In spite of the optimism shown by Asim Dasgupta, chairman of the empowered committee of state finance ministers, the much-anticipated goods and services tax (GST) is unlikely to be introduced on April 1, 2010. The process of Constitutional amendment to bring the new indirect tax legislation may take another five months. “It will take 5-6 months for the amendment and everything else to fall in place. Besides, wecannot start work on things like IT infrastructure as long as a final GST structure is not there,” a highly-placed government official said.
For the first time the state government has candidly admitted that there is corruption at commercial tax department VAT checkposts. Industries minister Saurabh Dalal in an interaction with Gujarat Sales Tax Bar Association (GSTBA) has appealed to traders to come forward to lodge complaints against errant officers.
The Centre has turned down the proposal of the empowered group of state finance ministers to keep alcohol out of goods and services tax. The government has in fact suggested that both alcohol and tobacco, which are demerit goods and considered harmful for health, should be kept under GST, with the states getting the power to levy excise duty over and above GST on alcohol. The Centre would have the same power in case of tobacco.
The Delhi government’s proposal to hike value added tax (VAT) from 4% to 5% is seen running counter to the Centre’s move to introduce the goods and services tax (GST) in a bid to bring about uniformity in the tax structure. The Sheila Dixit-led government’s announcement came after tax collection for last fiscal came in at Rs 11,175 crore, down from Rs 13,000 crore the previous fiscal.
Typically in real estate transactions, the land holder contributes the land, the developer constructs the building and sells the flats along with the proportionate rights in respect to the land. As a result, each owner becomes the owner of an apartment with corresponding undivided share in the land arid an undivided share in the common areas. The usual feature of such agreements is that the land holder will have no say or control in the development.
Q.1 The amended section 6A of CST Act, 1956 requires the transferor branch to obtain ‘F’ form from the transferee branch and on failure to obtain the same the transaction is presumed to be sale. Whether such amendment can be said to be constitutionally valid, as it may amount to levy of tax on Consignment?
Question. The dealer has purchased plant along with land from Financial Institution in auction. The original owner of plant was declared sick unit and was liable to discharge sales tax dues for past years. The Sales Tax Department is contemplating to recover the said dues from the dealer who has purchased the plant and land in auction. Whether the department is justified in such demand?
The facts are that the dealer is registered under CST Act in Andhra Pradesh as well as in Maharashtra. Order is placed by AP branch on Tamil Nadu dealer for supply of goods against H form. The supplier prepares invoice mentioning Maharashtra address. The goods are delivered by TN party in AP from where dealer exports the goods. The dealer accounts the said invoice of TN party in its books in Maharashtra and shows the same in the Maharashtra Sales Tax returns. The H form issued by Maharashtra authorities is issued to TN party. Whether the above course of action as per law?
The subject of works contract is one of the most confusing and litigated issues. The Constitution (Forty Sixth Amendment) Act, 1982 granted powers to State Governments to enact laws for providing the levy of tax on the transfer of property (whether as goods or in some other form) involved in the execution of works contracts. Builders and Developers undergo untold hardship and misery while computing the gross and taxable turnovers. Each State has prescribed its own law, rules and methodology for determining the gross and taxable turnovers.
Under entry 92A of List I of the VII Schedule to the Constitution of India, the Parliament of India has the exclusive right to impose tax on sale or purchase of goods other than newspapers where such sale or purchase takes place in the course of inter-State trade and commerce. Article 269 of the Constitution of India authorises the Parliament to formulate principles for determining when a sale or purchase or consignment of goods takes place in the course of inter-State trade and commerce. Exercising the power so conferred by the Constitution of India, the Parliament has enacted the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 (herein after referred to as “the Central Act”), wherein section 3 specifies the principles as to when a sale or purchase of goods take place in the course of inter-State trade and commerce.
