GST levy and Invoicing location

118 views 1 replies

Dear All,

My company is engaged in transport of cargo from one state to another by rail-sea-road mode. The transaction begins in the Odisha and ends in Andhra pradesh. Goods will be transported by wagon from various places in odisha till the port. And unloaded there and stored in the port. From there they are again loaded into a vessel and transported to a port in AP. Unloaded again in port. From there transported to the party place by road. 

Clarity is needed in the following regarding GST:

As per the terms of contract only a single invoice can be given at a fixed rate. From which state it has to be raised and what type of GST (IGST/CGST/IGST). We dont have a GST registration or office in odisha, except a site office, not a place of business. Regd office of Company is in Chennai. GST registation available for Chennai and AP. 

Also clarity for availing input needed. Since in Odisha port, they are charging CGST/SGST for the port charges, irrespective of the state to which it is billed. But in AP port IGST is charged for the port charges.

Please provide your valuable opinion. It is very urgent.

Thanks

For deciding the type of Tax , we have to decide the 'place of Supply' as per the existing provisions of G.S.T.

As per Section 12(8) of the C.G.S.T Act in case of supply of goods including courier,  say for a Goods Transport Agency, the place of supply shall be the Location of person who is provided such service, if he is a registered person.

Hence in your case , if the person who received the service is located in A.P , the place of location  shall the  A.P and since you are based at Chennai, I.G.ST shall be levied.
