GST applicabilty on investment outlay


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to investments made in music videos by external investors, where revenue is shared. The consensus leans towards GST being applicable on advances received for video production, potentially falling under SAC 999612 for production services. The treatment in books of accounts is also considered, distinguishing it from a loan due to the revenue-contingent repayment.

04 July 2022 Assessee is an LLP Firm in the business of making music videos.
He has approached an investor to invest in his video for completion & distribution of song & in return a % of revenue will be shared with the investor.

Query 1 - Is GST applicable on the above transaction at the time of Investment inflow (for Assessee) & revenue sharing outflow( for Investor), if YES under which HSN code ?

Query 2 - If GST not applicable, then how the same will be shown in BOA at the time of investment incoming & when the revenue start generating (outflows) at the time if sharing of revenue in the said song. for both Investor & Assessee.



04 July 2022 1 GST not applicable on investment and on revenue sharing..
2 GST not applicable on such tranfer.
GST only applicable on sale to outsider.

05 July 2022 The Investor is not investing in the company / LLP, but only in 1 song, so no stakes are given in the LLP.
So how to treat this investment in the books of accounts.
Can't treat as loan as the same is not to be returned back if the revenue is not reached as per estimates.

05 July 2022 Treat it as advance received for making music video. GST applicable on such advance received.

05 July 2022 Which HSN code shall be used for the same

05 July 2022 SAC 999612
1) It would fall under SAC 999612 as Motion picture, videotape, television and radio programme production services.
