Rate of exchange of currency
Rule 8 of draft GST valuation Rules provides that the rate of exchange for determination of value of taxable goods or services or both shall be the applicable reference rate for that currency as determined by the Reserve Bank of India on the date when point of taxation arises in respect of such supply in terms of Section 12 or, as the case may be, Section 13 of the Act.
Issue
The rules make a reference to the ‘point of taxation’ and such the concept of Point of Taxation does not exist in GST.
Suggestion
It is suggested the words “point of taxation” be replaced with the words ‘time of supply’.
