Sharma Traders Pvt. Ltd. sells goods to an unrelated buyer at a price of ₹80,000. It separately charges ₹6,000 as packing charges and ₹4,000 as commission on the same invoice. GST is charged extra. What is the value of supply under Section 15?

The value of supply is ₹90,000. Packing charges and commission charged by the supplier to the recipient are incidental expenses that Section 15(2)(c) includes in value, so they are added to the ₹80,000 price: 80,000 + 6,000 + 4,000.

  4. D₹90,000Correct

Explanation

Section 15(2)(c) includes incidental expenses, including commission and packing, charged by the supplier to the recipient. Value = 80,000 + 6,000 + 4,000 = ₹90,000. Taking only one of the two charges, or neither, understates the value.
