Dear Professional Experts, my apologies if I am being little ignorant....

 

Please clarify - Will the sale of a photocopied paper be treated as a ‘Composite’ Supply, with “Photocopy” (Service) being the principal component and the sale of Paper (Goods) being naturally bundled with the photocopying?

 

Thanks

Yes, it is a composite supply. Your conclusion is correct.

S.No

Nature of Item / Service

HSN / SAC

Goods / Service

Rate of GST

1

Services by way of printing of all goods falling under Chapter 48 or 49 [including newspapers, books (including Braille books), journals and periodicals], which attract IGST @ 12 percent. or 5 percent. or Nil, where only content is supplied by the publisher and the physical inputs including paper used for printing belong to the printer.

(Essentially this is a Printing Job Work where Paper Belongs to Printing Concern)

 

Heading 9989(i)

Servic

It's about printing. You are asking about photocopying. There is difference between these.

Dear Manish - Thanks for your logical & valid queries.

 

Kindly refer my original question (e.g. a shop providing photocopying service by using its own paper) and the GST to be charged by these vendors. I wanted to just get the version of official law + latest practice going in the market :)
