A firm purchased software using a partner's personal funds, with the invoice showing the firm's name but the partner's billing details. The user is concerned about potential GST penalties and claiming depreciation. The consensus is that there should be no GST penalty, and the firm can claim depreciation on the software in its Income Tax Return. The transaction is not considered a supply from the partner to the firm as the software was originally intended for and invoiced to the firm.
