GST Liability on Sales Through Aggregators
When a business sells goods or services through an aggregator (e-commerce operator platform), the supplier (business) is generally liable to pay GST on the supply. The aggregator facilitates the sale but is not the supplier unless it is selling its own goods/services.
Certain notified services supplied through e-commerce operators attract GST liability directly on the e-commerce operator under Section 9(5) of CGST Act, such as passenger transport services and restaurant services.
The e-commerce operator (aggregator) is required to collect tax at source (TCS) at 1% on the net value of taxable supplies made through it and deposit it with the government. This applies only when the consideration is collected by the operator.
In cases where multiple e-commerce operators are involved in a transaction, the liability to collect TCS lies on the operator releasing payment to the supplier.

GST on Discounts Offered on Aggregator Platforms
Discounts given by the aggregator or supplier impact the transaction value on which GST is calculated.
Discounts given before or at the time of sale can be deducted from the transaction value and GST is calculated on the net amount after discount.
Discounts provided post-sale or as incentives from the supplier to the aggregator or dealers (to pass on to customers) are treated as additional consideration and are taxable under GST. The dealer or aggregator would charge GST on the amount of discount received.
If the aggregator gives additional discounts to customers on its platform, the transaction value for GST purposes is the amount actually received after discount.

Aggregator collects tax at source (TCS) at 1% on net value of taxable supplies (if applicable) and deposits with government.
Discounts given before sale reduce transaction value; hence GST is charged on reduced value.

The supplier, dealer, or aggregator declares GST on the value after considering discounts in GST returns.
Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed by registered persons based on GST paid on actual transaction value.
