Businessman Transfers the car for his personal use from his business. He has not claimed ITC on the car. Will it be considered as supply under GST?
-
Avinash Poddar,
19 Oct 2021
As per section 7(1)(c) of the CGST Act, supply will includes activities specified in Schedule - I if it is made or agreed to be made without consideration. Car is transferred for personal use hence, we can say that it is transferred without consideration. So, it will consider to be a supply only in a case where this activity will be covered by Schedule - I. As per clause (1) of Schedule - I, permanent transfer of the business asset will be considered as a supply, if ITC on such business asset has been availed. In the given case, ITC is not availed by the person, hence, transfer of car from business on which ITC is not availed by businessman will not attract GST. The answer may vary in case detailed facts are given but in the given facts we have expressed the above view.

How Composite Supply and Mixed Supply are different from each other? What are tax rates on the same?
-
Avinash Poddar,
19 Oct 2021
Composite supply is defined u/s 2(30) of the CGST Act. It is a combination of 2 or more taxable supplies which is naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other in ordinary course of business and out of which 1 should be a principal supply. Mixed Supply is defined u/s 2(74) of the CGST Act. It is a combination of 2 or more individual supplies made in conjunction with each other for a single price and which do not constitute a composite supplies. So, very basic difference between composite and mixed supply is whether it is naturally bundled and whether it is sold in conjunction with each other in ordinary course of business or not. If yes, then it can be composite supply but if no, then it is mixed supply. Rate of tax on composite supply will be rate applicable to principle supply of composite supply and rate of tax on mixed supply will be the highest rate applicable to any of the constituent supply of the combination.
