M/s. Virtus Trans of Kolkata is engaged in the trading of transmitters. On 20 th May, M/s. Virtus Trans has sent 500 units of transmitters for exhibition at Chennai on sale or return basis. Out of the said 500 units, 300 units have been sold on 28 th August at the exhibition. Out of remaining 200 units, 150 units have been brought back to Kolkata on 25 th November and balance 50 units have neither been sold nor brought back. Explain the provisions under GST law relating to issue of invoices with exact dates on which tax invoices need to be issued by M/s. Virtus Trans.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Where the goods being sent for sale or return are removed before the supply takes place, the tax invoice shall be issued before or at the time of supply or 6 months from the date of removal, whichever is earlier. In the given case, 500 units of transmitters have been sent for exhibition on sale or return basis out of which 300 units are sold before 6 months from the date of removal. Thus, tax invoice for said 300 units needs to be issued before or at the time of supply of such goods, i.e. upto 28 th August. Remaining 200 (150+ 50) units have neither been sold nor brought back till the expiry of 6 months from the date of removal goods, i.e. 20 th November. Thus, tax invoice for said 200 units needs to be issued upto 20 th November.
