Dear GST experts,
Some of our suppliers have added Freight charges, Insurance charges in their Bills on their own but not in our Purchase Orders. After receipt of the Invoices, we deny to pay that extra items like this. The suppliers simply ask us to deduct the amount and raise Debit Note. Whether we can raise Debit Note against suppliers Invoice ???
We were informed and come to understand that only Suplliers can raise Credit Note or Debit Note against their own Invices and Buyers can not raise CN or DN against suppliers Invoice under GST act.

Debit Note in GST
Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani:
The Reply:
Under GST only supplier should issue credit note or debit note as the case may be. However , buyer can issue debit note. In fact buyer is the first person to deny the acceptance of the material or any other cost component in the invoice. So buyer issues debit note based on which supplier issues credit note. Of course credit note or debit note to be issued by supplier for the purpose of compliance in the GST portal in the sense that it auto populates in the GSTR-2A of the recipient compelling him to reverse his input tax credit. Since GSTR 2A matching in not mandatory the purpose of making supplier to upload both the aforesaid note is not visible.

er, barter, exchange, licence, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business. Therefore, the goods or services or both which are supplied free of cost (without any consideration) shall not be treated as 'supply' under GST (except in case of activities mentioned in Schedule I of the said Act). Accordingly, it is clarified that samples which are supplied free of cost, without any consideration, do not qualify as 'supply' under GST, except where the activity falls within the ambit of Schedule I of the said Act.
ii. Further, clause (h) of sub-section (5) of section 17 of the said Act provides that ITC shall not be available in respect of goods lost, stolen, destroyed, written off or disposed of by way of gift or free samples. Thus, it is clarified that input tax credit shall not be available to the supplier on the inputs, input services and capital goods to the extent they are used in relation t

is not an individual supply of free goods but a case of two or more individual supplies where a single price is being charged for the entire supply. It can at best be treated as supplying two goods for the price of one.
ii. Taxability of such supply will be dependent upon as to whether the supply is a composite supply or a mixed supply and the rate of tax shall be determined as per the provisions of section 8 of the said Act.
iii. It is also clarified that ITC shall be available to the supplier for the inputs, input services and capital goods used in relation to supply of goods or services or both as part of such offers.
C. Discounts including 'Buy more, save more' offers:
i. Sometimes, the supplier offers staggered discount to his customers (increase in discount rate with increase in purchase volume). For example- Get 10 % discount for purchases above ₹ 5000/-, 20% discount for purchases above ₹ 10,000/- and 30% discount for purchases above ₹ 20,000/-. Such disc

arameters laid down in sub-section (3) of section 15 of the said Act, including the reversal of ITC by the recipient of the supply as is attributable to the discount on the basis of document (s) issued by the supplier.
iv. It is further clarified that the supplier shall be entitled to avail the ITC for such inputs, input services and capital goods used in relation to the supply of goods or services or both on such discounts.
D. Secondary Discounts
i. These are the discounts which are not known at the time of supply or are offered after the supply is already over. For example, M/s A supplies 10000 packets of biscuits to M/s B at ₹ 10/- per packet. Afterwards M/s A re-values it at ₹ 9/- per packet. Subsequently, M/s A issues credit note to M/s B for ₹ 1/- per packet.
ii. The provisions of sub-section (1) of section 34 of the said Act provides as under:
“Where one or more tax invoices have been issued for supply of any goods or services or both and the taxable valu

issued as a commercial transaction between the two contracting parties.
iv. It is further clarified that such secondary discounts shall not be excluded while determining the value of supply as such discounts are not known at the time of supply and the conditions laid down in clause (b) of sub-section (3) of section 15 of the said Act are not satisfied.
v. In other words, value of supply shall not include any discount by way of issuance of credit note(s) as explained above in para 2 (D)(iii) or by any other means, except in cases where the provisions contained in clause (b) of sub-section (3) of section 15 of the said Act are satisfied.
vi. There is no impact on availability or otherwise of ITC in the hands of supplier in this case.
3. It is requested that suitable trade notices may be issued to publicize the contents of this Circular.
4. Difficulty if any, in the implementation of this Circular may be brought to the notice of the Board. Hindi version will follow.
