Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies when Company B transfers material development costs to Company A after an unsuccessful formulation project. It clarifies that if the transfer of costs, including materials and labour, is done by mutual consent, GST will generally be applicable on the total amount. However, a circular is referenced for further clarification on specific compensation scenarios.

Is there Company A accept the charges...?
Yes, expenses are being transferred by mutual consent
Then, You can transfer the cost with GST.

Yes, Total cost or actual cost like materials or Materials with Labour cost and anything...
So, Gst will be applicable on transfer by Company B to A?
Yes, Definitely.

All charges (materials and services) you received (or applied) with GST or without GST will transfer as per mutual understanding then these all transfers levied with GST.

Please clarify.....How's transaction is going on??

If Company A transfers the total cost amount to Company B as Compensation than I think GST will not be applicable on transaction made by Company A to B.

 

For more  clarity...please refer circular no  Circular No. 1  7 8../1 0../ 20 2 2..-GST dated 03.08.2022 (attached).

 

Please correct me, if I am wrong

Hst on transfer on material cost.
