Travel Agent Advised on GST: Charge Only on Commission, Not Total Amount; ITC Applies to Inward Supplies Only. A participant in a discussion forum, working as an agent, sought advice on whether to show an amount as a pure agent at 63,000 or 60,000 for GST purposes. The responses clarified that the participant might not qualify as a pure agent. A pure agent is an intermediary who does not own or sell goods or services but acts on behalf of another person. The participant, a travel agent, was advised that GST should be charged only on the commission, not on the entire amount, and input tax credit (ITC) is applicable only for inward supplies.
