Such discounts are generally passed on by the supplier through credit notes.\u00a0But this is applicable only when the discount is made clear at the time of supply. When it is provided after the sale, it is termed as secondary discount the discounted value should not be excluded to calculate the value of supply.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/gst\/gst-consultancy.php\">\u201cGST<\/a> would be paid on the price recovered from the customer without reversing the input credit.
