A business undertaking pole laying and cabling work in Tamil Nadu received a work order from their supplier's head office in West Bengal. They are seeking clarification on whether to charge CGST and SGST or IGST on their invoice. The general rule for services related to immovable property suggests the place of supply is where the property is located (Tamil Nadu), implying CGST and SGST. However, the supplier is insisting on IGST, creating a dilemma for the business.
