Invoice Queries

Consultant has paid Government Fees including GST to the Government, on behalf of Client.

Now, how to Issue Invoice to the client.
Because the amount which has been paid it's related to Government Fees and it will be not a part of Income to the Consultant.

Client is asking the Invoice.

Quick Summary
A consultant paid government fees, including GST, on behalf of a client and needs to know how to invoice for this. The fees are not part of the consultant's income. Suggestions include adding it as a nil-rated supply, but this is debated as it's not a true supply. The best practice appears to be invoicing for services separately and seeking reimbursement for the government fees, ensuring the client's GST details were used for the original payment.

Just add it in you supply.
but make sure that in the footnote where gst summary is given, the value of supply must not include such fees
Ok, but we are mentioning the fees
under Nil rated supplies and Issuing Invoice.

But, that Government fees will not be a part of our Income right

If the government has charged GST then ideally the bill should have been taken in the name and GST of client. And then you can only have to invoice for your service and take reimbursement of the government fees taken by you

Showing as a nil rated supply wont be appropriate. under valuation provision it is given that such amount will not form part of value of supply. in effect, it is not a supply at all
