Determination of value in respect of certain supplies Under GST Rule 6

6.Determination of value in respect of certain supplies

NON OBSTANTE & OPTIONAL CLAUSE.

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the value in respect of supplies specified below shall, at the option of the supplier, be determined in the manner provided hereinafter.

Views: This valuation rule relates to valuation of certain specific supplies particularly by taking power from Section 15 of CGST Act, 2017 and in this case the assessee has an option to opt to Rule 6 for valuation or he can resort to  normal transaction value, as he deems fit. i.e this rule overrules the other rules and is optional to be opted by the assessee.

SALE & PURCHASE OF FOREIGN CURRENCY

(2) The value of supply of services in relation to purchase or sale of foreign currency, including money changing, shall be determined by the supplier of service in the following manner:-

(a) For a currency, when exchanged from, or to, Indian Rupees (INR), the value shall be equal to the difference in the buying rate or the selling rate, as the case may be, and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reference rate for that currency at that time, multiplied by the total units of currency:

Provided that in case where the RBI reference rate for a currency is not available, the value shall be 1% of the gross amount of Indian Rupees provided or received by the person changing the money:

Provided further that in case where neither of the currencies exchanged is Indian Rupee, the value shall be equal to 1% of the lesser of the two amounts the person changing the money would have received by converting any of the  two currencies into Indian Rupee on that day at the reference rate provided by RBI.

Provided also that a person supplying the services may exercise option to ascertain value in terms of clause (b) for a financial year and such option shall not be withdrawn during the remaining part of that financial year.

Views: This valuation rule relates to Sale & Purchase of Foreign Currency including the money changing business, whether by banks or any other person. The concept is being explained with the help of following diagram along with examples/ case studies:

(b) At the option of supplier of services, the value in relation to supply of foreign currency, including money changing, shall be deemed to be

(i) one per cent. of the gross amount of currency exchanged for an amount up to one lakh rupees, subject to a minimum amount of two hundred and fifty rupees;

(ii) one thousand rupees and half of a per cent. of the gross amount of currency exchanged for an amount exceeding one lakh rupees and up to ten lakh rupees; and

(iii) five thousand and five hundred rupees and one tenth of a per cent. of the gross amount of currency exchanged for an amount exceeding ten lakh rupees, subject to maximum amount of sixty thousand rupees.

Views: In this case, if the assessee does not want to follow Rule 6(2)(a), he still has option to pay Tax on notional basis based on a following slab rates, which are simplified by way of the following diagram:

RULE.6(2)(b)

CONDITIONS

  • OPTIONAL
  • ONCE EXERCISED SHALL NOT BE WITHDRAWN DURING THAT F.Y.
  • Applicable for a F.Y.
PER TRANSACTION
Upto 1 Lac 1% of Gross Amt.

Min. = Rs. 250

Max. =Rs. 1000

1 Lac – 10 Lac 1000+ 1/2%(Gross Amt.-1 Lac)

Max. = 1000+4500=5500

Exceeding 10 Lac 5500+1/10% (Gross Amt.-10  Lac)

Max=60000

AIR TRAVEL AGENT SERVICES

(3) The value of supply of services in relation to booking of tickets for travel by air provided by an air travel agent, shall be deemed to be an amount calculated at the rate of five percent. of the basic fare in the case of domestic  bookings, and at the rate of ten per cent. of the basic fare in the case of international bookings of passage for travel by air.

Explanation – For the purposes of this sub-rule, the expression “basic fare” means that part of the air fare on which commission is normally paid to the air travel agent by the airline.

Views: The methodology followed in this case is basically to exclude the value of ticket and to cover the amount being received by the agent as commission. Again, the agent has option to pay GST either on this notional  commission of 5% or 10%, as the case may be or on the original commission amount received by him. The concept  explained by way of following diagram:
