Since the passing of Constitution Amendment Act, 101st; there have been lot of speculations in the market w.r.t. GST Law;how it will pan out,what the modalities are and most importantly how an Aam Aadmi willget impacted.
CBEC has recently issued 5 set of Draft rules on Registration, Invoice, Payment, Refund, and Return. These 5 set of rules has been approved by GST Council on its 2nd meeting held on 30th September 2016. Key Highlights of these rules are as follows:
As per section 2(56) of GST Act, ISD means an office of the supplier of goods and / or services which receives tax invoices issued under section 23 towards receipt of input services and issues tax invoice or such other document as prescribed for the purposes of distributing the credit of CGST (SGST in State Acts) and / or IGST paid on the said services to a supplier of taxable goods and / or services having same PAN as that of the office referred to above;
The definition has squarely covered each and every aspect which helps in establishing the fact of export of service. But the lacuna lies in the sub clause (e) which says the supplier of service and recipient of service are not merely establishments of a distinct person;
India had an internet user base of about354 million as of June 2015 and is expected to cross 500 million in 2016.Despite being the second-largest user base in world, only behind China (650 million, 48% of population), the penetration of e-commerce is low compared to markets like the United States (266 million, 84%), or France (54 M, 81%), but is growing at an unprecedented rate, adding around 6 million new entrants every month. The industry consensus is that growth is at an inflection point.
Every person who is liable to be registered under Schedule III of this Act shall apply for registration in every such State in which he is so liable within 30 days from the date on which he becomes liable to registration but the person other than Input Service Distributor who is registered under the previous law shall not require for the fresher registration shall follow the procedure which has been prescribed.
The details of inward supplies added, corrected or deleted by the recipient in his FORM GSTR-2 under sub-section (1) of section 26 orFORMGSTR-4 under section 27 shall be made available to the supplier electronically in FORM GSTR-1A through the Common Portal and such supplier may either accept or reject the modifications made by the recipient and FORMGSTR-1 furnished by the supplier shall stand amended to the extent of modifications accepted by him.
Once an activity is considered as supply, the next question would be whether such supply is of goods or services to decide on the place and time of supply. Though in most of the cases we could segregate the matters into either goods or services, there are certainly some grey areas where the segregation is not conclusive.
