In GST regime it is important to know about the value of goods or services or both on which tax is to be paid. As per CGST Act, 2017 along with rules prescribed the provisions for determining the value of supply of goods or services have been made applicable in different circumstances and to different people.
Section 15 of CGST Act, 2017 provides the provisions for determining the value of goods and services. It provides the mechanism to know how to calculate the value of goods or services when supply of goods and services is made between unrelated persons and when the price is the sole consideration of the supply. Provisions of the value of supply under CGST act have also been made applicable to IGST Act vide Section 20 of the IGST Act.
Government has introduced various criteria for the determination of value of supply so now we will understand how to calculate the value of supply as per Section 15 of CGST Act, 2017.
Provisions relating to value of taxable supply are as under-
As per this section value of taxable supply is transaction value which is the price actually paid or payable for the supply of goods or services and the price is the sole consideration. Also, where the supplier and the recipient are not related or unrelated parties.
So we can say that if the supplier and recipient are not related and the price is the sole consideration then the value of taxable supply is the Transaction Value.
There are certain elements which is required to be included in the value of taxable supply. We will understand all the elements step by step as under-
Value of supply includes all the taxes, duties, cesses, fees and charges except the CGST, SGST, UTGST and GST cess if charged separately by the supplier. Thus we can say that GST and GST cess are not part of Taxable value but other taxes & duties, cesses, fees and charges are part of the taxable value.
Any amount paid by the recipient in relation to supply which is liable to be paid by the supplier then such amount will become part of the taxable value. A supplier may need to incur some expenses in relation to supply however if these expenses are directly paid by the recipient then such expenses also needs to be included in the value of taxable supply.
It means any amount charged by supplier for anything done by him for the supply of goods or services or both. Incidental expenses includes:-
Commission:- Any commission paid to an agent by the supplier and recovered from the recipient for supply of goods or services or both will be the part of the value of taxable supply
Inspection or certificate charges:- This is another element that may be added to the value , if billed to the recipient of supply
Packing :- If the packing charges are charged by the supplier to the recipient then it is to be included in the value of supply
Freight and other charges:- Where the supplier agrees to deliver the goods to the recipient and facilitate the transportation then the charges of freight will be the part of value of supply.
Interest or late fee or any penalty for delayed payment of any consideration for supply of goods or services is required to be included in the value of supply.
Any subsidy which is direct link to the supply will be the part of value of supply except subsidies provided by the central government and state government.
There are two types of discount which is required to be excluded from the value of supply.
Discount given on or before supply :- Any discount which is duly recorded in the invoice and given before the time of supply is required to be excluded from the value of taxable supply.
Discount given after the supply (Post supply discount):-Any discount which is given after the supply however such discount is already decided as per the agreement between supplier and the recipient before the time of supply and recipient has reversed the input tax credit on the value of discount then such discount value is required to be excluded from the value of taxable supply.
When it is not possible to calculate value of supply as per section 15 due to related party transaction or price not being the only or the sole consideration. The value of taxable supply is to be calculated as per the chapter IV of CGST Rules, 2017.
