(2) Including for Furnishing Details of “ INWARD SUPPLY” in FORM GSTR-2 [under Section. 38(2)] ; Form GSTR1-A and

(3) “THE RETURN” in FORM GSTR-3 [ UNDER SEC.39(1) ]

NOTE:

(1) Please note that form GSTR 3-B is only a Summary Assessment return, implemented for time being until to remove the technical glitches.

(2) Form GSTR-1, GSTR-2 are not a return, on the other hand prescribed for furnishing details of outward supplies and inward supply respectively.

(3) Form GSTR-3 is the only “ Return” wherein we have to report

(a) Inward and outward supplies of goods or services or both,

(b) Input credit availed, tax payable, tax paid and such other particulars as may be prescribed.

(4) The CGST Section 42(2) read with rule 70(1) and 70(2) prescribed that Final acceptance of input tax credit for every tax period shall be communicated to the recipient on the common portal in form GST MIS-1, is so far not discharged by the authority.

Question Stands before YOU :-

1) Central Goods and Service Tax Act, sub section (3) of Section 42 read with CGST sub rule (1) of rule 71, restricted two condition that :

(a) Where the input tax credit claimed by a recipient of inward supply is in excess of tax declared by the supplier for the same supply (or)

(b) The outward supply is not declared by the supplier in his valid returns, such ITC discrepancy in respect of ANY TAX PERIOD shall be communicated to the recipient in form GST MIS-1 and to the Supplier in form GST MIS-2 . Let the GST Council has come forward to clarify whether such duty has been discharged by them for every tax period , whenever ITC discrepancy is faced by registered persons.

2) Without redress the input tax discrepancy described under Section 42(3),43(3) , if such input tax discrepancy fails to rectify by the supplier, the consequences were prescribed under42(5), 43(5) read with Section 39, how we can judge every monthly return process has been finalised.

3) The vital role under the GST Act is claim and avail the input tax credit. As on date, the ITC matching provision is postponed without fixing deadline and under such circumstances, if ITC mismatching discrepancy if any found at later date instead of matching at every tax period , and authority demand the input tax credit discrepancy amount from a recipient at a later stage is a valid one?

4) Without completing the procedure by the authority, including redress for the ITC mismatching discrepancy found in any tax period, instead, fixing a date, for filing Annual Return for 2017-18 is a valid one?

5) The “Final Acceptance of input tax credit claim and communication thereof”, procedure is prescribed under sub-Section (2) of Section 42 read with sub rule (1) and (2) of rule 70. For the assessment year 2017-18 before filing the Annual return in form GSTR-9, such procedures is whether followed on the common portal or not? And whether is available electronically to the person making such claim in FORM GST MIS-1 through the common portal ?

(e) For matching the input tax credit by the recipient with the supplier’s valid return, the basic Forms GSTR-2 and GSTR 1-A, prescribed for verification, validation, modification and to add the Tax elements is also deferred without fixing a deadline.

PRESS RELEASE

6th October, 2017

Recommendations made by the GST Council in the 22nd meeting at New Delhi on 6th October, 2017

GST package for Small Units

The GST Council, in its 22nd meeting held at New Delhi on 6th October 2017, has recommended the following facilitative changes to ease the burden of compliance on small and medium businesses:

Composition Scheme

1. The composition scheme shall be made available to taxpayers having annual aggregate turnover of up to Rs. 1 crore as compared to the current turnover threshold of Rs. 75 lacs. This threshold of turnover for special category States, except Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand, shall be increased to Rs. 75 lacs from Rs. 50 lacs. The turnover threshold for Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand shall be Rs. 1 crore. The facility of availing composition under the increased threshold shall be available to both migrated and new taxpayers up to 31.03.2018. The option once exercised shall become operational from the first day of the month immediately succeeding the month in which the option to avail the composition scheme is exercised. New entrants to this scheme shall have to file the return in FORM GSTR-4 only for that portion of the quarter from when the scheme becomes operational and shall file returns as a normal taxpayer for the preceding tax period. The increase in the turnover threshold will make it possible for greater number of taxpayers to avail the benefit of easier compliance under the composition scheme and is expected to greatly benefit the MSME sector.

2. Persons who are otherwise eligible for composition scheme but are providing any exempt service (such as extending deposits to banks for which interest is being received) were being considered ineligible for the said scheme. It has been decided that such persons who are otherwise eligible for availing the composition scheme and are providing any exempt service, shall be eligible for the composition scheme.

3. A Group of Ministers (GoM) shall be constituted to examine measures to make the composition scheme more attractive.

Relief for Small and Medium Enterprises

4. Presently, anyone making inter-state taxable supplies, except inter-State job worker, is compulsorily required to register, irrespective of turnover. It has now been decided to exempt those service providers whose annual aggregate turnover is less than Rs. 20 lacs (Rs. 10 lacs in special category states except J & K) from obtaining registration even if they are making inter-State taxable supplies of services. This measure is expected to significantly reduce the compliance cost of small service providers.

5. To facilitate the ease of payment and return filing for small and medium businesses with annual aggregate turnover up to Rs. 1.5 crores, it has been decided that such taxpayers shall be required to file quarterly returns in FORM GSTR-1,2 & 3and pay taxes only on a quarterly basis, starting from the third quarter of this financial year i.e. October-December, 2017. The registered buyers from such small taxpayers would be eligible to avail ITC on a monthly basis. The due dates for filing the quarterly returns for such taxpayers shall be announced in due course. Meanwhile, all taxpayers will be required to file FORM GSTR-3B on a monthly basis till December, 2017. All taxpayers are also required to file FORM GSTR-1, 2 & 3 for the months of July, August and September, 2017. Due dates for filing the returns for the month of July, 2017 have already been announced. The due dates for the months of August and September, 2017 will be announced in due course.

6. The reverse charge mechanism under sub-section (4) of section 9 of the CGST Act, 2017 and under sub-section (4) of section 5 of the IGST Act, 2017 shall be suspended till 31.03.2018 and will be reviewed by a committee of experts. This will benefit small businesses and substantially reduce compliance costs.

7. The requirement to pay GST on advances received is also proving to be burdensome for small dealers and manufacturers. In order to mitigate their inconvenience on this account, it has been decided that taxpayers having annual aggregate turnover up to Rs. 1.5 crores shall not be required to pay GST at the time of receipt of advances on account of supply of goods. The GST on such supplies shall be payable only when the supply of goods is made.

8. It has come to light that Goods Transport Agencies (GTAs) are not willing to provide services to unregistered persons. In order to remove the hardship being faced by small unregistered businesses on this account, the services provided by a GTA to an unregistered person shall be exempted from GST.

Other Facilitation Measures

9. After assessing the readiness of the trade, industry and Government departments, it has been decided that registration and operationalization of TDS/TCS provisions shall be postponed till 31.03.2018.

10. The e-way bill system shall be introduced in a staggered manner with effect from 01.01.2018 and shall be rolled out nationwide with effect from 01.04.2018. This is in order to give trade and industry more time to acclimatize itself with the GST regime.

11. The last date for filing the return in FORM GSTR-4 by a taxpayer under composition scheme for the quarter July-September, 2017 shall be extended to 15.11.2017. Also, the last date for filing the return in FORM GSTR-6 by an input service distributor for the months of July, August and September, 2017 shall be extended to 15.11.2017.

12. Invoice Rules are being modified to provide relief to certain classes of registered persons.
