10. CONCEPT BEHIND INTER-UNIT
TRANSACTIONS
• GST – Consumption based tax.
• Tax moves where the goods/ services move.
• The intent is to attribute the revenue to the state where the
goods/ services are consumed.
• GST is leviable on supply of goods or service made for a
consideration. Section 7(1)(a) provides for inclusion of all
forms of supply of goods/ services made for a consideration
in the course or furtherance of business.
• Thus, in order to move the tax with the goods and/or
services in inter-unit transactions (even if made without
consideration), Entry 2 of Schedule-I is inserted.

11. LEVY OF GST ON INTER-UNIT
TRANSACTION
Supply of
Goods/
Services
Made for a
consideration
Made without
a consideration
Schedule I –
CGST Act, 2017
Distinct/ Related Persons – In
course or furtherance of business
Import of services by a taxable
person from related person/ any
of his establishments outside
India – in the course of business.

12. TAX TREATMENT
Prior
to GST
Regime
Central Sales Tax Act (Section 6A) - In case of transfer of goods
claimed otherwise than by way of sale
Finance Act, 1994 (Service Tax Law) - No concept of self service.
Central Excise – Taxing event is manufacture and collection is
made by central government. In this case, Central Govt. shared
the revenue with the state where mfg. activity is being carried
out.
In GST
Regime
Goods, including capital goods, when transferred to distinct/
related person, even when made without consideration is
treated as supply, and is thus leviable to GST.
Services, when supplied to distinct/ related person, even when
made without consideration is treated as supply, and is thus
leviable to GST.

14. INTER-UNIT SERVICES IN GST
• There could be 3 aspects for discussion of Inter-unit
services amongst the branches of the same company.
– Provision of services by one office of the company to the
office of another state, i.e. between distinct persons,
– Provision of service by the EMPLOYEES of one branch
office to another branch office of the company,
– Common input services received by the Corporate
office/ Head Office or any other regional office.

15. COMMON SERVICES
• Cross-charge can be done only where Head Office
provides a service to another office/branches.
• On the other hand, Credit is to be distributed through
ISD where the Head Office procures certain services
which are for common utilization of all/ some of its
branches across the country. The bills for such
expenses would be raised on the Head Office.
• The credit on such invoices is to be distributed
amongst the respective offices through an ISD.

16. TAX TREATMENT OF COMMON SERVICES
• In order to comply with GST Law – apparent option to Cross-charge
exists.
• Issues with Cross-charge:
– Valuation
– Charging of other services
• Therefore, distribution of credit of common services through ISD is rather
advisable.

(a) a composite supply comprising two or more

24. INDICATORS OF BUNDLED SERVICE
(NOT DETERMINATIVE)
Source: www. gst.council.gov.in/e-version fliers
• There is a single price or the customer pays the same
amount, no matter how much package the customers
actually receive use
• The elements are normally advertised as a package
• The different elements are not available separately
• The different elements are integral to one overall supply.
If one or more is removed, the nature of the supply
would be affected.

25. POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION
How to determine if the supply is naturally
bundled and supplied in conjunction with each
other?
Where the supply is naturally bundled and in
conjunction with each other but separate
consideration is charged for each supply. Would
that amount to Composite supply
How to determine principal supply?

26. FEW CASE STUDIES
• Situation 1: ABC gives his car for repair in a garage for servicing. The air filter was
replaced by the Garage. The replacement of air filter or any defected part of a motor
vehicle is not in conjunction with servicing. It can be supplied separately. How would
this transaction be treated?
• Situation 2: XYZ orders a book from Amazon and Amazon separately charges for
the delivery of the book. Even though separate consideration for delivery is charged,
the supply of books and delivery of the goods are naturally bundled and in
conjunction with each other. Would these be considered as composite supply and
transport charges would be exempt?
• Situation 3: XYZ went to a mobile repair center to get the screen changed of his
mobile phone. The Repair Center charged separately for the part and for the service.
Would the above transaction be considered a composite supply as they are naturally
bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other?
• Situation 4: ABC is involved in the printing of pamphlets and invitation cards. How
would the principal supply be determined in these cases?

27. CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS AND
SERVICES
Restaurants
providing packed
food
•Entry 6 (b) of Schedule II of CGST provides that supply of foods or article for
human consumption or any non alcoholic drink is a composite supply which shall
be treated as supply of service.
•A Restaurants on supply of sweet charging the rate applicable on sweet but
treats the food supplied in restaurant as services.
Photocopy Machine
•ABC given a photocopy machine to XYZ company along with the operation and
maintenance of the machine including toner and papers on monthly fixed rental
and per copy charges.
•Whether it would be considered as composite supply and what would be the
principal supply?
Principal supply: means the supply of goods or services which constitutes the
predominant element of a composite supply and to which any other supply
forming part of that composite supply is ancillary

28. MIXED SUPPLY – S. 2(74)
28
Supply - consisting of two or more individual supplies – of
goods and/or services
Made in conjunction with each other by a taxable
person
For a single price
Which is not a composite supply
Illustration
A supply of a package consisting of canned foods, sweets, chocolates, cakes, dry fruits,
aerated drinks and fruit juices when supplied for a single price is a mixed supply. Each of
these items can be supplied separately and is not dependent on any other. It shall not be a
mixed supply if these items are supplied separately;

29. LEVY OF GST
Section 8 of the CGST Act, 2017. The tax liability on
a composite or a mixed supply shall be determined in
the following manner, namely:—
