Suppose a person X purchases goods from 2 individuals A and B and directs them to transfer them to a company C.
A adds the freight amount in the invoice but B does not do so. The amount of freight would be paid by X.
Now what will be the treatment of this freight if -
1- X shows this amt in invoice and charges gst
2- X does not do so?
Kindly help me please I am very confused.

If transporter is arranged by supplier and it is paid by him then transport value is added in value of supply and gst is leviable on that amount

Yes for c who is supplier... Freight is added to supply only when it is arranged by supplier and paid by him...

1. if supplier is required to pay the freight as per the agreement, then the cost has to be added to the value and GST to be paid accordingly. However, if the supplier is pure agent of the recipient and the cost of freight is to be borne by the recipient, then such cost cannot be taxed as supply of goods.

2. If the receipient pays the freight as per the agreement, it is purchase of transportation service. He will suffer the tax (under RCM OR otherwise) and take credit. Further, if the recipient has paid the freight merely to be reimbursed, then also the amount of freight has to be added to the value of supply.
