Dear CA. MONIKA.,

In my View Above Query.,

A is a Broker, B (seller) & C (receiver) is transact parties. A ll be dealing commision basis for the earnings. His T/O is less than 20lakhs he don't want register under GST.

In case B ll be preparing Invoices to A's name and A ll be invoicing to C's name then it ll be above 20lakhs T/O to A.

A want to be register under GST as Regular Dealer if his T/O above 20lakhs. Can't opt Composition.... Bcoz, He doing commision based business...

C is also under RCM if A is URD....

Am i right...?!

If the Book Printing is done as Service, i.e., getting the raw materials from the Customer, GST @ 18% is applicable.  However, if  Printed Books are supplied without getting the raw materials, shall be treated as sale and covered by HSN 49.01 and rate of GST is based on the end product supplied to the Customer either at 5% for annual reports, leaflet etc., and NIL rate for simple printed  books.  However, this may be confirmed by the trade association which generally decides the finer details of HSN.
