7.3 Value of supply of goods or services or both between distinct or related persons,
other than through an agent
The value of the supply of goods or services or both between distinct persons as specified in section 25(4)
and 25(5) of CGST Act or where the supplier and recipient are related, other than where the supply is
made through an agent, shall be as follows -
(a) the open market value of such supply
(b) if open market value is not available, the value of supply of goods or services of like kind and
quality
(c) if value is not determinable under clause (a) or (b), the value as determined by application of rules
30 and 31 of CGST and SGST Rules, in that order.
Section 25(4) and 25(5) of CGST Act covers those cases where same person has taken separate registration
in different States or even in the same State.

7.3-1 Value declared accepted when recipient is eligible for full input tax credit
Where the recipient is eligible for full input tax credit, the value declared in the invoice shall be deemed
to be the open market value of goods or services - proviso to rule 28 of CGST and SGST Rules.
This is not a general provision. This applies only in following cases - (a) distinct person as specified in
section 25(4) and 25(5) of CGST Act i.e. where same person with single PAN has taken separate registration
in different States or even in the same State (b) Related person.
This is a very sensible provision as when the recipient can take entire input tax credit, there cannot be
any intention to evade tax.
Really, this provision should apply to all transactions, as in such cases, there can be no intention to evade
tax.
Manipulation is possible - Though provision is sound, some manipulation is possible e.g. lower price
may be shown to reduce blockage of funds in tax. Some times, higher price may be charged so that
available ITC is fully utilized. Such manipulation is possible to some extent, but it has to be ensured that
there is no loss of Input Tax Credit at either end.
7.5 Residual method for determination of value of supply of goods or services or both
Where the value of supply of goods or services or both cannot be determined under rules 27 to 30 of CGST
and SGST Rules, the same shall be determined using reasonable means consistent with the principles
and general provisions of section 15 of CGST Act and provisions of rules 27 to 30 of CGST Rules - rule
31 of CGST and SGST Rules, 2017.
Value of service can be on basis of rule 31 instead of on cost plus 10% basis - In case of supply of services,
the supplier may opt for rule 31 ignoring rule 30 - proviso to Rule 31 of CGST and SGST Rules, 2017.

7.6-1 Margin scheme for valuation in buying and selling second hand goods
A ‘margin scheme’ has been provided for dealers in second hand goods.
If a taxable supply is provided by a person dealing in buying and selling of second hand goods (i.e. used
goods as such or after such minor processing which does not change the nature of the goods) and where
no input tax credit has been availed on purchase of such goods, the value of supply shall be the difference
between the selling price and purchase price and where the value of such supply is negative it shall be
ignored - Rule 32(5) of CGST and SGST Rules, 2017.
‘Value of supply is negative’ means sale price is less than purchase price. In such case, no GST is payable.
The provision applies to all taxable persons dealing in second hand goods, including old and used empty
bottles - PIB press release, dated 15-7-2017 15:35 IST - CBE&C press release No. 79/2017, dated 15-7-2017.
