This article has Place of supply Rules under GST in very simple language.

GST is primarily a destination-based consumption tax though there are occasions where it can be origin-based or the place of origin and destination may be same. This, in simple terms, means that the tax collected on supply of services should accrue to the jurisdiction or State in which those services are consumed. It is difficult for services considering the intangible nature of services. Elaborate rules have been made for determining place of supply of goods and services based on the nature of supplies.
