NOTE: UNDER
2. Draw a chart and write a note on Pre-GST Indirect tax structure in India.
Tax structure in India is a three tier federal structure. The central government, state
governments, and local municipal bodies make up this structure. Article 256 of the
constitution states that “No tax shall be levied or collected except by the authority of law”.
Hence, each and every tax that is collected needs to backed by an accompanying law.
The tax system in India for long was a complex one considering the length and breadth of India.
Post GST implementation, which is one of the biggest tax reforms in India, the process has become
smoother. It serves as an all-inclusive indirect tax which has helped in eradicating the cascading
effect of tax as a whole. It is simpler in nature and has led to upgraded the productivity of logistics.
Direct Tax:
Direct Tax is levied directly on individuals and corporate entities. This tax cannot be transferred or
borne by anybody else. Examples of direct tax include income tax, wealth tax, gift tax, capital gains
tax.
Income tax is the most popular tax within this section. Levied on individuals on the income earned
with different tax slabs for income levels. The term ‘individuals’ includes individuals, Hindu Undivided
Family (HUF), Company, firm, Co-operative Societies, Trusts.
Indirect Tax:
Indirect taxes are taxes which are indirectly levied on the public through goods and services. The
sellers of the goods and services collect the tax which is then collected by the government bodies.
• Value Added Tax (VAT)– A sales tax levied on goods sold in the state. The rate depends on the
government.
• Octroi Tax– Levied on goods which move from one state to another. The rates depend on the state
governments.
• Service Tax– Government levies the tax on service providers.
• Customs Duty– It is a tax levied on anything which is imported into India from a foreign nation.
Shortcomings in the current indirect tax laws which would be mitigated and addressed
by the introduction of GST
a. Cascading Effect Presently, the various indirect taxes being levied are not necessarily
mutually exclusive. To illustrate, when the goods are manufactured and sold both excise duty
and state level VAT are levied. The tax credit of one levy is not available for set-off with another
as excise is a central tax and VAT is State level tax. GST will overcome this issue.
b. Complexity in determining the nature of transaction – Goods vs.
Service Double taxation of a particular transaction where both Goods and services are
provided to the consumer will be mitigated . For eg- in case of Restaurant , where food in
form of goods and services are provided to customers, both VAT and Service TAX is levied.
Under GST both the components will be integrated and charged to TAX only once.
c. Exemptions & Concessions Under the current system, businesses enjoy many kinds of
exemptions & concessions under different levies which break the chain of VAT and thus
create distortion. Also these kinds of benefits do not create a level playing field especially
when the same commodity is taxed at different rates in different state jurisdictions.
d. Narrow TAX Base Due to different thresholds under different laws as well as numerous
exemptions and concessions, the current tax base under indirect tax is very narrow and its
covers only a small percentage of population. GST will seek to broaden the TAX base and
engulf more and more business unit.
e. Multiple administrations Under the current system, businessmen are required to visit
different tax offices, file returns, keep records according to the applicable laws to his
business. These increases the compliance cost of businesses and breeds unnecessary
complexity. GST will lower down the cost of compliance for the business units.
Above are the main points of distinction between current Indirect Tax Structure and
GST .
Value added tax (VAT) is a type of tax that is applied to the goods or services produced. It is a form of an
informal tax that is also known as a multi-stage tax. The government implements this tax for the
betterment of services that are provided to the residents. With this additional source of finance, the
government will be able to provide better services to the people. The VAT is applied on all the goods that
are produced in the companies that are registered with VAT. It is the tax that is applied on every step of
production and the total amount is calculated after the completion of the production process.
There are various taxes that have to pay at every stage and differently collected by State and
Central Government and rates differ from one state to another. If we talk about GST, it will unified
whole nation and taxes will be divided among Central and State Government, which will make
easier to provide services and goods across country, as no more additional state taxes will be
imposed.
Imposing several taxes on goods and services can lead to high cost and inefficient tax structure
which can subject to shirking and revenue disclosures. The need for GST in Indian Taxation System
will add value at each stage and will set off the rates both at state and at central level. Introducing
GST, will increase the efficiency of taxation, improves the economic growth and it will bring whole
nation to one national market.
What happen in present scenario? Our present taxation system is very complex and very confusing,
corruption chance is there, which leads to distrust of government, there are hidden tax for
exports, whereas no charge applicable on Importing of Goods/Services from one state to another.
Just to overcome these issues, Rajya Sabha introduced GST bill, which will bring transparency to
taxation and consumer will get to know how much tax amount they are paying to government for
sale/ purchase/ manufacturing.
Following are some of the points that can easily explain the need for GST:-
Tax Structure will be Simple: – At present, there are huge number of taxes that has to pay by
consumers, with GST it will single tax to pay, which is much easier to understand. For businesses,
accounting complexities will reduce and results less paperwork, which will save both time and
money. GST will increase economic GDP by 2%-2.5%.
Tax revenue will increase: Simple tax structure will bring more tax payers and in return it will be
revenue for government.
Competitive pricing: What GST will do? Well, it will eliminate all other taxes of indirect taxes and
this will effectively mean that tax amount paid by end users (consumers) will reduce. As in
Economics, lower will the prices, more will be demand for that product, results in more
consumption of goods, which will be benefited to companies.
Boost to exports: If Indian market will be competitive in pricing, then more and more foreign
players will try to enter the market, which results in more numbers of exporters and benefits to
Indian Market. As far there is no tax rate is finalized, but yes GST is much needed in the countries
where, it lacks transparency and complex taxation system.
There is a question in everyone’s mind……”Do we have to pay tax at different different rates and at
different different levels? Is there no solution to this? Yes, the solution to this is implementation of
GST. GST will take away cascading effect of various taxes that are charged on sale/ production/
purchase and so. Products reaches to customers at very high rate as compared to manufacturing, so
with GST there will be only one tax and it will reduce burden to pay off.
Here are the top 9 steps for GST implementation that every business should follow:-
Step-1 Registration :-
Every business carrying out a taxable supply of goods or services under GST regime and whose turnover
exceeds the threshold limit which can be known in GST guidelines, if you are applicable you will be
required to register as a normal taxable person. This process is of registration is referred as GST
registration.
Now that we know who needs to register, the question arises that are there any benefits for registration?
GST registration is critical because it will enable you to avail various benefits that are available under the
GST regime. One such benefit is to avail seamless input tax credit. Multiple taxes are being clubbed under
GST and thus the cascading of taxes that is prevailing currently will no longer be the case. Also, timely
registration will help you avoid any kind of interface with tax authorities.
GST is going to affect each business in one way or other, so a proper information should be found out
about the supply chain of the organization i.e. which area will be most affected by GST and which area will
be least affected and according to this proper organization realignment should be done.
We know how important invoices are , there importance will increase after the implementation of GST , A
tax invoice is an essential evidence to:
• support a registered person’s claim for the ITC of GST (input tax) incurred;
• trigger the time of supply as the invoice date will determine when GST is to be accounted for by a
registered person on the supply of goods and services (accounting on invoice basis);
now there are certain guidelines that needs to be followed when making this invoices. To know format of
tax invoice please refer article “GST tax invoice”
other invoices like debit, credit notes and other accounting formats should also be aligned according to
GST requirements.
Step- 4 IT systems:
with GST comes a large number of challenges for various organization like detail record keeping has
become necessary, input credit rules are complicated, large number of compliances ,the cost of compliance
is too high for the whole supply chain , a good IT infrastructure can help the organizations in tackling this
challenges hence an updated IT system should be put into place before GST. To know various ways in
which IT can help during GST implementations please read the article”Do you need IT system for
GST? ”
Step-5 Update GSTIN to your trade network :-
GST registration is required to be obtained for each state from where taxable supplies are being made.
Each taxpayer will be allotted a State wise PAN-based 15-digit Goods and Services Taxpayer Identification
Number (GSTIN). This number will serves as an identification prove for businesses and have to used while
making invoices, hence GSTIN of both vendors and customers have should be found out to make invoices
therefore it is necessary for businesses to update GSTIN to Vendors and customers which will be different
in different states.
A taxable person can accumulate credits of taxes paid and carry them forward in a return. With the
introduction of the GST, the last set of credits will have to be transferred. To do this, you must furnish
proof of his/her last return filed under the old regime. You will, therefore, need to make sure that all input
taxes paid are included in it; by doing so, you will be claiming the credit of the same under the new regime.
For example, let’s consider July 1, 2017 as the appointed day for the GST rollout. The taxpayer must make
sure that he/she has taken into account all the stock lying on June 30, 2017 and claim input credit during
the filing of returns for the period ending June 30, 2017. The taxpayer, thus, must ensure that all such
goods and services are eligible for such a credit under the new GST law.
When GST rolls out, each registered taxpayer will get a profile created on the government’s GST website.
The taxpayer using the login credentials will be able to access all features along with a dashboard. All the
taxpayers will also get three electronic ledgers namely E-cash Ledger, E-credit Ledger & E-liability Ledger.
These ledgers will reflect the amount of tax payable, input credit balance, and on adding money to the cash
ledger the taxpayer will also be able to settle the tax liability online.
Getting ready for GST compliance is a huge challenge. Companies need to keep on monitoring their
progress from time to time so as not to fall back. For this proper flow of information is required as fast
information about status can make you make right decisions at right time.
As companies take steps to get ready for GST compliance, they may encounter disruption of internal
processes. They need to take their employees into confidence and explain that this is just a transition
phase and soon they will get used to this, and things will fall into place.
GST is much more stringent than our old taxation system hence even when it seems that your organization
is completely prepared for GST reviewing the rules and your preparedness for GST posses no harm. Keep
reviewing may result in detection of some error which can cause the company to dodge many difficulties in
the future. Hence reviewing and validating the results will be an important step for GST implementation.
Know the best ERP for manufacturing which is GST ready and can save you a lot of trouble.
The various Central, State and Local levies were examined to identify their possibility of being
subsumed under GST. While identifying, the following principles were kept in mind:
• Taxes or levies to be subsumed should be primarily in the nature of indirect taxes, either on the
supply of goods or on the supply of services.
• Taxes or levies to be subsumed should be part of the transaction chain which commences with
import/ manufacture/ production of goods or provision of services at one end and the
consumption of goods and services at the other.
• The subsumation should result in free flow of tax credit in intra and inter-State levels.
• The taxes, levies and fees that are not specifically related to supply of goods & services should
not be subsumed under GST.
• Revenue fairness for both the Union and the States individually would need to be attempted.
On application of the above principles and various papers which have been released in this
regard, it is deduced that the following Central Taxes should be, to begin with, subsumed under
the Goods and Services Tax:
• The Excise Duty levied under the Medicinal and Toiletries Preparations (Excise Duties) Act
1955
• Service Tax
• Surcharges and Cesses levied by Centre are also likely to be subsumed wherever they are in the
nature of taxes on goods or services. This may include cess on rubber, tea, coffee, national
calamity contingent duty etc.
Following State taxes and levies would be, to begin with, subsumed under GST:
• State Cesses and Surcharges in so far as they relate to supply of goods and services
• Purchase Tax
9. What is the major difference in incidence of tax during pre and post GST
implementation with respect to inter-state transfer. Explain with example.
The GST is about to bring the Indian marketplace into the foray of a single unified tax system – the
largest tax reform that the nation has witnessed since independence. The aim of the GST is to
subsume all the existing taxes into a single tax for bringing about ease of credit flow across the nation
(interstate), and across the supply chain – right from the manufacturer to the consumer. Additionally,
with the advent of the GST, concepts such as manufacture, trade and service provisions become
irrelevant as supply becomes the taxable event.
• Intrastate – when a business entity is registered in one state with more than one registration
• Interstate – when there occurs a transfer between two business entities in different states (which
is a taxable event)
The cash flow of a business is greatly impacted under the GST due to the taxability of stock transfers
as tax is paid against a stock transfer on the date of such transfer and the input tax credit is utilized
only when such transfer has been liquidated by the branch receiving the transfer. Therefore,
businesses should keep in mind requirements of additional working capital that may arise due to
taxability of stock transfers, especially businesses operating in the fast-moving consumer goods and
pharmaceutical sectors. SMEs may find this aspect as an obstacle if they don’t pay attention to their
working capital needs.
It may also be noted that funds for seasonal businesses are blocked for long periods of time as the
sales mostly take place only during a particular period in a year – additionally,GST is paid during the
month when the transfers are made from the branch however, the credit shall only be utilized during
the month when the actual sale takes place.
ITC Impact
• Reduction in rate of availability of input VAT for goods or inputs that are used for manufacturing
of finished goods, which are then transferred, with the reversal rate differing from one state to the
other.
• Input VAT credit is mostly available at a rate of 4% excess of the tax paid on the purchase of the
goods. In case VAT is paid at 12.5 % for the purchase of a textile bundle, then an excess of 4 %
amounting to 8.5% shall be permitted as input VAT credit. This 4% will further be reversed. When
such input tax credit is reversed, it is added to the main product cost and leads to a cascading
effect.
Let us consider the following example, under the current tax regime –
VAT
Value of purchase of 10 textile bundles 10,000
CGST 9% 900
SGST 9% 900
CGST 9% 900
SGST 9% 900
SGST 9% 900
Under the GST regime, there are no declaration forms required to be filed for stock transfers, making
the process extremely smooth and doing away with extra effort and costs that dealers had to earlier
incur.
Under the GST regime, the value of a transaction is based on the value of the GST levied on the
goods. Where a stock transfer is in question, the value of the transaction cannot be used to determine
the tax levy as such transfer is made in the absence of a consideration. The determination of tax still
remains a complicated matter under the GST as the tax to be imposed is expected to be valued on
the basis of goods grouped together on the basis of factors such as their qualities, likenes etc. shall
enable the business to decide the cost of production and the profit on the product.
Finalizing of the GST laws and rules are awaited in order to shed light and clarity on these aspects.
Since interstate transactions under the GST allow for seamless flow of input tax credit, businesses
are not required to open branches in all the states in which they operate, for statutory reasons.
Branches or units under the GST are now only required if it is viable for the business in terms of its
commercial operations. This helps a business to cut down costs incurred on opening branches,
enables better planning and preparation, and more importantly, reduces the high volume of branch
transfers.
Businesses can avoid working capital pressure by transferring all stock to a branch that has high
demand – this will ensure that liquidation of stock happens faster.
In conclusion, stock transfers are allowed as credit under the GST despite being fully taxable –
leading to an elimination of the cascading effect of tax as under the current tax system. This will
enable products to be more cost effective at their final value. Finally, working capital pressure is
expected to reduce to a great extent as branch transfers are likely to be more effective under the GST
regime.
10. What are the exclusive products not included in the purview of GST. Why?
There are certain activities which are items not covered under GST. They are beyond the scope of
GST, i.e., GST will not apply on them. These are classified under Schedule III of the GST Act as
“Neither goods nor services”.
1.Services by an employee to the employer in relation to his employment
Related parties include employer-employee which raised many concerns whether employment now
attracted GST. This clarification has been brought in to clarify whether GST is not applicable on
employment. An employee will still pay income tax on salary earned.
2. Court/Tribunal Services including District Court, High Court and Supreme Court
Courts will not charge GST to pass judgement.
3. Duties performed by:
• The Members of Parliament, State Legislature, Panchayats, Municipalities and other local
authorities
• Any person who holds a post under the provisions of the Constitution
• Chairperson/Member/Director in a body established by the government or a local body and
who is not an employee of the same
Apart from Schedule III, GST is also not applicable on the following,i.e., they are beyond the
scope of GST:
1. Petroleum products
2. Alcohol
PART II
11. When GST council was notified and what is its composition.
As provided for in Article 279A of the Constitution, the Goods and Services Tax Council
(the Council) was notified with effect from 12th September, 2016. The Council is comprised
of the Union Finance Minister (who will be the Chairman of the Council), the Minister of
State (Revenue) and the State Finance/Taxation Ministers as members. It shall make
recommendations to the Union and the States on the following issues:
a) the taxes, cesses and surcharges levied by the Centre, the States and the local bodies
which may be subsumed under GST;
b) the goods and services that may be subjected to or exempted from the GST;
c) model GST laws, principles of levy, apportionment of IGST and the principles that
govern the place of supply;
d) the threshold limit of turnover below which the goods and services may be exempted
from GST;
f) any special rate or rates for a specified period to raise additional resources during any
natural calamity or disaster;
g) special provision with respect to the North- East States, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and
Uttarakhand; and
h) any other matter relating to the GST, as the Council may decide.
b) the votes of all the State Governments taken together shall have a weightage of two-thirds of
the total votes cast, in that meeting.
The IGST Model: Inter-State supply of goods or services shall be subjected to integrated
GST (Integrated tax / IGST). The IGST model is a unique contribution of India in the field of
VAT. The IGST Model envisages that Centre would levy IGST (Integrated Goods and Service
Tax) which would be CGST plus SGST on all inter-State supply of goods or services or both.
The inter-State supplier will pay IGST on value addition after adjusting available credit of
IGST, CGST, and SGST on his purchases. The Exporting State will transfer to the Centre the
credit of SGST used in payment of IGST. The person based in the destination State will claim
credit of IGST while discharging his output tax liability in his own State. The Centre will
transfer to the importing State the credit of IGST used in payment of SGST. The relevant
information will also be submitted to the Central Agency which will act as a clearing house
mechanism, verify the claims and inform the respective governments to transfer the funds. The
major advantages of IGST Model are:
b) No upfront payment of tax or substantial blockage of funds for the inter-State supplier or
recipient.
c) No refund claim in exporting State, as ITC is used up while paying the tax.
d) Self-monitoring model.
Tax Rates: Owing to unique Indian socio-economic milieu, four rates namely 5%, 12%, 18%
and 28% have been adopted. Besides, some goods and services are exempt also. Rate for
precious metals is an exception to ‘four-tax slab-rule’ and the same has been fixed at 3%.
13. What are the laws supporting the levy of GST. Explain with examples or
rules.
The One Hundred and Twenty Second Amendment Bill of the Constitution of India, officially known as The
Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016, introduced a national Goods and Services
Tax in India from 1 July 2017.[1]
The GST is a Value added Tax (VAT) proposed to be a comprehensive indirect tax levy on manufacture, sale and
consumption of goods as well as services at the national level. It replaces all indirect taxes levied on goods and
services by the Indian Central and state governments. It is aimed at being comprehensive for most goods and
services.
The Union Government in third week of December, 2014 (19 December, 2014) introduced Constitution (122nd
Amendment) Bill, 2014 in Parliament which when passed shall pave the way for introduction of proposed Goods and
Service Tax (GST) in India. This is an improvised version of lapsed 115th Amendment Bill of 2011.
Contrary to the general perception amongst many quarters that this Bill itself is a GST Bill, let it be very clearly
understood that this is not a GST Bill. In fact, GST Bill is not in sight at all at this point in time. What has been
introduced is only the Constitutional Amendment Bill enabling or empowering the union Government to levy a tax to
be called GST which it cannot levy under the present Constitution. The Bill on passage would enable the Central
Government and the State Governments to levy GST. This tax (GST) shall be levied concurrently by various states
as well as Union Government. Once this is passed by two-third majority in the Parliament, atleast 50 per cent of the
states will have to pass it. Once this amendment is through, the road will be clear for GST Bill (and then Act), given
the political will. Eventually, we will then have the following taxes –
• National level GST [Central GST (CGST) and Inter-state GST (IGST)]
• State Level GST (SGST)
Salient Features of Constitution (One Hundred And Twenty-Second Amendment) Bill, 2014
The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Second Amendment) Bill, 2014 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on
December 19, 2014. The following is the gist of amendments proposed by this Bill:
1. The Bill seeks to amend the Constitution to introduce the goods and services tax (GST). Consequently, the GST
subsumes various central indirect taxes including the Central Excise Duty, Additional Excise Duties, Service Tax,
Additional Customs Duty (CVD) and Special Additional Duty of Customs (SAD), etc. It also subsumes state Value
Added Tax (VAT)/Sales Tax, Central Sales Tax, Entertainment Tax, Octroi and Entry Tax, Purchase Tax and Luxury
Tax, etc.
2. Concurrent powers for GST: The Bill inserts a new Article 246A in the Constitution to give the central and state
governments the concurrent power to make laws on the taxation of goods and services
3. Integrated GST (IGST): However, only the centre may levy and collect GST on supplies in the course of inter-state
trade or commerce. The tax collected would be divided between the centre and the states in a manner to be
provided by Parliament, by law, on the recommendations of the GST Council.
4. GST Council: The President must constitute a Goods and Services Tax Council within sixty days of this Act coming
into force. The GST Council aim to develop a harmonized national market of goods and services.
5. GST council examines issues relating to goods, services tax and make recommendations to the Union, and the States
on parameters like rates, exemption list and threshold limits. The Council shall function under the Chairmanship of
the Union Finance Minister and will have the Union Minister of State in charge of Revenue or Finance as member,
along with the Minister in-charge of Finance or Taxation or any other Minister nominated by each State Government.
6. Composition of the GST Council: The GST Council is to comprise of the following three members / class of members:
1. the Union Finance Minister (as Chairman),
2. the Union Minister of State in charge of Revenue or Finance, and
3. the Minister in charge of Finance or Taxation or any other, nominated by each state government.
7. Functions of the GST Council: These include making recommendations on:
• taxes, cess and surcharges levied by the centre, states and local bodies which may be subsumed in the GST;
• goods and services which may be subjected to or exempted from GST;
• model GST laws, principles of levy, apportionment of IGST and principles that govern the place of supply;
• the threshold limit of turnover below which goods and services may be exempted from GST;
• rates including floor rates with bands of GST;
• special rates to raise additional resources during any natural calamity;
• special provision with respect to Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand; and
• Any other matters relating to the goods and services tax, as the Council may decide.
8. The Goods and Service Tax Council shall recommend the date from which the goods and service tax be levied on
petroleum crude, high speed diesel, motor spirit (commonly known as petrol), natural gas and aviation turbine fuel.
9. Resolution of disputes: The GST Council may decide upon the modalities for the resolution of disputes arising out of
its recommendations.
10. Restrictions on imposition of tax: The Constitution imposes certain restrictions on states on the imposition of tax on
the sale or purchase of goods. The Bill amends this provision to restrict the imposition of tax on the supply of goods
and services and not on its sale.
Focus under GST is to arrive at such rates which would not decrease the current revenue generation
by Central & State government. Revenue Neutral Rate(RNR) is a structure of different rates
established in order to match the current revenue generation with revenue under GST. RNR
calculation has to include the cascading effect on certain goods having no excise or sales tax
implications.
For example-: Wheat would get costlier due to RNR fixed for diesel being higher than current tax rate
even though wheat does not have any excise or sales tax implications.
The government of India had appointed a committee which is headed by Dr. Arvind Subramanian.
Committee had released a detailed report on the calculation of RNR and the tax structure. RNR is
calculated by the committee with three different approaches-:
• Macro approach-:
RNR is calculated on basis of total data for domestic output/net imports and consumption of
capital inputs. GST has a positive rate and zero rates on exports are two assumptions under this
approach. RNR found to be 11.6% after factoring compliance of GST at 80%.
This Approach was shared by NIPFP(National Institute of Public Finance Policy). There are
three steps under this approach-:
The approach was shared by the Thirteenth Finance Commission. RNR is calculated on the basis of
input tax data of all the registered entities. This approach puts the RNR at 11.98 %.
RNR is likely to be selected around 18% after making few changes to the indirect tax turnover
approach.
15.What are the categories of Goods and Services for levying GST.
According to Government of India, nearly 50% of regularly using items including food items are included in
exempted categories which do not attract GST at present. The GST council and other GST authorities notifies list of
exempted goods time to time. Such goods are not fallen under payment of GST tax.
GST rate for Essential Goods and Services in India (Common Goods and
services)
Essential category of goods and services (common goods and services) are charged lower GST rate of 5%.
Essential goods and services (Commonly used) are the goods and services for necessary items and items under
basic importance.
GST rate for Standard Goods and Services for GST in India
A major share of GST tax payers falls under this category of Standard Goods and Services. There are two slabs of
GST under standard goods and services. Standard Goods and services fall under one slab attract 12% GST and the
items under 2nd slab attract 18% GST.
GST rate for Special category of Goods and Services in India.
A GST rate of 28% is levied at present against Goods and Services of special category of Goods and Services. The
luxury items also fall under this special category of goods and services
Household necessities such as edible oil, sugar, spices, tea, and coffee (except instant) are included. Coal ,
5%
Mishti/Mithai (Indian Sweets) and Life-saving drugs are also covered under this GST slab
Luxury items such as small cars , consumer durables like AC and Refrigerators, premium cars, cigarettes and
28%
aerated drinks , High-end motorcycles are included here.
Though edible items like sugar, tea and coffee are included in the 5% slab, milk does not attract any tax
under the new GST regime. The idea behind this is to ensure that basic food items are available for
everyone but instant food is kept out of this category.
No Tax
Apart from other items that enjoy zero GST tax rate, these are the commodities added to the list after 11th
June rate revision –
• Hulled cereal grains like barley, wheat, oat, rye, etc.
• Bones and horn-cores unworked and waste of these products.
• Palmyra jaggery
• All types of salt
• Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) of animal feed grade conforming to IS specification No. 5470 :2002
• Kajal [other than kajal pencil sticks]
• Picture books, colouring books or drawing books for children
• Human hair – dressed, thinned, bleached or otherwise worked
• Sanitary Napkins
• Unit container-packed frozen branded vegetables (uncooked/steamed)
• Vegetables preserved using various techniques including brine and other preservatives that are
unsuitable for immediate human consumption.
• Music Books/manuscripts
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. It is classified into three types:
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the government wanted to keep the GST rates close to the original
rates. But there were differences in case of some items because of the changes in the economy as well
as customer preferences. Some commodities were kept in the high tax bracket (18-28%) but on
scrutinizing the list, they found that these commodities should be considered as necessities and not
luxuries. This is why the GST rates were revised for commodities such as notebooks, exercise books,
spectacles and lenses and some other items.
Such activities or transactions undertaken by the Central Government, a State Government or any local authority in
which they are engaged as public authorities, as may be notified by the Government on the recommendations of the
Council.
1.In case of Transfer of title in goods, OR, Right in goods, OR of undivided share in goods without the transfer of
title, OR, transfer under an agreement which stipulates that property will pass at a future date upon payment of full
consideration
2.In case of Land & Building, – Any lease, tenancy, easement, license to occupy land or building ( both for
commercial or residential purpose, fully or partly)
4.Transfer of Business Assets – Where goods forming part of the assets of a business are transferred or disposed
of, and are no longer forming part of business OR Where goods held for business are put to use for any private
use, in such a way, as not for business OR Where any person ceases to be a taxable person, any goods earlier
forming part of business, unless (a) the business is transferred as a going concern to another person, or (b) the
business is carried on by a personal representative who is deemed to be a taxable person With or Without for a
Consideration
• construction of a complex, building, civil structure or a part thereof, including a complex or building
intended for a sale to a buyer, wholly or partly, except where the entire consideration has been received
after issuance of completion certificate;
• Temporary transfer or permitting the use or enjoyment of any intellectual property right;
o Supply, by way of or as part of any service or in any other manner whatsoever, of goods, being food
or any other article for human consumption or any drink ( other than alcoholic liquor for human
consumption), where such supply or service is for cash, deferred payment or other valuable
consideration.

19. Ram Enterprises purchased goods from Shyam Enterprises. The goods were supplied
on 15/01/2018. Ram Enterprises paid an advance of Rs. 1,00,000 for purchases on
10/01/2018. The invoice was raised on 30/01/2018. Explain with respect to supply
Ans: Time of supply of services is earliest of :
1. Date of issue of invoice.
2. Date of receipt of advance/ payment.
3. Date of provision of services (if invoice is not issued within prescribed period).
In the above example, on Jan 10 the Advance was paid
On Jan 15, goods were supplied
On Jan 30, Invoice was issued.
Earliest of the above was, 10 th January, hence that was the Time of Supply.
20.Mr. Y was travelling from Hyderabad to Bengaluru on flight. During his journey he
purchased some books. Determine the incidence of tax. Identify place of supply.
Ans. In the case of transport, origin place will be treated as place of supply. Hence place of
supply would be Hyderabad. And incidence of tax would be CGST and SGST.
21. What is Composite supply and Mixed Supply. What is the rate of tax applied?
Composite supply means a supply made by a taxable person to a recipient and :
✧Comprises two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or both, or any
combination
there of.
✧Are naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other, in the ordinary
course of business.
This means that in a composite supply, goods or services or both are bundled owing to
natural necessities. The elements in a composite supply are dependent on the principal
supply.
A composite supply comprising of two or more supplies, one of which is a principal
supply,
shall be treated as a supply of such principal supply.
Example : when a consumer buys a refrigerator and he also gets warranty and a
maintenance contract with the manufacturer. This is a composite supply. In this example
supply of Refrigerator is the principal supply, warranty and maintenance services are
ancillary.
In the same manor, in a hotel you booked a Room for stay, and they offered
complimentary
breakfast, here Room is principal supply and breakfast is ancillary.
Principal Supply :
“Principal Supply” is the supply of goods or services which constitutes the predominant
element of a composite supply and to which any other supply forming part of that
composite
supply is ancillary.
The concept of principal supply emerges only for the determination of composite supply.
Tax liability will be the tax on the principal supply i.e., GST rate on the goods.
Mixed supply means:
✧Two or more individual supplies of goods or services, or combinations thereof, made
in conjunction with each other by a taxable person.
✧For a single price where such supply does not constitute a composite supply.
The individual supplies are independent of each other and are not naturally bundled. A
mixed supply comprising of two or more supplies shall be treated as supply of that
particular
supply that attracts highest rate of tax.
For example :
A Diwali gift box consisting of canned foods, sweets, chocolates, cakes, dry fruits, aerated
drink and fruit juices supplied for a single price is a mixed supply. All are also sold
separately. Since aerated drinks have the highest GST rate of 28%, aerated drinks will be
treated as principal supply and 28% will apply on the entire gift box.
1. Audits
Audit under GST is the examination of records maintained by a registered dealer. The aim is to verify
the correctness of information declared, taxes paid and to assess the compliance with GST.
2. Assessment
Assessment under GST means the determination of tax liability under GST. Assessment under GST
has been divided into 5 types:
a. Self Assessment
Under GST, every registered taxable person shall assess the taxes payable by them on their own,
and furnish a return for each tax period. This is called self-assessment.
b. Provisional Assessment
A registered dealer can request the officer for provisional assessment if he is unable to determine the
value of goods or rate of tax. The proper officer can allow the assessee to pay tax on a provisional
basis at a rate or a value specified by him.
c. Scrutiny Assessment
A GST officer can scrutinize the return to verify its correctness. The officer will ask for explanations on
any discrepancies noticed in the returns.
d. Summary Assessment
Summary Assessment is done when the assessing officer comes across sufficient grounds to believe
any delay in showing a tax liability can harm the interest of the revenue. To protect the interest of the
revenue, he can pass the summary assessment with the prior permission of the additional/joint
commissioner.
4. Advance Ruling
Advance Ruling under GST means seeking clarifications from GST authority on certain tax matters
before starting the proposed activity. This helps to reduce costly litigation.
An advance ruling is a written decision given by the tax authority to an applicant on queries related to
the supply of goods/services.
23. What are the types a dealer can opt at registration?
GST Department has introduced numerous types of GST return and GST registration
forms. In order to clear any kind of misconception or confusion regarding GST return
and registration form. We have enlisted in various procedures to get the required forms
applicable to individual dealers.
We have provided a small flow chart depicting the methods and directions to be used for
the fulfilment of the GST compliances:
• Regular Dealer
• Composition Dealer
• Tax Deductor
• Input Service Distributor
• UN Bodies / Embassies
• Non-Resident Assessee
• Temporary Registration
• E-Commerce Dealer
24.What is the threshold limit for composite dealers & Registered dealers.
Composition Scheme:
Small businesses having an annual turnover less than Rs. 1 crore* ( Rs. 75 Lakhs for NE
States) can opt for Composition scheme.
*GST Council decided to increase the limit to Rs. 1.5 crores but notification was issued. And
new threshold limit is 1.5 Crore p.a...
Composition dealers will pay nominal tax rates based on the type of business:
• Composition dealers are required to file only one quarterly return (instead of three
monthly returns filed by normal taxpayers).
• They cannot issue taxable invoices, i.e., collect tax from customers and are required to
pay the tax out of their own pocket.
• Businesses that have opted for Composition Scheme cannot claim any input tax credit.
• Service providers
• Inter-state sellers
• E-commerce sellers
• Supplier of non-taxable goods
• Manufacturer of Notified goods.
NORMAL/REGULAR REGISTRATION:
In the normal case registration is required once threshold limit of Rs 20 L (Rs 10 L in case of Special
Category States) crosses as per Sec 22 of CGST Act.
The overall transaction volume of B2B is much higher than that of B2C transactions. The primary reason for
this is that in a typical supply chain there will be many B2B transactions involving subcomponents or raw
materials, and only one B2C transaction, specifically sale of the finished product to the end customer. For
example, an automobile manufacturer makes several B2B transactions such as buying tires, glass for
windscreens, and rubber hoses for its vehicles. The final transaction, a finished vehicle sold to the consumer, is
a single (B2C) transaction.
It might be possible that the subjects of transactions are same for example selling of a Car to a person who is re-
designing or modifying it and then selling it to ultimate consumers on the other hand a Car sold to the ultimate
consumer directly from show room. Even though the subjects in the transaction are same, but in the first
example it is a B2B transaction and in the other it is a B2C transaction.
For the following differences, the B2C and B2B transactions are taxed under GST in a different manner:
• Nature of Supply:
There is several B2B transition in one supply chain of a product until it reached to ultimate consumer where a
B2C transaction occurs.
The credit of GSTs (CGST/SGST/IGST) paid in B2B moved through entire supply chain where the supply
receiver is paying GSTs and Supplier gets credit of input tax paid at the time of acquisition. In B2C transaction
the supply receiver is the ultimate consumer who shall ultimately bear the all GSTs paid on the final supply and
not entitled to get any credit of GSTs paid by him.
• Place of Supply
In B2C in general the transactions happened immediately on the spot, the determination of place of supply is
easier than B2B transactions. In B2C transactions are generally followed after a long process like, quotation,
negotiation, supply, payment, return/reimbursement on deficiencies etc.
The B2B supplies are completes in several trances of supply, they may be running in nature also.
• Time of Supply
In B2C the time of supply are immediate after purchase and payment which are generally on spot. In B2B the
time of supply may be at the time of supply actually made, date of Payment or the date of periodical returns or
date of payment of GSTs depends upon the facts and documentation of transactions.
• Place of taxation
Place of taxation is generally the place of destination of supply, in B2C the place of destination are generally the
place of delivery, but in B2B, the place of taxation may be different or may be more than one, it may be
registered office of the company or may be the place where actually goods delivered or the services rendered.
Input Tax in relation to a taxable person, means the Goods and Services Tax charged on
any supply of goods and/or services to him which are used or intended to be used, during
furtherance of his business. Fulfilment of Input Tax Credit under GST - Conditions ToClaim
is one of the most critical activity for every business to settle its tax liability. ITC being the
backbone of GST and a major matter of concern for the registered persons, conditions for
eligibility to ITC and eligible ITC have been prescribed which is more or less
in line with pre - GST regime. These rules are also quite particular and stringent in its
approach.
The following conditions have to be met to be entitled to Input Tax Credit under the GST
scheme :
1. One must be a registered taxable person.
2. One can claim Input Tax Credit only if the goods and services received is used for
business purposes.
3. Input Tax Credit can be claimed on exports/zero-rated supplies and are taxable.
4. For a registered taxable person, if the constitution changes due to merger, sale or
transferof business, then the Input Tax Credit which is unused shall be transferred to the
merged,sold or transferred business.
5. One can credit the Input Tax Credit in his Electronic Credit Ledger in a provisional
manner on the common portal as prescribed in model GST law.
6. Supporting documents - debit note, tax invoice, supplementary invoice, are needed to
claim the Input Tax Credit.
7. If there is an actual receipt of goods and services, an Input Tax Credit can be claimed.
8. The Input Tax should be paid through Electronic Credit/Cash ledger.
9. All GST returns such as GST-1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 needs to be filed.

which attract reverse charge. However, this is not all.
As per Sec 9(4) of CGST Act, if a registered person purchases goods/services from an
unregistered dealer (URD) then the registered taxpayer is liable to pay GST on reverse
charge basis. All the provisions of the Act will apply to such recipient as if he were the

This provision will apply if the below conditions are met:
●There should be a supply of goods or services.
●The supply should be in respect of taxable goods/services.
●Supply must be by an unregistered person.
●Supply must be to a registered person.
●Supply must be an intra-state supply as compulsory registration is required for
interstate sales.
