In re Dagger Die Cutting (India) Private Limited (GST AAR Tamilnadu)

Whether to charge IGST or SGST/CGST on the sales made by the Applicant?

.The Advance ruling sought is whether CGST & SGST or IGST is payable on the said supply. i.e., whether the transaction is an inter-state supply or intra-state supply. In this connection Section 97 of the CGST Act / Tamil Nadu GST Act (TNGST) has given the scope of Advance Ruling Authority, i.e., the question on which the Advance Ruling can be sought.

The Act limits the Advance Ruling Authority to decide the issues earmarked for it under Section 97(2) and no other issue can be decided by the Advance Ruling Authority. The issue for which Advance Ruling is sought depends on the ‘Place of Supply’ of the goods, which is not in the ambit of this authority. The Application is therefore rejected without going into the merits of the case, on the issue of lack of jurisdiction.

FULL TEXT OF ORDER OF AUTHORITY OF ADVANCE RULING

Note : Any appeal against the advance ruling order shall be filed Before the Tamilnadu State Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling, Chennai 600 005 under Sub-section (1) of Section 100 of CGST ACT / TNGST Act 2017 within 30 days from the date on which the ruling sought to be Appealed against is communicated.

At the outset, we would like to make it clear that the provisions of both the Central Goods and Service Tax Act and the Tamil Nadu Goods and Service Tax Act are the same except for certain provisions. Therefore, unless a mention is specifically made to such dissimilar provisions, a reference to the Central Goods and Service Tax Act would also mean a reference to the same provisions under the Tamil Nadu Goods and Service Tax Act.

M/s. Dagger Die Cutting (India) Private Limited, No.201, North Phase, SIDCO Industrial Estate, Ambattur, Chennai-600098 (hereinafter called as Applicant) is registered in GST vide GSTIN 33AACCD1238L1ZV. The Applicant is engaged is manufacture of Hand-made Cutting Knives for Shoe industries.

2. The Applicant is manufacturer of Hand-made Cutting Knives used in Shoe industries and they serve overseas as well as local customers. They have stated that they get orders from overseas customers, but delivery is made locally (within Tamil Nadu) and payment is received in foreign currency.

3.The Authorized Representative of the Applicant was heard in the matter on 12.03.2019 for admission of the application. They stated that they supply cutting tools for leather shoes manufacturing factory in Tamil Nadu, but receive payment from abroad in foreign currency. They stated that they required to know whether to charge IGST or CGST/SGST for their supply.

4.The Advance ruling sought is whether CGST & SGST or IGST is payable on the said supply. i.e., whether the transaction is an inter-state supply or intra-state supply. In this connection Section 97 of the CGST Act / Tamil Nadu GST Act (TNGST) has given the scope of Advance Ruling Authority, i.e., the question on which the Advance Ruling can be sought. For ease of reference, the section is reproduced as under:

97. (1) An Applicant desirous of obtaining an advance ruling under this Chapter may make an application in such form and manner and accompanied by such fee as may be prescribed, stating the question on which the advance ruling is sought.

(2) The question on which the advance ruling is sought under this Act, shall be in respect of,—

(a) classification of any goods or services or both;

(b) applicability of a notification issued under the provisions of this Act;

(c) determination of time and value of supply of goods or services or both;

(d) admissibility of input tax credit of tax paid or deemed to have been paid;

(f) whether applicant is required to be registered;

(g) whether any particular thing done by the applicant with respect to any goods or services or both amounts to or results in a supply of goods or services or both, within the meaning of that term.

The Act limits the Advance Ruling Authority to decide the issues earmarked for it under Section 97(2) and no other issue can be decided by the Advance Ruling Authority. The issue for which Advance Ruling is sought depends on the ‘Place of Supply’ of the goods, which is not in the ambit of this authority. The Application is therefore rejected without going into the merits of the case, on the issue of lack of jurisdiction.

5. In view of the above, we rule as under
