Commentary on Rule 7 of the IGST Rules, 2017
Rule 7 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) Rules, 2017, deals with the determination of the place of supply and the value of services attributable to different States or Union territories.
This rule is applicable when the location of the supplier of services or the recipient of services is outside India and the services are supplied in more than one State or Union territory. The rule provides guidelines for the allocation of the value of services in the absence of a specific contract or agreement between the supplier and recipient of services. The rule lays down three distinct methods for determining the value of services attributable to each State or Union territory:
i) In the case of services supplied on the same goods, the value of the service is divided equally among the States and Union territories where the service is performed.
ii) In the case of services supplied on different goods, the value of the service is determined by taking the ratio of the invoice value of goods in each State or Union territory, on which the service is performed, as the ratio of the value of the service performed in each State or Union territory.
iii) In the case of services supplied to individuals, the value of the service is determined by applying generally accepted accounting principles.
The rule also provides three illustrations to help understand its application.
In summary, Rule 7 of the IGST Rules, 2017, provides guidelines for determining the place of supply and the value of services attributable to different States or Union territories when services are supplied in more than one State or Union territory, and either the supplier or recipient of services is located outside India.
