components of supply under gst

 

  • PLACE OF SUPPLY:- This component of Supply helps the taxpayer to determine where the goods or services are supplied  which means this helps in determining which type of transaction took place i.e. inter state, intra state, import or export. It is important to know place of supply of goods or services so as to determine which type of GST will be levied on transaction.

If goods or services are supplied between states IGST has to be levied whereas if goods or services are supplied within a state then SGST and CGST has to be levied.

This component covers the Concept of DESTINATION PRINCIPLE in GST.

DESTINATION PRINCIPLE :- This principle states that GST has to be levied and collected at the place where goods or services are actually consumed .

  1. Consumed In India:- If goods or services are consumed by a person in INDIA , So tax will be levied & collected by Indian Government.
  2. Consumed outside India:If goods or services are consumed by a person OUTSIDE INDIA then tax will be levied & collected by Foreign Government.

 

  • VALUE OF SUPPLY:- This component of supply decides the taxable value of supply made . To determine the GST Tax amount one should first ascertain value of supply so as to determine tax rates as well as GST tax amount arise on particular transaction.

EXAMPLE 

1. A shopkeeper sold television set  for Rs 40,000/- per television and Rate of GST levied on such sale is 18%. and shopkeeper sold 5 sets of television .

Here  Taxable Value of  Supply is  40,000*5  = Rs 2,00,000. and GST is applicable on such supply is Rs 2,00,000 *18% = Rs. 36,000. Hence total  value of invoice is Taxable value +GST Amount = Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 36,000 =  Rs. 2,36,000.

2. A shopkeeper raise invoice of Rs. 1,18,000 (inclusive of GST ) to Ram against sale of Television set. GST rate on such supply is 18%. So, taxable value of supply here is 118000/118 *100 = Rs. 100000.

 

  • TIME OF SUPPLY :– This component of supply helps to determine the time at which GST collection and GST payables reconciled. It may  made Monthly, Quarterly or Annually. To make such reconciliation Government has introduced various GST returns which needs to be filled by taxpayer 7 by tax collection in order to Make GST reconciliation.

EXAMPLE 

  1. GSTR-1 needs to be filled by 11th of next month to determine value of supplies made during the period.
  2.  GSTR-3B needs to be filled by 23rd of next month to reconcile GST on sales and purchases during the period.
  3.  GSTR-2A has been filled to determine ITC on Purchases.
  4. Annual returns are filed in GSTR -9 to reconcile annual sales & purchases.
