Seeks to make amendments (Second Amendment , 2023) to the CGST Rules, 2017 vide Notification No. 38/2023- Central Tax, Dated: 04th August, 2023

On August 4, 2023, the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs issued a pivotal notification, number 38/2023-Central Tax. This legal bulletin inaugurated the Central Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023, which is a suite of amendments to the existing Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Rules, 2017. The CGST Act, a critical component of India’s GST law, has undergone multiple modifications to streamline and strengthen the country’s tax framework.

Key Amendments to Central Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023

1. Amendment in Rule 9

Under this amendment, the phrase “in the presence of the said person” has been eliminated from Rule 9 of the CGST Rules. This change affects the procedure for verification of the registration of taxable persons under the Act, making the registration process more efficient and less reliant on physical presence.

2. Changes to Rule 10A

Rule 10A now prescribes a new deadline for submitting information related to bank account details. As per the amendment, this information must be furnished “within a period of thirty days from the date of grant of registration, or before furnishing the details of outward supplies of goods or services or both”.

3. Significant Changes in Rule 21A

Rule 21A underwent substantial modifications primarily designed to deal with violations of the Act or the rules. Such contraventions can lead to the potential cancellation or suspension of the registration of the concerned person.

4. Extension in Rule 23

The CGST (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023, extends the period permitted for filing an application for the revocation of the cancellation of registration under Rule 23. This change provides taxpayers with more flexibility and time to rectify any issues leading to cancellation of registration.

5. Introduction of New Rule 25

The Amendment introduces a new Rule 25, which clearly defines the procedures and timelines for the physical verification of business premises in specific scenarios.

6. Modification in Rule 43

The changes in Rule 43 relate to the valuation and processing of transactions. This alteration would impact the manner in which businesses calculate their tax liabilities and process transactions, making the process more streamlined.

7. Simplification in Rule 46

Rule 46 has been simplified. The changes concern the information that is regarded as “the address on record of the recipient”. By simplifying this rule, the tax authorities aim to facilitate more accessible and effective communication between taxpayers and authorities.

8. New Clauses in Rule 59

Rule 59 now contains two new clauses related to restrictions on providing the details of outward supplies under certain situations. This amendment ensures that businesses follow appropriate procedures when declaring outward supplies, thereby preventing misuse of the tax system.

9. Inclusion in Rule 64

A significant inclusion to Rule 64 is the term “non-taxable online recipient” as referred to in the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) Act, 2017. This change expands the scope of Rule 64 to cover more categories of recipients, thereby promoting greater tax compliance.

10. Modification of Rule 67

Rule 67 has been changed to modify the method in which tax collected at source (TCS) details are furnished by the operator. This amendment helps simplify the tax collection process, making it easier for operators to comply with tax laws.

11. Introduction of New Rule 88D

A new rule, 88D, has been introduced to deal with the difference in input tax credit as per the auto-generated statement and that availed in the return. This rule helps streamline the process of availing input tax credit, reducing discrepancies and promoting accurate reporting.

Many other rules have undergone changes and modifications as part of the Central Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023, including Rules 108, 109, 138F, 142B, 162, and 163. Additionally, new forms have been introduced, like FORM GST DRC-01C and FORM GST DRC-01D. Several existing forms, such as FORM GSTR-3A, GSTR-5A, GSTR-8, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C, and GST RFD-01, have also seen notable changes.

These changes signify an ongoing commitment to evolve India’s tax system, making it more accessible, accurate, and transparent. By regularly reviewing and updating the tax laws, the government is ensuring that the country’s tax system keeps pace with the changing economic landscape.

The Central Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023, is an essential step towards streamlining tax compliance, providing clarity on specific tax-related matters, and ensuring a robust, efficient, and fair tax system in India. Businesses, professionals, and tax practitioners should take note of these changes and their impact on their tax compliance and planning.
