Example 22

US$1000 are sold by a Mr.A to the authorized dealer at the rate of Rupees 45 per US$. RBI reference rate for US$ is Rupees 45.50 for that day. Determine the option available to money changer for calculating value of supply?

Ans.   According to Rule 32(2)(a)  (Determination of value in respect of certain supplies) , where currency is changed to/from INR then Value of Supply in GST = [RBI Ref. rate for US$ -selling rate For US$]* Total units of US$  or according to clause (b) at the option of supplier of service

IF Gross amount of currency exchanges (GAE)=  upto 1 lakh

Value =1% GAE or Rs 250 (Which ever higher)

IF GAE = Exceeding 1 lakh and up to 10 lakh

Value= ½ % (GAE-1 lakh) + 1000 Rs

  IF GAE = > 10 lakh  

 Value = 1/10 % (GAE-10lakh) +5500 Rs  (Subject to maximum of Rs 60000)

Thus the value in given example = Rs (45.50-45)1000 = Rs. 500 or according to clause (b) 1% (45*1000) i.e 450.
