Kaveri Machines Ltd, Pune, sells a machine to Anand Traders for Rs 2,00,000. In the invoice it separately charges Rs 6,000 as packing charges and Rs 4,000 as commission for arranging the sale. Ignoring GST itself, what is the value of supply under section 15?

The value of supply is Rs 2,10,000. Packing charges and commission charged by the supplier to the recipient are incidental expenses that section 15(2)(c) adds to the price, so Rs 2,00,000 plus Rs 6,000 plus Rs 4,000 gives the taxable value.

Explanation

Section 15(2)(c) includes incidental expenses such as commission and packing charged by the supplier to the recipient. Value = 2,00,000 + 6,000 + 4,000 = Rs 2,10,000. Rs 2,04,000 or Rs 2,06,000 wrongly omits one of the two items.
