The Maharashtra bench of the GST-Appellate Authority for Advance Rulings (AAAR) has held that the incentive earned by the reseller, from a US entity, is not in the nature of a ‘trade discount’. In other words, the reseller will have to bear a goods and services tax (GST) of 18% on such an incentive, which was based on attaining quarterly targets on eligible Intel products.
