Are you buyer of goods imported or not? Or, are you importing goods in the capacity of agent of foreign supplier?

If you are buyer of goods imported (i.e. you are not importing goods in the capacity of agent of foreign supplier) and if you can prove the same with documentary evidences, then, kindly explain why you booked difference as 'commission income' instead booking the transactions as sales & purchases (as traders normally do)?

Dear Querist,

Terms and conditions of the agreement/contract executed with foreign buyer supported books of accounts would determine whether you are intermediary or not.

If you are trading in goods, that would mean you have accounted purchase and sale in your books. Profit will be the difference between the two.

If commission is accounted in books then the activity may not be trading.

The definition of 'intermediary' under Section 2 (13) of IGST Act will be helpful in this context  “intermediary” means a broker, an agent or any other person, by whatever name called, who arranges or facilitates the supply of goods or services or both, or securities, between two or more persons, but does not include a person who supplies such goods or services or both or securities on his own account;

If you are only trader and the intermediary agent is located abroad, to the extent of commission, the place of supply is abroad and is not taxable. It doesn't matter if you have reduced the commission. If you can share the notice, we can throw more light on the issue
