Composite supply-gst

Is it a usual practice in industry to collect royalty along with sale value on sale of iron ores?

I can't take a strict stand on whether it is a usual practice or not. I am not sure whether the royalty collect is on behalf of the goverment or under an agreement with the party.

I request you to give the suggestion on the basis of the information provided.

Thank you

As far as I understand, royalty is paid to govt. for exploration of natural resources i.e. consideration for service.

Whereas the other payment is for purchase of goods(iron ore) i.e. consideration for goods.

Both are different transaction and hence different rate of tax being charged. 

I also hope that different bill being raised for both the above mentioned transactions.

Thank you for your reply sir,

They are issuing a consolidated invoice & they are not issuing separate invoices for IronOre and Royalty.

Further I want you to consider some other points also:

1. Payment of royalty only arises when the iron ore is explored, hence royalty and iron ore becomes composite supply.

2. Value of supply includes any tax, cess etc collected.

In the view of the above I feel it is a composite supply and it should be subjected to single rate of tax or Iron Ore. Please provide your inputs sir.

Thank you
