EXAMPLE-91

AB Ltd in Uttar Pradesh procures 1000 paper reems from the XYZ Ltd in Haryana. AB Ltd arranged themselves for transport facility for taking goods (paper reems) to the place of their factory in Uttar Pardesh. The whole responsibilities for any loss during transit are of AB Ltd, i.e. the recipient.

Determine place of Supply and whether transaction of supply is in intra-state or inter- state.

Answer

Where the goods involved movement of goods, the place of supply of goods shall  be the location of the goods at the time at which the movement of goods terminates for delivery to the recipient. (section 10(1)(a) of IGST Act)

Thus, even transport of goods borne by the recipient even then movement of goods terminates at the place of recipient i.e. Uttar Pardesh in the given example.Thus, place of Supply is Uttar Pardesh and the transaction is inter-state.
