Time of Supply, Place of Supply, and Value of Supply in GST**



**I. Time of Supply (TOS):**


**Meaning of Goods and Services:**

- In the context of GST, "goods" refer to tangible items, while "services" pertain to intangible activities provided for consideration.


**TOS Under Reverse Charge Mechanism:**

- Under reverse charge, the liability to pay GST is shifted from the supplier to the recipient of goods or services.

- Time of supply under reverse charge is the earliest of the following:

  1. Date of receipt of goods or services.

  2. Date of payment as per books.

  3. Date immediately after 30 days from the supplier's invoice.


**Invoicing Provisions:**

- Invoicing is a critical aspect of GST compliance.

- A GST-compliant invoice should include supplier and recipient details, description of goods/services, GSTIN, HSN/ SAC codes, and more.


**Provisions Related to Change in GST Rate:**

- When the GST rate changes for a particular product or service, there are specific rules to determine the tax liability:

  - If the supply is before the rate change, the old rate applies.

  - If the supply is after the rate change, the new rate is applicable.


**II. Place of Supply (POS):**


**POS Meaning:**

- Place of supply refers to the location where a supply of goods or services is considered to have occurred for GST purposes.


**POS of Goods and Services:**

- The POS rules differ for goods and services:

  - For goods, it's usually the location where the goods are delivered.

  - For services, it can be the supplier's place, recipient's place, or a third location, depending on various factors.


**Intra and Interstate Supply:**

- Intra-state supply occurs when both the supplier and recipient are in the same state, and SGST + CGST are applicable.

- Interstate supply happens when the supplier and recipient are in different states, and IGST is applicable.


**III. Value of Supply:**


**Meaning:**

- The "value of supply" is the amount on which GST is calculated for a particular transaction.


**Provisions Related to Determination of Value of Supply of Goods and Services:**

- The value of supply includes:

  - The transaction value (price) between unrelated parties.

  - Additions such as taxes, duties, and incidental expenses.

  - Exclusions like subsidies and discounts.


**Determination of GST Liability:**

- GST liability is calculated by applying the relevant GST rate to the value of supply.

- Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be deducted from the GST liability, resulting in the final tax payable.
