All the taxpayers have got major relief from preparation of GSTR-9 i.e. Annual Return. It will be auto populated in the system and one needs to only bifurcate ITC in to capital goods, input and input services separately for:
> SEZ Suppliers
> Reverse Charge when procured from unregistered person
> Reverse Charge when procured from registered person
> ITC from other suppliers
As such, there was no need to ask such bifurcations for which, there is no provision separately for accounting ITC for capital goods, Inputs & Input Services.
While going through the format of Annual Return and GSTR-9C, each of the taxpayer will have to once again have to classify the data and analyze the same which will be too much herculean task. List of such information which needs to be differently worked out for each registration of the taxpayer, is given below:
- Transactions Prior To 30th June 2017
- Transactions After 1st July 2017 To 31st March 2018
- Transactions After 1st July 2017 But Upto 13th October 2017
- Advances Received for goods After 1st July 2017 But Prior 15th November 2017 and services for full period.
- Transactions Before and After Rate Change, If Any
- Exempted, Nil rated, Non-GST supply including adjustment through debit note & credit note.
- Inward Supplies from Unregistered Dealer from 1st July 2017 to 31st March 2018 and Composition Dealer
- Inwards supplies and outward supplies appearing in books of accounts but reported after 1stApril 2018
- Inwards supplies and outward supplies appearing in books of accounts but not reported till date
Since, exercise of compilation & submission of Annual Return is ease out, we recommend uploading the same simultaneously along with GSTR-9C duly certified by Chartered Accountant / Cost Accountant.
It is important to recapitulate following key points while finalizing GSTR-9C Certificate:
| Sr. No. | Particulars | Author’s Comments |
| 1 | Drop Shipment | In the GST Amendment Act 2018, Drop Shipment is covered in Such Schedule III in section 7. However this is not having retrospective effect and therefore whether it will be considered as exempt supply for the calculation of reversal under rule 42 & 43 for the purpose of finalization of GSTR-9C certification for the year July 2017 to March 2018 and for the period April 2018 to 31st January 2019. |
| 2 | High Sea Sale | In the GST Amendment Act 2018, it is very clear that High Sea Sale will not be treated as Supply. However this is not having retrospective effect and therefore whether it will be considered as exempt supply for the calculation of reversal under rule 42 & 43 for the purpose of finalization of GSTR-9C certification for the year July 2017 to March 2018 and for the period April 2018 to 31st January 2019. |
| 3 | Bus Transport | Non-AC bus transport on fixed route falls is exempted and should be considered for calculation of reversal under rule 42 & 43. However, some of the service provider are charging GST and no ITC is required to be taken. However, if it is provided on chargeable basis, whether subsidized rate or otherwise then tax liability needs to be suitably worked out. |

Calculation of reversal of ITC under Rule 42 & 43, since there is no ITC track for exclusive inward supplies of exempted or non-taxable supplies | Most of the companies have not kept the separate tax for ITC not availed on exclusive inward supplies for exempted or non-taxable supplies and in accordance with Rule 42 & 43, it may have to be given separately. |
| 5 | Schedule III to Section 7 whether will be considered as non taxable supply (even though it is not supply) for the purpose of Rule 42 | In the GST Amendment Act 2018, it is very clear that such supplies will not be treated as Supply for the purpose of reversal of ITC. However, explanation has been inserted vide Notification No. 03/2018 C. Tax dtd 23.01.2018 and any explanation to the provision is having a retrospective effect and hence not to be considered for reversal of ITC under rule 42 & 43.
E.g. Interest is out of purview of GST and can be considered as a No Supply, but such income should not be considered as exempted service for the purpose of ITC reversal under Rule 42 & 43. |
| 6 | Reversal of ITC for by product or scrap – Loss / destroyed / free samples / gift | It may be always disputed about the quantum of reversal of ITC on scrap or by product which has been lost, destroyed, given free. |
| 7 | Reconciliation between GSTR 2A and ITC receivables on account of | Since, GSTR-1A, GSTR-3 and mismatch report is not incorporated, provisions of Section 39 and 41 is as such ineffective and hence, ITC may be allowed even on any reasons of mismatch.
However, suitable note for safeguarding to interest of auditor to be made in the observation sheet. |
| a. Mismatch in Invoice no | ||
| b. Wrong tax head of GST | ||
| c. Wrong GSTN No | ||
| d. Invoices not uploaded by supplier | ||
| e. ITC as per GSTR-2A is more than ITC availed in books (detected after September of subsequent year) | ||
| f. Suppliers paid the GST through their GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 but shown such supplies as B2C | ||
| 8 | 100% amount not paid on account of retention | It can be termed as full payment has not been received and if it is not paid within 180 days ITC reversal will be disputed |
| 9 | ITC on CSR activities done when it is shown as business expenditure | As per Section 16(1) of CGST Act, Every registered person shall, subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed and in the manner specified in section 49, be entitled to take credit of input tax charged on any supply of goods or services or both to him which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of his business and the said amount shall be credited to the electronic credit ledger of such person. |
| 10 | ITC on Motor Vehicle insurance, motor vehicle repairs, building repair, | As per Section 17(5)(a) of CGST Act, ITC shall not be available in respect of the following namely;
(a) motor vehicles and other conveyances except when they are used–– (i) for making the following taxable supplies, namely:— (A) further supply of such vehicles or conveyances ; or (B) transportation of passengers; or (C) imparting training on driving, flying, navigating such vehicles or conveyances; (ii) for transportation of goods; (d) goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of an immovable property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account including when such goods or services or both are used in the course or furtherance of business. Explanation – For the purposes of clauses (c) and (d), the expression “construction” includes re-construction, renovation, additions or alterations or repairs, to the extent of capitalization, to the said immovable property; However, the CGST Amendment Act 2018 amends Section 17(5) of CGST Act for disallowance on the ITC on the subject matter. This provision is implemented w.e.f. 1st Feb 2018. Therefore, ITC may be allowed. |
| 11 | ITC on CSR activities done when it is shown below the line as a part of CSR compliance | Since it is not in the course of business or furtherance of business and it is appropriation of profit, no ITC is allowed. |
| 12 | Value of free goods supplied / Amortization when specific clause is absent in PO | As per circular no. 47/21/2018-GST dated 8th Jun 2018 issued by the CBIC, the value of dies / tools / moulds supplied FOC need not be added in the value of the goods supplied by manufacturer. Considering the clarification in the circular, every person needs to be ensured that absolute clarity while raising the purchase order when such part / components are going to be sourced from the manufacturers and for which dies / tools /moulds are supplied by the recipient of the component. The purchase order should clearly specify that the consideration of parts / components with the separate clause that dies / moulds / tools will be supplied on “FOC basis’ till the time such goods are sourced from the manufacturer. |
| 13 | Rate of interest on ITC reversal / ITC wrongly availed | Interest at the rate of 24% has been specified only on the ITC not reversed on information of mismatch report and mismatches are not removed within the period of 6 months. However, provisions of removing mismatch has not been introduced. Therefore, interest rate to be considered @18%. |
| 14 | Income from Dividend, Mutual Funds, Securities etc. or sale of petroleum products. | These are non- taxable supplies and therefore it should be considered for the purpose of reversal of ITC in terms of Rule 42 and Rule 43 of CGST Rules 2017. |
| 15 | Exports on FOC basis – ITC reversal? | As per Section 17(5)(h) of CGST Act, ITC shall not be available in respect of the following namely; goods lost, stolen, destroyed, written off or disposed of by way of gift or free samplesAs per CGST Rules 42 Manner of determination of input tax credit in respect of inputs or input services and reversal thereof.-(1) The input tax credit in respect of inputs or input services, which attract the provisions of sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) of section 17, being partly used for the purposes of business and partly for other purposes, or partly used for effecting taxable supplies including zero rated supplies and partly for effecting exempt supplies, shall be attributed to the purposes of business or for effecting taxable supplies in the following manner, namely,- 16. (1) “zero rated supply” means any of the following supplies of goods or services or both, namely:–(a) export of goods or services or both; or(b) supply of goods or services or both to a Special Economic Zone developer or a Special Economic Zone unit. (2) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (5) of section 17 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, credit of input tax may be availed for making zero-rated supplies, notwithstanding that such supply may be an exempt supply. |
| 16 | Issues of Tran-1 | Detailed analysis needs to be done and also considering the retrospective amendment in Section 139 and Section 140 of CGST Act 2017, which is been made effective from 01.07.2017 will have to be considered and therefore, if any credit on account of balance of education cess, higher & secondary education cess and Krishi Kalyan Cess is taken then that will have to be reversed.
Further, while doing the amendment, eligible duties do not include service tax and therefore such credit which has been transferred in TRAn-1 will be unnecessarily litigated even though department have issued the clarification that it is not intended.

It will depend on one to one co-relationship, otherwise GST will be payable on transactions value. |
| 22 | Allocation and apportionment value is different for the purpose of valuation of WIP and finished goods in the books of accounts vis-à-vis tax invoice prepared on distinct person | If such apportionment has been accounted in the books of accounts and debited / credited to distinct person, in that case only tax liability will arise, otherwise if it used only for the purpose of costing / MIS then in our opinion, cross charge will not prevail in spite of the facts of decision of advance ruling authority in the case of M/s Cummins India Pvt. Ltd. |

| 33 | Payment / facilities to employee which is not considered as part of Form 16- Treatment of gift and tracking thereof | What will be taxability of facilities/ gifts given to employees which are not covered under Form-16?

|
| 56
|
ITC to be availed in March 2019 for items, which are subsequently covered in 17(5)? For prior to 1st Feb 2019
|
Goods or services are received Tax invoice is in possession It is undoubtedly that, since invoice is raised prior to date 1st Feb 2019 and invoice can be raised only at the time of supply of goods or services, ITC is eligible subject to having tax invoice in possession. Further, ITC can be availed max upto 12 months from the date of invoice but not later than 30th Sept 2018 or date extended i.e. 31st March 2019. Mere late booking of tax invoice will not change basic criteria of eligibility on the date of receiving the services. In our opinion, if invoices are received against the goods & services received prior to 1st Feb 2019, even if booking is done subsequently, ITC will be allowed. However, ITC will be disputed and litigated by the department. |
Further, there was a lot of confusion on reversal of ITC on schemes (like buy one get two) or quantitative schemes and credit note on discount. Fortunately, CBIC have issued the detailed circular clarifying the position which has been simplified in the following table.
| Cases | Outward Supply | Taxable Value | ITC | Remarks |
| Free Samples and Gifts given to other than distinct entity and related person | No Supply | Nil | No ITC to be availed and reversal 42, 43 needs to be made | Being considered as free supply |
| Free Samples and Gifts given to distinct entity and related person | Supply | Valuation in accordance to Rule 28 of CGST Rules 2017 | ITC to be availed on all the inputs, input services and capital goods | Appropriate tax to be paid |
| Buy one get one free offer when goods or services are different or same | One Supply / Mixed Supply / Composite Supply as the case may be | Taxable value to be ascertained in accordance to Section 15 read with Valuation provisions. It means the price will be for composite/ mix quantity. | ITC to be availed on all the inputs, input services and capital goods | Appropriate tax rate to be applied considering composite / mix supply (Highest rate applicable) |
| Discounts (if shown on invoice itself) including ‘Buy more, save more’ offers | Supply | Valuation will be after discounts | ITC to be availed on all the inputs, input services and capital goods | Appropriate tax to be paid |
| Staggered Discount determined established before or at the time of supply | Supply | Valuation will be after discounts | ITC to be availed on all the inputs, input services and capital goods | Appropriate tax to be paid |
| Discount offered by way of Credit note after time of supply | Original Supply | Tax liability can be reduced only after ensuring recipient has reversed the ITC | – | – |
| Secondary Discounts offered subsequently even if not known prior to supply | Original Supplies | Value to be considered without discount and such discount offered subsequently will not reduce the tax liability | – | – |
There are lot of confusion on applicability of tax on canteen and Input Tax Rate Charge by the supplier and ITC thereon. Following table will explicitly simplify the position:
| Period | Applicable Notifications and wordings thereof | From Taxpayer point of view | Bizsol Comments | From canteen food provider (Outward Caterer) point of view | Bizsol Comments |
| July 2017 to 14th November 2017 | Notification 11/2017-CT Rate
|
During this period, Taxpayer has two entries which were applicable.
Having AC facility – 18% (Sr no [iv]) Having Non-AC facility -12% (Sr no [i]) Input tax credit was allowed |
On the basis of this provision we suggested to avail the input tax credit and pay outward tax as applicable to facility. | The service provider used to charge the tax at rate 18% under entry number V of the Sr 7 of the same notification. | Although there was confusion whether the service providers falls under Sr. (i) or Sr no (v), the service providers may have opted for Sr no (V) and charged GST @ 18%. |
| 15th November 2017 to 26th July 2018 | Notification 11/2017-CT Rate as amended by 46/2017-CT
|
Only one entry for taxation is made wherein the tax to be charged @ 5% without ITC made. | In the same notification, explanation was added to mention that it is compulsory for restaurants / canteens to charge the tax rate @ 5% without ITC.
Therefore, from this date tax to be charged @ 5% without ITC on service providers bill. |
Post this amendment, some service providers started charging 5% without they availing ITC and some kept charging 18% under the outdoor catering category as it was not amended. | In our opinion, the services provider can charge tax @ 5% for this period by not availing ITC. However, if in your case they have availed ITC and charged 18% then it will be difficult for the service provider to accept revision. |
| From 27th July 2018 till date | Notification 11/2017-CT Rate as amended by 46/2017-CT & Notification 13/2018
|
Same as above | Same as above | Clear explanation has been added to Sr (i) that the service providers will be part of this category and tax to be charged @ 5% without they availing ITC. | From this day onward, the service provider should compulsorily charge GST @ 5% and in case of excess charged the same can be recovered from them. |
Fortunately, due to non-readiness of the system and parliamentary Election, last date of filing GSTR-9C is extended to 30th June 2019 based on the books of account for the period July 2017 to March 2018 and reconciliation with GSTR-9.
All Chartered Accountants & Cost Accountants and Taxpayers have to take the proper precaution while finalizing GSTR-9C.
