Detailed Solution & Explanation

(a) A registered person is eligible to opt for composition scheme for goods in the current financial year (FY) provided his aggregate turnover does not exceed ₹ 1.50 crore [other than in specified Special Category States] in the preceding FY. Since aggregate turnover of M/s. T in the preceding FY does not exceed ₹ 1.5 crore, he is eligible for composition scheme for goods under section 10(1) and 10(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 in the current FY. As per section 10(2A) of the CGST Act, 2017, a registered person who is eligible to pay tax under section 10(1) and (2) is not eligible for opting for composition under section 10(2A) of the CGST Act, 2017. As per section 10(2A) of the CGST Act, 2017, person engaged in the supply of service is eligible for composition scheme for payment of tax @ 3% CGST and 3% SGST provided his aggregate turnover does not exceed ₹ 50 lakh in the preceding FY. Since turnover of previous year is ₹ 1.32 crore and firm is not dealing in the service only, M/s T cannot opt for composition scheme under section 10(2A) of the CGST Act, 2017 for FY 2023-24. A person who opts to pay tax under composition scheme under section 10(1) and 10(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 is also permitted to supply services [other than restaurant services] upto a value not exceeding: TAXATION (a) 10% of the turnover in a State/U.T. in the preceding financial year, or (b) ₹ 5 lakh, whichever is higher. Thus, M/s T is permitted to supply services upto a value of ₹ 13,20,000 i.e. 10% of ₹ 1.32 crores, in current FY. Further, there is no restriction on composition supplier to receive inter- State inward supplies of goods or services. Thus, it can be concluded that M/s T can opt for composition scheme of goods under section 10(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 for FY 2023-24. (b) (i) Where the supply of goods is made to an unregistered person, the place of supply is the location as per the address of the unregistered person recorded in the invoice. Further, recording of the name of the State of the unregistered person in the invoice is deemed to be the recording of the address of the unregistered person. Thus, place of supply is Bhavnagar, Gujarat. (ii) The hoarding/structure erected on the land should be considered as immovable structure/fixture as it has been embedded in earth. Therefore, the place of supply of service provided by way of supply of sale of space on hoarding/ structure for advertising or for grant of rights to use the hoarding/ structure for advertising is the location where such hoarding/ structure is located. The place of supply of any service provided by way of supply/sale of space on an immovable property or grant of rights to use an immovable property is the location at which the immovable property is located, i.e. the location where such hoarding/ structure is located. Thus, for hoarding located in Udaipur, place of supply is Udaipur, Rajasthan and for hoarding located in Gwalior, place of supply is Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.
