Is courier cgarges a composite supply?

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether courier charges, when recovered from a client as part of an invoice for goods taxed at 3% GST, constitute a composite supply. The consensus is that if the courier service is ancillary to the main supply of goods, it should be treated as a composite supply. Therefore, the GST rate applied to the courier charges should match the rate of the primary goods (3%), rather than the higher rate charged by the courier company (18%).

27 August 2024 Our product falls in 3% GST rate. We recover courier charges from our client by mentioning the same in the invoice itself.The issue is that- courier company charges 18% to us.How should we charge the same from our client and at what rate??

27 August 2024 Don't you get ITC of the 18% GST paid to courier?
You need to charge only the service charges paid to the courier.
