09 July 2024 Let's address each of your questions regarding Goods and Services Tax (GST) and e-Way Bills in the context of goods sent for testing:

1. **Rate of GST on Goods Sent for Testing**:
- Goods sent for testing are generally subject to GST under the provisions related to job work. As of my last update, the rate of GST applicable depends on the nature of the goods being sent for testing and whether the testing constitutes a supply of services or not.
- If the testing involves supply of services, the applicable GST rate would depend on the nature of the service provided under GST provisions (such as 18% for most services).
- However, if the testing does not constitute a supply of services but falls under job work, then GST might be levied at a concessional rate (often 5% or 12%, depending on the category of goods).

2. **Is Testing considered under Job Work?**:
- Job work is a specific concept under GST where a principal manufacturer sends goods to a job worker for processing, testing, or any other treatment to complete a manufacturing process or any intermediate process.
- Testing of goods can indeed be considered as a form of job work if the goods are sent to a third party for testing purposes. In such cases, the provisions related to job work under GST would apply, including the concessional rate of GST depending on the nature of goods and services involved.

3. **Raising e-Way Bill in case of Testing**:
- Under GST, an e-Way Bill is required for the movement of goods worth more than Rs. 50,000 from one place to another in certain circumstances. This includes cases where goods are sent for testing purposes.
- When goods are sent for testing, whether within the state or outside the state, an e-Way Bill needs to be generated if the value of the consignment exceeds Rs. 50,000.
- The e-Way Bill should be generated by the person causing the movement of goods (usually the supplier/principal) before the commencement of such movement.

In summary, for goods sent for testing:
- GST would typically apply depending on whether the testing constitutes a supply of services or falls under job work.
- Job work provisions could apply if goods are sent for testing to a third party.
- An e-Way Bill needs to be generated if the value of goods sent for testing exceeds Rs. 50,000, regardless of whether it's within the state or interstate movement.
