GST on printed books
Just now I have talked with a Book Publishing Company - they told me it's 18% GST on Printed Books ? Is it 18% on Book Printing ? or Selling Books amount ? Please clear my doubt my business is stuck due to this Eg. Book printing cost is Rs 20 + 18% GST and I am selling at Rs 600 - so does me or my customers need to pay 18% GST or it's NIL ? and If I am giving a CD free with my books that is composit supply does still GST will be NIL ?
