CMA Final · Indirect Tax Laws and Practice · Time of Supply

Under section 12(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, how is the time of supply determined for the part of the value of a supply of goods that represents interest for delayed payment of consideration?

The time of supply for interest, late fee or penalty for delayed payment included in the value is the date on which the supplier actually receives that addition in value. It is not tied to the original invoice or delivery dates.

Section 12(6) specifically provides that, to the extent of an addition in value by way of interest, late fee or penalty for delayed payment, the time of supply is the date the supplier receives it. The original invoice date does not govern this component.
