GST
Dear Sir,
Now as GST regime, GST is also charged if supplier is charging Freight on invoice.
In some cases, supplier simply levies Freight without SAC code and charges GST.
Our query is whether we should open a SAC code and show credit on freight amount separately ? or it should be apportioned over the products purchased and taken credit according to that ?
Please clarify ?

or e.g. you buy product of 100 INR with 18% GST with freight cost 10 INR so your total bill would be 110 + 18% = 129.28
Now you buy product of 100 INR with 28% GST with freight cost 10 INR, your bill would be 110 + 28% = 148.8
Freight would be considered as a composite supply in GST

Sir, i totally agree with you. we should not talk individually about freight.
Basically i want to understand how should we claim that gst on Freight.
Should we apportion it over main products and show accordingly in different hsn code or in any of hsn code over invoice ?

If it's mixed supply freight would be charged as per Product with maximum GST rate.
