Bill to ship to

[dineshrao ullal]

Hi, we are a trading unit and having our registered office in Bangalore,

My question is as follows

IF I receive a purchase order from a Bangalore based company asking me to bill to Bangalore but ship to Mumbai should I apply CGST and SGST or IGST.

My customer is asking for a CGST and SGST billing but when I am shipping the goods when I prepare the e waybill the online portal allows me to fill only the IGST details.

What is the correct tax type that I have to use?

Kindly advice.

Thanks and regards

The flow of ITC is from Bangalore - Bangalore - Mumbai. If the goods are finally sold in Mumbai, the IGST credit (from Bangalore to Mumbai) will be used for payment of SGST by the Mumbai trader and that SGST will go to Maharashtra, as per the adjustment done by the Centre (Presuming this to be a stand alone transaction). If the goods are destined to some other state, IGST is used to pay IGST again and the cycle ends in the state where the goods are consumed and that state gets the tax. In any case, the tax goes to the state where the goods are finally destined/ consumed. Hence, no error in drafting the law, in my view.

AI Summary

Place of supply determines tax: local supplier billing a local bill to charges CGST and SGST, onward sale attracts IGST.
Tax in bill to ship to cases hinges on the place of supply. A supplier billing a local bill to party is generally treated as making an intra state supply and must charge CGST and SGST, while the bill to party's onward sale to an out of state consignee is treated as an inter state supply charging IGST, affecting invoicing, GSTR reporting and ITC flow.
