- Delivering services from various locations and integrated pricing for the contract as a whole is the norm in IT/ITES industry.
- Normally the contract or agreement with the recipient is entered into by one of the branches (let us say “Main Branch”).
- Therefore, in such cases of service delivery from multiple locations of the supplier to the recipient, the supply could be visualized as consisting of two distinct supplies.
- First supply- the different branches of the supplier located
across different States are making the supply to the main branch
which entered into a contact or an agreement with the recipient for
the supply of such service. - Second supply- main branch is making a supply to the customer. GST is to be levied accordingly. In such a scenario, the main branch would get input tax credit of GST paid by the other branches on supplies made by them to the main branch.
