In Goods and Services Tax law (GST), tax is payable on ad-valorem basis i.e., specified percentage of value of the supply of goods or services. Section 15 of The CGST Act 2017 and related rules deals with the provisions of Value of Supply which are as hereunder.
Value of supply will be the transaction value (i.e., the price actually paid or payable) provided:
the supplier and the recipient are not related, and
price is the sole consideration for the supply.
Thus, in most of the cases, the transaction value will be the value of supply. However, for the transactions which does not meet the above criteria, valuation rules must be applied to arrive at Value of Supply.
Inclusions and Exclusions from the Value of Supply
Section 15(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 deals with the Inclusions part and Section 15(3) of the CGST Act, 2017 deals with the exclusion part which is summarized as follows:
Section 15(2) – Value of Supply shall include: | Section 15(3) – Value of Supply shall not include: |

Determination of Value of Supply - CGST Rules, 2017
Before we go through the valuation rules for different situations, it is important to undergo the below explanations and rules referred to in the CGST Rules:
“open market value” of a supply of goods or services or both means the full value in money, excluding the integrated tax, central tax, State tax, Union territory tax and the cess payable by a person in a transaction, where the supplier and the recipient of the supply are not related and the price is the sole consideration, to obtain such supply at the same time when the supply being valued is made.
“supply of goods or services or both of like kind and quality” means any other supply of goods or services or both made under similar circumstances that, in respect of the characteristics, quality, quantity, functional components, materials, and the reputation of the goods or services or both first mentioned, is the same as, or closely or substantially resembles, that supply of goods or services or both.
Value of supply of goods or services or both based on cost (Rule 30 of the CGST Rules 2017): Value of Supply shall be 110% of the cost of production or manufacture or the cost of acquisition of such goods or the cost of provision of such services.
Residual method for determination of value of supply of goods or services or both (Rule 31 of the CGST Rules 2017): Value of Supply shall be determined using reasonable means consistent with the principles and the general provisions of Section 15 and the provisions of the Chapter IV of the CGST Rules, 2017.

Value of Supply where consideration is not wholly in money (Rule 27 of the CGST Rules 2017)
For cases, where consideration for a supply is not wholly in money, value has to be determined sequentially as under:
- Open Market Value of such supply;
Aggregate of the consideration in Money and equivalent Monetary value of the consideration not in money, if such amount is known at the time of supply;
Value of supply of like kind and quality;
Aggregate of the consideration in Money and equivalent Monetary value of the consideration not in money as determined under Rule 30;

However, if the recipient of supply is eligible for full input tax credit, the invoice value will be deemed to be the open market value of the goods or services.
Value of supply of goods made or received through an agent (Rule 29 of the CGST Rules 2017)
The value of supply of goods between the principal and his agent shall be determined sequentially as under:
Open market value of goods being supplied, or, at the option of the supplier, be 90% of the price charged for the supply of goods of like kind and quality by the recipient to his unrelated customer, where the goods are intended for further supply by the recipient;
