The written down value of the machinery is not concern for applicability of of GST for second sales. The GST is to be charged for the sales value of machine. The profit or loss on sale of machinery as the case may be is to be accounted as usual for the difference between book value and sales value. Please also note that loss on sale of asset will be added back to Profit in Income Tax memo.
