Dear Rajive

First of All the Example you have given is Not constitute to be a Composite Supply . As per Section 8(a) ,R/w Sec.2(30) of CGST Act , composit supply comprises two or more supplies , one which is PRINCIPAL SUPPLY , which gives such bundle essential characteristics & accordingly ., TAX RATE OF PRINCIPAL SUPPLY WILL APPLY.

Hence in above example the rate for both item will be either 18% or 28% & rate for the freight charges will also be rate of principal supply.

Now If as per above example , if it is a Mixed Supply then In terms of Section 8(b) , the Freight rate will be the Highest rate of Tax ie 28% & for both item also you need to charge 28%

So as per above it's very important to know whether it's a Composite .Supply or Mixed Supply & charge GST rate Accordingly.

Thanks for your reply

But Sir, this will not treat as a Composite supply? Because Sir i Read a example in Section 2(30) following

llustration: Where goods are packed and transported with insurance, the supply of goods, packing materials, transport and insurance is a composite supply and supply of goods is a principal supply.

So I actually charged 28% Igst in transport also. because Higher rate will be also applicable in case of Composite Supply Like the case of mixed supply.But i was want to knew that is it Composite Supply

Reply Please

In composit supply , rate is applicable of Principal Goods Not Higher rate , kindly refer section 8 of CGST Act .
Yes if your principal Goods is of 28% then It's applies to Freight also being shown in bill .

Sorry it's Notification 12/2017 CT (r) , s.no.18 , if seperate bill is raised for transportation will be exempted.

Note : Advise not to Raise Seperate Bill.

Dear , In composit supply 2 rate cannot be charged in Bill , the rate of principal supply will applicable for whole bill , hence the freight also cover under same . Let's understand by example Food supplied to the Patients in Health care clinic is Exempted . But if the food supplied to other than patient is taxable , why..... Because healthcare services is exempted as principal supply supplied to patients & food supplied is part of composit supply . So as the principal supply is Exempted , the food supplied with it also become exempted.
