When a GST-registered company sells machinery to an unregistered buyer, the GST is calculated on the profit margin, not the total sale value. In this case, with a purchase WDV of Rs. 2,50,000 and a sale price of Rs. 3,25,000, the taxable margin is Rs. 75,000, and 18% GST is applicable on this amount.
