\nTo constitute a composite supply, the various goods and \/ or services forming a composite supply should pass through the test of 'naturally bundled'. This test distinguishes composite supply from mixed supply.
\nIf supply of two or more goods and \/ or services are not naturally bundled, it will be considered as mixed supply and not as a composite supply. There is a special tax treatment of item of goods and \/ or services comprising composite supply.
\nThe applicable rate of tax in case of composite contract is the rate of tax applicable on the item of principal supply comprised in a composite contract whereas the rate of tax applicable on mixed supply is the highest rate of tax applicable on any item of goods and \/ or service comprised in a mixed contract.

Thus, consideration includes the payment in money, payment in kind through goods, payment in kind through provision of services. Payments by a person other than the recipient of goods and \/ or services will also qualify as consideration.
\nReceipt of any subsidy given by Central or State Government will not be considered as consideration and thus the amount of any subsidy will not be considered for the purpose of charge of GST,
\nAdvance consideration received by supplier of goods and \/ or services is considered as a consideration and thus liable to be taxed. But any deposit, whether refundable or not, would not be considered as consideration and thus no tax would be levied thereon.

\nCentral or State Governments, on recommendation of the GST Council have the power to declare any supply of goods as a case of continuous or recurring supply of goods.
\nIn respect of continuous supply of goods where successive statement of accounts or successive payments are involved, the invoice shall be issued before or at the time of each such statement or on receipt of each such payment.
\nThe time of supply of continuous supply of goods will be determined<\/p>\n
