Q.10. My aggregate turnover is less than Rs. 20 lacs but I made some inter-state supply of services. Do I need to register under GST?
No, if your aggregate turnover is less than Rs. 20 lacs, you do not need to register just because you are making inter-state supply of goods.
I AM PROVIDING ACCOUNTING,TAXATION SERVICES, LOCAL AND INTERSTATE BOTH. MY RECEIPTS UP TO FY 1617 WERE LESS THAN 20 LAC P.A., IN THE YEAR 1718- I STILL NOT HOPE TO ACHIEVE GROSS RECEIPTS UP TO 20 LACS.
DUE TO MY INTERSTATE SERVICES. I HAVE TAKEN GSTIN REGISTRATION IN SEPT 2017.
CAN I SURRENDER MY GSTIN NOW. PLEASE ADVISE .
I am a Mutual Fund Distributor. I am registered with GST although my turnover is less than threshold limit of 20 lakh on account of Interstate Supply. Now Govt has relaxed the Registration upto Rs 20 lakh including interstate supply. Now there will be no GST liability under RCM for Unregistered MFD till 31/03/2017. But being a Registered MFD I have to file Returns and pay the GST. Can I cancel my GST Registration, if yes when and how ?
The effective date of applicability in case of inward supplies from un-registered persons is not told anywhere including notification no.38/2017(Central Tax) dt.13-10-17. Like that any of the notifications released on 13-10-17. Next in notification 38/2017, they missed out to mention the word “Rate” next to the number. So a big ? to all of us about the effective date of applicability. Had these notifications issued stating “in suppression of”, we may interpret that it is applicable from the date of original notification. Unnecessary disputes will come up and piling up of cases like in service tax.
When HSN codes are in place under GST against Tariff Headings, why still same nomenclature is being continued to refer in the notifications issued so far?
In Work Contracts, some goods would be purchased under 28% GST. Whereas it is told that Works Contracts come under Services which has only 18% GST. So How to Bill to the Customer. And in Work Contracts while Billing only SAC Code need to be written or both SAC & HSN Codes also need to be written in invoice or not necessary. Kindly clarify. Regards
