In this update, I have attempted to discuss those term used in the definition of Electronic Commerce. Though, they are technical terms and it’s hard to understand them without having specialized knowledge but since they form part of the definition of e-commerce, a brief introduction of the same is required to have a better understanding of the definition
The term ‘supply’ has been defined to mean the same as defined in section 3 of the CGST Act which provides for meaning and scope of supply.This section provides for the meaning and scope of supply of goods and services. There is no concept of supply of goods and services in the present law. In the proposed law, supply of goods or services shall include the following:
In this update I would be discussing briefly about the definition of Electronic Commerce, Electronic Commerce operator under Draft GST Law and definition of Electronic Commerce under OECD Guidelines.
GST system depends upon online matching of supplier GST liabilities with relevant input GST credit claims by receivers of goods or services. In my opinion, for having a seamless and easy system of matching credits, GSTN should provide for online generation of TAX INVOICES by suppliers, which will altogether eliminate need for data entry of purchases by receivers of the supplies received and hence no need for reconciliation/matching of output GST database with input credit claims database.
This article is in continuation of our earlier article Service tax implications on freight forwarding and logistics industry. The Government’s efforts to release the Model GST Law in June 2016 is an admirable effort towards introduction of the much awaited Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’).

In this article I have shared my views on Registration requirement in GST for persons engaged in making Inter-State supply alongwith Intra State Supply having offices in single or multiple States.
The Model GST Law provides a basic infrastructure for indirect tax regime for E Commerce under ‘Chapter XIB’ titled ‘Electronic Commerce’. In simple words, it implies TCS on online sales of goods or service i.e., Every E-commerce operator engaged in facilitating the supply of any goods and/or services (like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.) shall collect tax at source at the time of credit or at the time of payment whichever is earlier.
In this update, I have taken the simplest of examples for registration requirements under draft GST Law, of a person who is only making local or within State supplies of Goods and/or Services. The conditions regarding person making Inter-State Supplies of goods and/or services is different and as we would go forward we would be taking other categories of persons and other complicated situations as well.
The model GST law has been released on 14th June, 2016. It outlays the basic structure of the CGST act; SGST acts to be based on the structure laid out. The draft of the IGST act has been also released as a part of the Model GST law. The key features of the Model are summarised as under:
