Inclusion under Sec 15(2)(b) — 'any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply but which has been incurred by the recipient':
ADecreases the value of supply
BIncreases the value of supply
CHas no impact
DIs taxable only if exceeding Rs 50,000
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Increases the value of supply
1. Sec 15(2)(b) — when the supplier is liable to pay an amount in relation to the supply but the recipient pays it instead, that amount is added to the value of supply.
2. Example: supplier liable for transport but the recipient pays the freight directly — freight is included in value.
3. Reverse of a pure-agent situation: here supplier's own obligation, not recipient's.
