Following is the situation :
1. We shall import an item and do high sea sale to one of our buyer in INDIA.
2. We are billed by our supplier say at Euro 100.00 My Salling price is say Rs. X+GST equivalent to Euro 105.00
3. Now our buyer will pay duty on Euro 100.00, is it Ok. Will Customs every ask for duty on Euro 105.00
4. As the bill of entry will be in the name of our buyer, will bank accept the same while we have to make payment to our supplier in foreign ex-change.
5. If we ask our supplier to bill us say @ Euro 105, than how would we get difference of Euro 5. Will it attract GST or any other tax.
