He then exports it to the Australian supplier, invoicing it for ₹ 12,00,000 for processing it into the required tool.

  • Location of Supplier (LOS) is Haryana
  • Place of Supply (POS) is Haryana
  • Nature of Supply= Intra-State

Question 3(c).

Compute the Anti-dumping duty payable by M/s PCB Limited for 1,000 pieces of printed circuit boards it has imported during the year assuming conversion rate @ Rs. 75 per USD.
Answer:
Dumping Margin = Normal Value (USD 200) – Export Value (USD 100) = USD 100

Lower is Anti-Dumping duty ie. @ USD 50
Anti-Dumping Duty = 50 × 75 × 1000 = ₹ 37,50,000

Answer:
Distribution of ITC by Input Service Distributor

Particulars Total Mumbai
(Maharashtra)
Bangalore
(Karnata­ka)
Hyderabad
(Andhra Pradesh)
Trivandrum
(Kerala)
1. Exclusive to Bangalore Unit 12.00 12.0
2. Exclusive to Trivandrum/ Hyderabad Unit(1) 6.00 2.0 2.0 2.0
3. Balance Common ITC in 1:5:3:6 (2) 30.00 2.0 10.0 6.0 6.0 6.0
4. Debit Note (IGST) (3) 6.00 0.4 2.0 1.2 2.4
5. Credit Note (Exclusively in Kerala) (4) (18) (9) (9)
Net Distribution 36 2.4 24.0 9.2 2.4 (1) (1)

Working Notes:
(1) As per section 20(2)(b), the credit of tax attributable as input service to more than one unit shall be pro rata on the basis of turnover of such units. Therefore, ITC of ₹ 6 Lakhs has been distributed among Trivandrum and Hyderabad units in 72:36 i.e. 2:1.
Trivandrum = Rs. 6 × 2/3 = ₹ 4 Lakhs (As CGST and IGST)
Hyderabad = Rs. 6 × 1/3 = ₹ 2 Lakhs (As IGST because recipient is in different state)

(2) The balance common ITC = ₹ 48 – (12 + 6) = Rs. 30 Lakhs
Distributed among all in the ratio of turnover during relevant period ie. Turnover ratio = Mumbai (12): Bangalore (60): Hyderabad (36): Trivandrum (72) or 1:5:3:6
Further the credit to Trivandrum is as CGST & SGST but to other units as IGST since these units are in other states.

(3) The Basic value of debit note is ₹ 50 Lakhs with IGST @ 18%. IT means the IGST to be distributed is equal to 18% of ₹ 50 Lakhs ie. ₹ 6 Lakhs. It has been distributed to all the units on the basis of turnover in the relevant period.

(4) The total value of credit note is ₹ 118 lakhs with GST @ 18%. It means the given amount is inclusive of GST. Thus
GST Component =118 × 18/118 = ₹ 18 Lakhs
There shall be reduction on account of issue of credit note. Since it is exclusively related with Kerala, the same is deducted from Kerala unit as ₹ 9 CGST & ₹ 9 SGST.
