Single PO - 2 different GST rates-Supply & Labour service

While we will buy AC Machine (GST rate 28%) -seller also requires to dismantle certain old equipments and install this new one with labour supply (GST rate 18%). Now vendor cum dealer wants 2 different Purchase Orders because of 2 different GST rates, Accounts Dept refuse to subscribe to this idea. They want single Purchase Order. Kindly advise whether split PO is required for supply and service part Rgds Jayanta Howrah 29.6.21

Supply of AC and labour for installation would mean a composite supply liable for 28% of GST. Probably the vendor is insisting on separate POs so that these transactions can be treated as different and GST at 2 different rates can be charged accordingly.

There is no compulsion to issue separate POs if both the transactions are related to one another. Usually the supplier and the buyer will have an internal arrangement which is mutually beneficial.

Why would it be 28%. PO can have multiple lines with different items and services on each? In which case, how do we calculate GST?

Sir

There is a strong argument that this is an integrated PO. Split is just to camflague the scenic, as they debate. Authority is not subscribing to any other views.
