GST on discounted club bills: transaction value under Section 15 applies only to price after eligible invoice discounts Under GST law, tax is generally chargeable on the transaction value, i.e., the actual price paid or payable after allowable discounts. Discounts given before or at the time of supply, and reflected on the tax invoice (such as bulk, festive, loyalty, or senior citizen discounts), are deductible from the value of supply. Therefore, where a club's menu price is Rs. 1,000 and a 30% discount is granted upfront and shown on the invoice, GST is leviable on Rs. 700, not Rs. 1,000. Post-supply discounts may be deductible only if conditions in the law and prior agreement are satisfied and the recipient reverses proportionate input tax credit. (AI Summary)
