The GST Council at its meeting on May 18, 19 has evolved a consensus on GST rates for goods and services, leading us closer to July 1 implementation. The underlying objective of rate declaration was clear for some time, which is to maintain the current effective indirect tax burden to control inflation and avoid surprises. The government has kept a large number of items under 18% tax slab.
As per Section 12(6) of CGST Act, 2017 relating to Time of Supply of Goods states that time of supply to the extent it relates to an addition in the value of supply by way of interest, late fee or penalty for delayed payment of any consideration shall be the date on which the supplier receives such addition in value.
Since the assessee has the option to take single registration for business verticals within a State, it will be imperative for the assessee to resort to centralised billing mechanism. For ensuring that there is no duplicacy in issuance of invoices by more than one units in the same State, policy of generation of alphanumeric bills can be the option.
At present, the manufacturers/dealers registered under the Central Excise Act, 1944 have the option to surrender their registration if they intend to close their operations but there is no liability or legal compliance to be discharged on cancellation of the registration. However, the situation is not same in the proposed GST regime as the assessee is required to discharge tax and is also required to file final return under section 40 of the Revised GST Law.
Generally place of supply will be the place of recipient of service, if it is not available then place of supplier of service except of specified services as given in subsequent sub-sections. This is similar to the default rule applicable to domestic transactions
Continuing with the discussion, today we shall discuss the changes made in the section 10. It is newly added clause in the draft GST law for determining place of supply of services where location of service provider or the location of service receiver is outside India.
1. The concept of admissibility of input tax credit is elaborated and mentioned in the provision itself (intended to be used or used in the furtherance of business) 2. Capital goods will be entitled for 100% credit immediately except for pipelines and telecommunication tower fixed to earth by foundation or structural support which is as follows :-
The revised IGST Law has provided separate provisions for determination of place of supply in case of intra state trade/inter-state trade and that in case of import/export of goods. The provisions regarding determination of place of supply of goods other than supply of goods imported into or exported from India are the same as proposed in the erstwhile IGST Law and are not repeated.
As evident from revised draft, the definitions of the input goods, capital goods and input services have undergone a major change or let’s say, it has been simplified to the maximum extent possible. In the current laws, there are definitions containing specifications and restrictions to items and services on which cenvat can be taken or […]
The centre of the litigation was the valuation of such service. Both the laws provided independent valuation measures and that is why the situation of double taxation occurred. VAT and service tax was being paid on the same value. Various judicial pronouncements having immense significance were rendered from time to time like the decision given in the case of Bhayana Builders [2013 (32) S.T.R. 49 (Tri.-LB)] where it was concluded that free supply of material will not be added to the taxable value of service for calculating the service tax.
