..... controls or holds twenty-five per cent. or more of the outstanding voting stock or shares of both of them; (v) one of them directly or indirectly controls the other; (vi) both of them are directly or indirectly controlled by a third person; (vii) together they directly or indirectly control a third person; or (viii) they are members of the same family; Where persons are related, price determined under section 15(1) is irrelevant and is subject to verification under section 15(4) by reference to the rules applicable. Price is the sole consideration It is important then to understand the term 'price is the sole consideration'. If there is any consideration not in money, the money actually paid cannot be taken as the basis of valuation. Any additional consideration received apart from the monetary consideration shall also be considered to arrive at the actual transaction value. In fact, the consideration can be both monetary and non-monetary which is well defined in Section 2(31) of the CGST / SGST Act. There is an important clause in the provisions of valuation - "any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply but which has been incurred by the .....

..... e price of the car originally supplied and therefore tax has already been paid by the car company at the time of selling of the car. Now, the question arises then what is the role of the service centre here? In fact, the service centre delivers the part and rendered service to the customer but 'supplies' it to the car company. Hence, there is another supply involved here between the service provider and the car company which is taxable supply in GST. [Reference: Mohd. Ekram Khan's decision of SC in 144 STC 542. As such, warranty involves two supplies and neither of which are free from tax. One is tax pre-paid and another is currently taxed though not involving the end customer]. Interest, late fee or penalty for delayed payment are also part of supply value- All these special charges are linked to an underlying original supply, therefore, shall be part of supply value. So many questions may arise - what will be the time of supply for these special charges? Whether the rate of tax of original supply will be applied for the special charges also? Whether all such special charges are liable to GST? It is better to explain it with an example - Example: A contractee awarded a contract .....

..... ply will not include discount, provided: * It is allowed before supply, or * It is allowed after supply, provided that it is established in agreement linked to specific supplies and corresponding credit is reversed by the recipient. Example: M/s. A of Kolkata supplied 10 pcs of i-Phone to M/s. B of Kolkata on 20.09.2019 where basic price of such phones is Rs. 10 lakh. A discount of Rs. 1 lakh is offered and courier charges of Rs.1000.00 is charged at the time of supply. What is the value of supply in the above transaction if the tax rate of such i-phones is 12%? As per the conditions, 50% payment was made at the time of delivery and further condition was that if balance payment is made within 20.10.2019 then 10% further discount on basic price will be allowed. If such payment is made in time, whether this discount will also be deducted from the supply value? In this example, courier charges are to be added to the value of supply as incidental charges and discount is to be deducted as it is offered at the time of supply. Hence, taxable value will be Rs. 9,01,000/-. GST @ 12% is to be added to Rs. 9,01,000/- to get the value of supply i.e. Rs. 10,09,120/-. If 50% of the amount .....

(b) If the open market value of the new car is not known, and the price of the old car is Rs. 4,00,000/- at the time of supply, then the value of supply of the new car will be Rs. 9,00,000/-. (c) A customized air conditioning unit whose open market value is not available is installed at an office wherein the consideration is paid in the form of money of Rs. 40,000 and an old air conditioning unit whose price is not available at the time of supply. A similar air conditioning unit in terms of characteristics, quality, functional components, materials and reputation etc. has been installed by the company at another client's premises for Rs. 60,000/-. Since, the value of goods of like kind and quality is available, the value of Rs. 60,000/- will be taken under Rule 27. (d) value determined by rule 30 or rule 31. 2. Where supply is made between related persons with or without consideration and distinct persons without consideration - Rule 28 The value of supply under this rule will be: (a) Open market value: Example: A cell phone deale .....

..... case where the invoice is issued by the del credere agent then it would fall under the ambit of an agent. 4. Value of supply based on cost - Rule 30 This rule is applicable for valuation of supply of goods and services, only where the other methods of valuation do not apply. It provides that the value will be 'cost plus 10%'. Example: Suppose ABC Limited is a manufacturer of office furniture. Say, the cost of manufacturing a chair is Rs. 4,000/-. Similar chair in the open market is valued at Rs. 4,500. These chairs are supplied to a furniture showroom at the rate Rs. 3,000 and balance in non-monetary consideration. Now since the open market value is available Rs. 4,500 will be considered for valuation of supply. However, if Open Market Value is not available, the value of supply as per cost method will be 110% of the cost of manufacturing i.e. Rs. 4,000*110% = Rs. 4,400. 5. Residual method of valuation - Rule 31 As per the residual method, where the value of supply of goods or services or both cannot be determined under the cost method, the same shall be determined using reasonable means consistent with the principles and general provisions of the GST law.

So, the value of supply shall be = (90-88) * 1000 = Rs. 2000/-. For currency exchange ≤ Rs.1 L: 1% or Rs.250/- which one is higher. For currency exchange >Rs.1Lbut ≤ 10L 0.5% of exchanged amount exceeding 1 L plus Rs.1000/- For currency exchange >Rs.10L: 0.1% of exchanged amount exceeding 1 L plus Rs.5500/- but maximum Rs.60000/- Example: Suppose a money exchanger received Singapore Dollar and provided Indian Rs. 5,00,000/-. The value of supply shall be (4,00,000*0.5%) +1000 =Rs. 3000/- (b) Value of service in relation to air travel agents: 5% of basic fare in case of domestic booking and 10% of basic fare in case of international booking of passengers by air.
