WHAT WE CAN SHOW FREE QUANTITY OR SCHEME QUANTITY IN GST SALES INV.AS GST ACT


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how traders can display free or scheme quantities on GST sales invoices, such as offering 2 free cartons with a purchase of 10. The consensus is that such schemes are permissible under GST. The recommended approach is to show the total quantity (e.g., 12 cartons) on the invoice and detail the free quantity as a trade discount. Reversing ITC on the free quantity is generally not required as it's considered a trade discount, not a free gift.

17 June 2021 Yes, you can give such schemes.
On the invoice you will mention the correct quantity. Under the discount mention the details of 2 quantity.
Further, in my opinion you should reverse the ITC on the 2 quantities you have given for free.

17 June 2021 No need for reversal of ITC in such schemes.
It's not a free gift it's only trade discount.
