit note issued by the supplier.
