Let us discuss the definition of ‘Agent’ in GST. An agent has been defined under sub-section (5) of section 2 of The Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, (herein after referred to as CGST ACT). I reproduce below the said definition for ready reference.
“(5) “agent” means a person, including a factor, broker, commission agent, arhatia, del credere agent, an auctioneer or any other mercantile agent, by whatever name called, who carries on the business of supply or receipt of goods or services or both on behalf of another”
