REVERSE CHARGE UNDER ‘IGST’ ACT

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Mr. M. GOVINDARAJAN – Dated:- 3-9-2018 – Reverse Charge Section 2(24) of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ( Act for short) provides that words and expressions used and not defined in this Act but defined in the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act and the Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Act shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in those Acts.

Section 2(98) of CGST Act defines the phrase reverse charge as the liability to pay tax by the recipient of supply of goods or services or both instead of the supplier of such goods or services or both under sub-section (3) or sub-section (4) of section 9, or under sub-section (3) or subsection (4) of section 5 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act.

stitutions. Department was of the view that the respondent has provided Business Auxiliary Service (BAS) as appellants were receiving commission from the financial institutions. Show cause notices were issued for the period October 2003 to September 2008 as well as for October 2008 to July 2009. After due process of law, the original authority confirmed the demand raised under BAS along with interest and imposed penalties. Against this, the respondent filed appeals before Commissioner (Appeals), who allowed the appeals holding that the said activity does not fall under BAS. Hence department is now before the Tribunal. 3. The ld. AR Shri S. Govindarajan supported the grounds filed in the appeal. He submitted that the respondents have tie-up with banks / financial institutions and customers who approach to buy consumer durables are able to avail loan from such banks / financial institutions.

CI bank and has not looked into any other document. Further, the service tax liability is required to be paid on receipt basis whereas the Order-in-Original seeks to confirm the demand based on accruals in the books of accounts of the respondent. Though this was pointed out and brought to the notice of the department, the same was not considered. That in some instances, the accruals were reversed as there was no hope of realizing the amount accrued. The department has not considered the plea of the respondents. He argued that the demand has to be restricted based on service charges received and not accrued. To support his contention, he relied on the decision of the tribunal in La Freightlift P. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Service Tax, Chennai – 009 (1) STR 513 (Tri. Chen.). The ld. counsel also argued to set aside the penalties. He submitted that the issue was interpretational one and that it had travelled upto the Larger Bench. In fact, the Commissioner (Appeals) had set aside the deman

on which the demand has been raised have to be looked into. We are of the view that the respondent has to be given a chance to establish their case by furnishing further evidence if necessary. Another reason for remand is that the adjudication order seeks to confirm the demand on accrual basis whereas during the relevant period, service tax is required to be paid on receipt basis. This aspect also requires verification for quantification of the demand if any. In the event, we find that the issue requires to be remanded to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration and for considering whether the issue laid down in Pagariya Auto Center (supra) applies to the facts of the case are not. 7. The ld. counsel for respondent has argued to set aside the penalties. As narrated above, it can be seen that the issue was contentious and there were conflicting decisions. The Commissioner (Appeals) had set aside the demand. The issue had travelled upto the Larger Bench of the Tribunal. Being a

while the notification of the reduced rate came into effect only from 27th July, 2018. Since it would have taken some time for the market to pass on the benefit of reduced taxes, consumers would have postponed their decision to buy expecting the benefit. The actual impact of reduction of rate of taxes would be observed only from next month onwards as the rate reduction would have got affected only in last few days of the month. Even past trend of indirect tax collection shows that while July collections are 8.2% of the total annual collections, August collections are at a lower level of 7.7% of the total annual collections. This is another reason for lower collections during the month of August as compared to that in July. – News – Press re
