What is the Time of supply?

"Time of Supply" describes when products and services are regarded as supplied or sold. All taxpayers must know the applicable rate of SGST, CGST, and IGST while preparing a GST-compliant invoice. The time of supply aids a seller in determining the GST responsibility payment deadline. The seller must pay CGST/SGST/IGST at the time of supply. The rules for determining when to supply products and services are listed below. The earliest of the ensuing dates is the time of supply of the goods.

  • Date of issue of invoice  

  • Date of receipt of payment/advance

  • The last date by which an invoice has been issued

The earliest of the following is the time of supply for service receipt in the case of reverse charge supply. 

  • Date of Payment

  • 30 days following the date from when the invoice was issued (60 days for services).

Value Of Supply Under GST

The term "Value of Supply" refers to the sum the seller receives in return for any goods or services. The GST amount will ultimately be inaccurate if the value is not determined precisely. The cost or consideration the customer gives the supplier constitutes the supply's value in a transaction. It includes additional charges like shipping and handling but excludes GST. Even when they are not sales, some actions—like the transfer of shares between two states—are nonetheless regarded as taxable Transactions. In these circumstances, the open market value or the product's anticipated selling price is the supply value.

Supply Of Services Under GST

The place of supply for goods and services under the GST comprises all supply modes. Some categories are sale, transfer, barter, trade, and licensing. It also covers any rentals, leases, or disposals agreed to by a person in the conduct or advancement of business.

At the moment of supply, there would be an obligation to pay either the federal or state sales tax on services. As per the GST regulation, the time of supply of services shall be the following: 

  • If the invoice is issued within the allowed time frame, the date of issuance or the date of payment receipt, whichever occurs first. 

  • The conclusion of the service's delivery or the day that money is received. If the supplier hasn't received the invoice by the deadline, the date will be related to the earlier processed date. 

  • The date on which the receipt shows the receipt of services in his books of account in the case where the provision of the above clause does not apply.
