Example 38

ABC ltd. has two segment of production one is segment A for product Pet coke (fuel) and another segment B for Product Refectory (Bricks). ABC Ltd voluntarily takes separate registration for their business vertical i.e. pet coke and refectory. Segment A transfers 1000 kg. of pet coke to their segment B without consideration. Segment B used pet coke as intermediary product for further production of Bricks. ABC Ltd has a single PAN for their both segments and both the segments are located in one State but have taken voluntarily separate registration. The elements of costs of production are listed below;

   Particulars   Amount (Rs) 
(i)  Cost of Direct material( inclusive of IGST @ 5%)                            17,325.00
(ii)  Cost of Direct labour                            11,200.00
(iii)  consumables stores and repair                              7,200.00
(iv)  Quality control cost                              4,200.00
(iv)  Research and development Cost                              2,200.00
(v)   Administration Cost   
   Production related                               2,500.00
   others                              1,200.00
(vii)  selling and distribution expense                              3,200.00

(i)                 Whether transfer of pet coke from segment A to segment B is covered under supply.

(ii)               If yes, then calculate value of supply for such transfer.

 

Answer

(i)        As per Section 25(4) of CGST/SGST Act, who has obtained or is required to obtain more than one registration, whether in one State or more than one State, shall, in respect of each such registration, be treated as distinct persons for the purposes of this Act. In the above example ABC Ltd obtained separate registration for their business verticals for product pet coke and Bricks. Thus, as per section 25 Segment A and Segment B are deemed as distinct persons. As per Schedule I, Supply of goods or services between distinct person for the purpose of business or furtherance of business even without consideration shall be considered as supply for GST.

        Hence, transfer of 1000 kg of pet coke from segment A to Segment B even without consideration is deemed as supply under GST.

 

(ii)      Rule 28 of Chapter - IV of CGST Rules, 2017 specifies the manner of determining value of supply of goods or services or both between distinct or related persons, other than through an agent. According to this rule, if open market value and value of supply of goods or services of like kind and quality are not available, then value as determined by application of rule 30 or rule 31, in that order would be applied. Rule 30 provides that value of supply shall be 110% of cost of product / manufacture/ cost of provision of services of such supply.

 

       In the above example, cost of production is to be determined as per rule 30  above  in other words according to ‘cost accounting standard (CAS)-4.

 

Bu applying cost of production as per CAS-4, the value of supply would be computed as under;

   Particulars   Amount (Rs) 
(i)  Cost of Direct material( inclusive of IGST @ 5%)                            17,325.00
   less: IGST  17325*(5/105)                                  825.00
   Cost of material exclusive of tax under GST                            16,500.00
(ii)  Cost of Direct labour                            11,200.00
(iii)  consumables stores and repair                              7,200.00
(iv)  Quality control cost                              4,200.00
(iv)  Research and development Cost                              2,200.00
(v)   Administration Cost   
   Production related                               2,500.00
   Cost of Production as per CAS-4                            43,800.00
   Value of SUPPLY ( 110% of 43800)                            48,180.00
     

 

Notes:-

(i)                 Section 15 specifies that Integrated tax (IGST) or other tax under GST shall not form part of Value of supply and ITC is available on IGST paid on material .

(ii)               Administration cost other than production related shall not form part of cost of production as per CAS -4

(iii)             Selling and distribution expense do not relate to production activity, as such, the same shall not form part of cost of production as per CAS-4.
