How is the GST here calculated? Just on the assessable value?
We believe that it should be calculated on (assessable value + customs duty).
It's difficult to apportion taxes to items based on it's rates if we allow Actual's in the template. This directly would affect the reporting where item level information is required to be reported.
I guess your assessable value should be 2035048.46

Yes, it is calculated on Asseseble value and custom duty
Please check another example below where the GST is calculated on (Ass. Value + Custom Duty + SWS +Freight +Insurance)
Above document is already posted in Version 14.
In such cases, ideally your assessable value should be computed after apportioning freight and other charges to your item. In the end such cost is attributable to item and should be loaded likewise through LCV.
Assessable value is not accounted for in BOE. It's just to show an indication of what is the cost attributable to item.
3. GST calculation
This "Actual" Option is available in version 14 for GST calculations. is it restricted in Version 15?
It's a recently introduced validation. It's restricted in both v14 and 15.
This is to ensure item taxes are retained for advanced reporting like GSTR-9. This information will not be available at a later date when HSN wise purchases or 9C is filed (if charge type actual is used).
