: I am a whole seller of rice dealing in both branded and un-branded rice. I purchase them locally (i.e. from within the State) and also from outside the State (inter-State purchase). In the last financial year my turnover was Rs 5.5 Crore. Today, I am not registered under VAT.(iii) 90% of my turnover will of un-branded rice, while 10% only will of branded one. Can I sell both of them in one invoice?

As per Invoice Rules, a registered person supplying taxable goods is required to issue a tax invoice and in case of exempted goods, he is required to issue a bill of supply. As all the contents of bill of supply are included in the tax invoice, a separate bill of supply need not be issued in case of the exempt component. Thus, both branded and unbranded rice can be included in one invoice.

provides that where the recipient is eligible for full input tax credit,
the value declared in the invoice shall be deemed to be the open
market value of goods and services.

What is the tax liability in a scenario where supplies are made from multiple locations (in different States) of the supplier to the recipient under a single contract

  1. Delivering services from various locations and integrated pricing for the contract as a whole is the norm in IT/ITES industry.
  2. Normally the contract or agreement with the recipient is entered into by one of the branches (let us say “Main Branch”).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
