This discussion clarifies how to treat reimbursements from a supplier, specifically a profit margin of Rs 10 per sale. It's advised to treat this reimbursement as commission income, which is considered direct income. The GST on this Rs 10 is payable by you but can be claimed back from the supplier. This treatment impacts your income tax liability.
