This type of supply is also known as barter supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us understand this with the help of an example. Suppose Mr.XYZ is a Chartered Accountant offering Income Tax services, and his friend, also a Chartered Accountant, specialises in GST services. He asks his friend to file his GST returns without any payment, and in return, he agrees to handle his Income Tax matters for free. This exchange of services without consideration under Schedule 1 would be subject to GST as &#8216;Deemed Supply&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GST Input Tax Credit Refund<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the cases where taxpayers can claim the refund of input tax credit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The business runs on a structure of inverted tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supply of services or goods to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/sez.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Special Economic Zone (SEZ)<\/a> units without timely payment of tax.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the cases where taxpayers cannot claim the refund of input tax credit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you export goods that are subject to excise duty, the accumulated input tax credit that you did not use will not be eligible for a GST refund.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If an inverted tax structure prevails in a business, the output will be nil-rated or will be exempt from GST.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Steps to Claim the GST Input Tax Credit Refund<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To claim the GST Input Tax Credit refund, fill up the details of outward supplies invoices or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zendesk.com\/in\/blog\/sales-invoice\/#:~:text=A%20sales%20invoice%20is%20an,buyers%2C%20especially%20for%20larger%20purchases.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> sales invoices <\/a>on the GST portal.

On the other hand, supplies between distinct persons without consideration come under Schedule 1 of the GST Act. However, we can consider these transactions as&#8217;supply&#8217; if meant for the furtherance of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if a business entity makes an activity of import of service from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/import.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">imports business<\/a> or related person residing outside India for the due course of business, it will be a \u2018supply.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One exemption is a gift by the employer to an employee and the cost of gifts is less than \u20b950,000 will not be a supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Valuation of Transactions Between Related Persons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of supply between related persons, except for the supply of goods via agent, can be determined as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In case supply is between two related entities, relationships between two entities influence the prices of supply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you can not determine open market value, then you need to consider the value of goods of quality and kind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For instance, a private limited company ABC Ltd. without consideration supplies management technical services to a company where it has controlling rights, i.e., CBA Ltd.

If the agent makes the supply to the principal when the agent receives the supplies on the principal&#8217;s behalf, GST is applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extension of loan service supply to the recipient by the DCA, who is not an agent, will be an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawinsider.com\/dictionary\/independent-supply#:~:text=Independent%20Supply%20or%20%E2%80%9CIndependent%20Supplies,part%20of%20the%20Supply%20System.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> independent supply<\/a> on a principal-to Principal basis. However, the activity of extension of credit to the recipient by the DCA will not be a separate supply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taxable Person Importing Services From a Related Person<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Import of service would be a supply when the taxable person makes from an establishment or related person outside India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, ABC Inc., a US-based company, is established by A Ltd. and B Ltd., both based in India. If B Ltd. imports business support services from ABC Inc. without any consideration, the import will be treated as supply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is, SHC Ltd. a business in India and holds 50% shares of TC Ltd., a company in the USA. The business auxiliary services that TC Ltd. provides to SHC Ltd. is a supply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Permanent Transfer of Business Assets Where ITC Has Been Availed on Such Assets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be a supply in cases of permanent transfer, sale of business assets, or donation of assets where there has been a condition of availment of input tax credit. It will be a supply even if no valuable consideration is received. Goods and Services Tax applies to the sale or disposal of business assets without consideration only. It does not apply to the sale of personal assets or personal consumption of business assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goods that you send on job work or goods that you send for certification or testing will not be a supply as there is no case of permanent transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deemed supply under GST broadens the tax base by including transactions that you do not ordinarily consider as supplies. It treats certain activities like supply through agents,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/c\/conditional-sales-agreement.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> conditional transfer of business <\/a>assets, etc. as taxable supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses, understanding the rules governing these supplies is crucial for ITC benefits and maintaining business compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f2f5f9\">\ud83d\udca1If you want to streamline your payment and make GST payments, consider using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/piceapp.com\/\">the PICE App<\/a>.
