Exhibitions involve multiple GST implications. Here is a comprehensive breakdown:

1. Stall/Participation Charges Paid to Organiser:
- The organiser charges GST @ 18% on stall rent/space charges (SAC 9997 or 9983)
- The participating firm can claim ITC on this expense if it is used for business purposes and not blocked under Section 17(5)

2. Sales Made at Exhibition:
- GST is applicable on all sales made at the stall as per normal applicable GST rates for the goods/services
- If sales are within the same state: CGST + SGST applicable
- If the exhibition is in another state (inter-state): IGST applicable
- Registration requirement: If making inter-state supply (selling from stall in another state), the firm may need GST registration in that state OR can use casual taxable person registration

3. Casual Taxable Person Registration:
- If the firm participates in an exhibition in a state where it is not normally registered, it must register as a 'Casual Taxable Person' under Section 27 of CGST Act at least 5 days before the event
- Casual taxpayer registration is for a specific period (up to 90 days)
- Must deposit estimated tax liability upfront as advance

4. Movement of Goods to Exhibition (Inter-State):
- Goods moved to another state for exhibition are treated as a 'branch transfer' / non-supply movement
- E-way bill is required if goods value exceeds Rs. 50,000
- In GSTR-1, report as stock transfer to own branch (if registered in that state) or as supply to casual person GSTIN

5. Return of Unsold Goods: Goods brought back must also be covered by an e-way bill and reflected as return stock transfer.
