Supply of Goods under Warranty.

[Manish Sulakshane]

Can you please clarify what would be the tax liability on replacement of parts (no consideration is charged from a customer) under a warranty and whether the supplier is required to reverse the input tax credit?

Please also clarify what procedure is to followed?? How do we raise the Invoice as well as Way bill if the Total Invoice value exceeds ₹ 50000/-?

AI Summary

Warranty replacement tax treatment: include in transaction value to avoid separate GST charge or ITC reversal; follow movement documentation.
Where warranty replacement is included in the transaction value as shown in contract/PO/cost sheet, the supplier need not treat the replacement as a separate taxable supply or reverse ITC; if not included, the supplier must either discharge GST on the replacement or reverse the input tax credit. Movement of replacement parts should be supported by a delivery challan and, where applicable under threshold rules, an e way bill, with invoicing and waybill procedures following the underlying supply documentation.
