It includes deemed supply given under Schedule II The paragraph 5(e) of Schedule I provides that agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an act or to tolerate an act or a situation, or to do an act is treated as a supply of service
• Thus, any consideration received for agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an act, is subject to GST. Consideration received for non-compete agreement is deemed as consideration for supply of services Consideration of Rs 45 lakh received on the promise of ABC consultancy of not providing similar services to any other person, is consideration for supply which is chargeable to GST.
• Since GST is not separately collected, it will be assumed that it is included in 45 lakh. Rule 35 of CGST Rules, 2017 provides that where the value of supply is inclusive of GST, the tax amount is determined in the following manner.
• Tax amount = (Value inclusive of taxes x GST rate in %) [IGST or CGST, SGST/UTGST)/(100+ sum of GST rates in %)

Based on the above Analysis, Answer C). GST Applicable with Taxable Value Rs. 38,13,559
