How to determine Place of Supply of Goods in case of Bill to Ship to transactions?

Clause (b) of sub-section (1) of section 10 of IGST Act is the governing rule for deciding place of supply in case of bill to ship to transactions. This clause creates a deeming fiction and focus on the person from where directions for delivery is coming rather than focusing on place of actual delivery. As per this clause, place of actual delivery is to be ignored while deciding nature of transaction and GST is charged as per the location of person giving directions for delivery. 

Below are some examples for better understanding of above provision. 

Ex 1) 

Supplier of Delhi (A) receives an order from Buyer of Maharashtra (B) but buyer directs the supplier to directly deliver the goods to one of its customer located in Delhi (C).

(Bill to B in Maharashtra & Ship to C in Delhi)

Location of Supplier – Delhi

Place of Supply – Maharashtra (Although goods have been actually delivered to C in Delhi, but supplier did the same on the direction of B, therefore it shall be deemed that B has received the goods and place of supply shall be the principal place of business of B i.e. Maharashtra)

Nature of Supply – Inter State Supply

Type of GST applicable - IGST

 

Ex 2)

Supplier of Delhi (A) receives an order from Buyer of Delhi (B) and buyer directs the supplier to deliver the goods to one of its customer located in Maharashtra (C).

(Bill to B in Delhi & Ship to C in Maharashtra)

Location of Supplier – Delhi

Place of Supply – Delhi (Although goods have been delivered to C in Maharashtra,  but supplier did the same on the direction of B, therefore it shall be deemed that B has received the goods and place of supply shall be the principal place of business of B i.e. Delhi)

Nature of Supply – Intra State Supply

Type of GST applicable – CGST & SGST
 

Whether clause (b) applies to branches also? If, in the above examples, C is the branch of B instead of its customer, then also clause (b) would come into play. Under GST regime all branches located in different states are treated as distinct persons and are under compulsion to get separate GST Number. Therefore clause (b) would apply in case of branches also.  Now ideally B would raise an invoice on its branch C to transfer the credit of GST into the hands of C. And B would also charge IGST on the same.
