of <h1>GST applies to entire transaction when materials and supervision provided together, only supervision charges when arranged separately</h1> <h3>In Re: M/s Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited,</h3> In Re: M/s Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited, - 2023 (77) G.S.T.L. 311 (A. A. R. - GST - U. P.) Issues Involved:1. Inclusion of value of material and cost of execution work in the value of supply for GST determination where costs are taken as reimbursement.2. Inclusion of value of material and cost of execution work in the value of supply for GST determination where costs are borne by the recipient of service and only supervision charges are levied.Summary:Issue 1: Inclusion of value of material and cost of execution work for GST determination where costs are taken as reimbursementThe applicant, an Electricity Distribution Company, supervises the installation of electricity lines, with the entire cost borne by the customers. The applicant charges only supervision fees and seeks reimbursement for material and installation costs incurred on behalf of the customers. The applicant contends that the value of supply should only include supervision charges, as the other costs are reimbursed expenses.The Authority examined the provisions under Section 7 of the GST Act, 2017, defining 'supply' and the definition of 'goods' under Section 52. It was determined that the constructed power transmission lines are immovable property and do not fall under the definition of goods. The Authority also referred to Rule 33 of CGST Rules 2017, which excludes costs incurred by a supplier as a pure agent from the value of supply, provided specific conditions are met.The Authority concluded that GST is payable only on the supervision charges billed by the applicant, as the costs of material and installation are reimbursed expenses incurred in a pure agent capacity.Ruling: The value of material and cost of execution work for installation of lines will be included in the value of supply for GST determination where all such costs are taken as reimbursement while the supply is only supervision charges. Reply in affirmative.Issue 2: Inclusion of value of material and cost of execution work for GST determination where costs are borne by the recipient of serviceIn scenarios where customers arrange the material and installation work, and the applicant's role is limited to supervision, the applicant argues that the value of supply should only include supervision charges. The Authority referred to Section 15 of the CGST Act, 2017, which defines the value of taxable supply as the transaction value, i.e., the price actually paid or payable for the supply of goods or services.The Authority concluded that in cases where the cost of installation and material is borne by the recipient of service, the value of supply will be the supervision charges paid to the applicant. The GST is payable on the transaction value, which is the supervision charges.Ruling: The value of material and cost of execution work for installation of lines will not be included in the value of supply for GST determination where all such costs are borne by the recipient of service and only supervision charges are levied. Reply in Negative.Validity:This ruling is valid within the jurisdiction of the Authority for Advance Ruling, Uttar Pradesh, and subject to the provisions under Section 103(2) of the CGST Act, 2017, until declared void under Section 104(1) of the Act.
