of <h1>Gold coins and white goods given as gifts to dealers for achieving sales targets are taxable supply under Section 15 GST Act Rule 30</h1> <h3>In Re: M/s. Orient Cement Limited,</h3> In Re: M/s. Orient Cement Limited, - TMI Issues Involved:1. Whether the applicant's obligation to issue gold coins and white goods to dealers upon achieving purchase targets is regarded as 'goods disposed of by way of gift' under Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act, 2017.2. Whether such issuance is considered a 'permanent transfer or disposal of business assets' and treated as a supply under Schedule-I to the CGST Act, 2017.3. Whether the issuance of gold coins and white goods constitutes a supply under Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017.Summary:Issue 1: Goods Disposed of by Way of GiftThe applicant argued that the issuance of gold coins and white goods to dealers upon achieving purchase targets should not be regarded as 'goods disposed of by way of gift' under Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act, 2017. They contended that these items are provided under a contractual obligation and not voluntarily, thus not qualifying as gifts. The Authority found that the transaction is taxable as a supply of goods and therefore eligible for Input Tax Credit (ITC).Issue 2: Permanent Transfer or Disposal of Business AssetsThe applicant contended that the issuance of gold coins and white goods does not constitute a 'permanent transfer or disposal of business assets' as these items are not capitalized in the books of accounts but are revenue expenditures. The Authority ruled that the transaction is a supply of goods and not a permanent transfer or disposal of business assets.Issue 3: Supply under Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017The applicant argued that the issuance of gold coins and white goods should not be regarded as a supply under Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, as there is no consideration received. However, the Authority concluded that the transaction is indeed a supply under Section 7, as the issuance of these items is in response to the dealers achieving sales targets, which constitutes a consideration.Rulings:1. The transaction is taxable as a supply of goods and therefore eligible for ITC.2. The transaction is a supply of goods and not a permanent transfer or disposal of business assets.3. The issuance of gold coins and white goods to dealers upon achieving purchase targets is regarded as a supply under Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017.
