Exercises on the place of supply

I. Place of Supply When There is Movement of Goods

Example 1- Intra-state sales


Mr. Raj of Mumbai, Maharashtra sells 10 TV sets to Mr. Vijay of Nagpur,
Maharashtra
The place of supply is Nagpur in Maharashtra. Since it is the same state CGST & SGST
will be charged.
Example 2-Inter-State sales
Mr. Raj of Mumbai, Maharashtra sells 30 TV sets to Mr. Vinod of Bangalore,
Karnataka
The place of supply is Bangalore in Karnataka. Since it is a different state IGST will be
charged.
Example 3- Deliver to a 3rd party as per instructions
Anand in Lucknow buys goods from Mr. Raj in Mumbai (Maharashtra). The buyer
requests the seller to send the goods to Nagpur (Maharashtra)
In this case, it will be assumed that the buyer in Lucknow has received the goods &
IGST will be charged.
Place of supply: Lucknow (UP)
GST: IGST
Example 4- Receiver takes the goods ex-factory
Mr. Raj of Mumbai, Maharashtra gets an order of 100 TV sets from Sales Heaven
Ltd. of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Sales Heaven mentions that it will arrange its own
transportation and take TV sets from Mr. Raj ex-factory
Place of supply: Chennai, Tamil Nadu
GST: IGST
Although the goods are received ex-factory i.e in Maharashtra by the recipient, the
movement of the goods terminates for delivery to the recipient only at Chennai, Tamil
Nadu. Irrespective of whether the supplier or the recipient is actually undertaking the
movement of goods, the place of supply is the location of goods where movement of
goods terminates for delivery to the recipient which is at Chennai. Hence, IGST is
applicable.

Example 5 – E-commerce sale


Mr. Raj of Mumbai, Maharashtra orders a mobile from Amazon to be delivered to
his mother in Lucknow (UP) as a gift. M/s ABC (online seller registered in Gujarat)
processes the order and sends the mobile accordingly and Mr. Raj is billed by
Amazon.
