- For classification of any supply as Inter-State Supply or Intra-State Supply, two ingredients are relied upon and these are location of the supplier and place of supply.
- In the instant case, location of the supplier is Goa, place of supply will be outside Goa as per section 10(1)(b) of the IGST Act since, goods are supplied on behalf of a registered person outside Goa to a place in Goa.
- The nature of supply made by the applicant is to be treated as a supply of goods in the course of inter- State trade or commerce and tax is to be charged accordingly.
