This case law is not fully applicable to the situation explained by you. In my view, this situation consists of two components . 1.Supply of service 2 Supply of goods for re-export. In the first situation, you have provided/supplied rewarehousing services (rental) and charged the amount (consideration) for one month. In this instance, place of supply is in taxable territory (India) and within same State. It is not export of service. Hence CGST and SGST payable. Re-export of goods is another aspect in this situation and both the situations should not be intermingled. This is my view. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = In continuation if my reply dated 24.1.19, I further add as under:- . ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X .....
