GST ON BARTER DEAL


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses GST implications for businesses involved in barter deals, specifically when exchanging services for vouchers. Experts clarify that GST is payable on the transaction, considering the voucher as consideration for registration services. The GST liability arises both when receiving the voucher from the retailer and when selling it to the customer. However, it's noted that input tax credit (ITC) can be claimed when selling to the customer, potentially avoiding double taxation. If the voucher sale to the customer isn't considered a supply of goods or services, no GST may be payable on that part.
