Hi All
One of our client is a trader of Paints in Kerala and they are purchasing goods from Company situated in Maharashtra. As per terms half of transportation charges will be met by dealer and the company charges the same and shows separately on the invoice. The company is charging 18% GST on total of material cost and freight. Whether the treatment is correct and whether the dealer can take input credit for whole amount. Please clarify
