Principal-agent supply rule: invoice issuance determines GST treatment of goods transfers under Schedule I. Schedule I deems certain transfers between principal and agent to be supplies even without consideration when the agent acts in a representative capacity. The crucial objective test is invoice issuance: if the agent issues the invoice in his own name for the onward supply, transfers from principal to agent fall within Schedule I; if the invoice to the customer is in the principal's name, Schedule I does not apply. Authority to pass or receive title on behalf of the principal is determinative.
