Discussion and Finding of AAR

  • Issues raised by the applicant are not covered by section 97(2) of the GST Act on which Advance Ruling can be sought.
  • Only one issue could be dealt by this authority for issuing Ruling and that is whether supply made by applicant from Goa on behalf of third person who is not in the taxable territory of Goa to a place in Goa is to be taxed as Inter-State Supply or Intra State Supply.
  • 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.
