QUESTION:

We are running a
painting exhibition hall. Now, we propose to take certain paintings to an
exhibition to be held abroad. After 20 days, we will bring them back. Will this
transaction be deemed as exports? Some say that there is no permission to do
like this. It is confusing. We need your counsel.
Answer:
There is no tax for the
paintings to be taken for exhibition in a Foreign Country. You can carry them. While carrying them, you
may furnish the details about the Exhibition to be held in the Foreign Country,
as a proof. For this, there is no restriction. You have to follow the
prevailing tax rules of the Custom and Excise.

the date of supply.

Question:
6
We are manufacturing
automobile spare parts and also selling. Sometimes, the Other State Customers
will instruct us to deliver the goods directly to their agents in Tamilnadu. We
will send the bills to Other State Customers.
After implementation of GST, whether this practice is possible? Please
explain
Answer:
Good question. You
can do such transactions without any restrictions. But you must understand the levy of tax on
such transactions clearly. Even if you have
delivered the goods to those persons in your own State, since billing is made
on Other State Customers, such transactions will be deemed as Other State
Supply. Hence you must collect Integrated GST (IGST).
