AI Summary

Wholesalers Can Offer Discounts Without Affecting GST if Full Taxable Value is Maintained Before Discounts A query was raised regarding whether wholesalers can offer turnover and cash discounts to retailers without affecting GST. One response explained that discounts can be given after calculating tax on the full transactional value, ensuring the government receives the full tax amount. The issue arises if the taxable value is reduced by the discount. Another participant agreed, noting that charging GST on a credit note is optional. Both responses emphasize maintaining the full taxable value before applying discounts to comply with GST regulations.
