, In view of the nature of supply involving several types of goods and services, it is important to determine whether the said supply is a composite supply or not. It is observed that separate values of supply of good and services are available in the case of supply of food and beverages on board the trains. 'Composite supply' is defined in Section 2 (30) of the CGST Act, 2017 as follows: composite supply means a supply made by a taxable person to a recipient consisting of two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or both, or any combination thereof, which are naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business, one of which is a principal supply; Illustration.- Where goods are packed and transported with insurance, the supply of goods, packing materials, transport and insurance is a composite supply and supply of goods is a principal supply; 15. From the above, it is observed that though a composite supply of various goods n

x mentioned against such services (works contract and restaurants) In respect of composite supplies (other than the two categories mentioned above), the need to determine the supply as a composite one, will arise, so as to determine the appropriate classification. It will be necessary to determine as to whether a particular supply is naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business and what constitutes principal supply in such composite supplies. The concept of composite supply under GST is identical to the concept of naturally bundled services prevailing in the existing service tax regime. This concept has been explained in the Education Guide issued by CBEC in the year 2012 as under: Bundled service means a bundle of provision of various services wherein an element of provision of one service is combined with an element or elements of provision of any other service or services. An example of 'bundled service' would be air transport services provided by airlines wherein an

Tea and coffee during conference • Access to fitness room for the delegates • Availability of conference room • Business centre As is evident, a bouquet of services is being provided, many of them chargeable to different effective rates of tax. None of the individual constituents are able to provide the essential character of the service. However, if the service is described as convention service, it is able to capture the entire essence of the package. Thus, the service may be judged as convention service and chargeable to full rate. However, it will be fully justifiable for the hotel to charge individually for the services as long as there is no attempt to offload the value of one service on to another service that is chargeable at a concessional rate. Whether the services are bundled in the ordinary course of business, would depend upon the normal or frequent practices followed in the area of business to which services relate. Such normal and frequent practices adopte

stay in a hotel is often combined with a service or laundering of 3-4 items of clothing free of cost per day. Such service is an ancillary service to the provision of hotel accommodation and the resultant package would be treated as services naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business. * Other illustrative indicators, not determinative but indicative of bundling of services in the ordinary course of business are: – There is a single price or the customer pays the same amount, no matter how much package they actually receive or use – The elements are normally advertised as a package – The different elements are not available separately – The different elements are integral to one overall supply. If one or more is removed, the nature of the supply would be affected No straight jacket formula can be laid down to determine whether a service is naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business. Each case has to be individually examined in the backdrop of several factors some of

CT of Delhi reported in 2010 (20) STR 437 (Del) to argue that supply of food on board the trains cannot be considered as outdoor catering service. It has been held by the Hon'ble High Court that providing of food, snacks and water to passengers on board trains is different from outdoor catering service. The IRCTC or passengers have no choice of articles or quantity served as the same is supplied as per menu fixed by Railway Board. The passengers have no choice as to time and place of services of food. No refund is allowed if food provided is not accepted. No element of service is involved except heating and serving cooked food. Service element in providing food in this case is incidental and base minimum required for selling food. The impugned contract/transaction is not for providing service nor a composite contract but is one of pure sale of goods. Service component in respect of sale of food in a restaurant is much more than supply of food to a passenger in a compartment of a tr

of goods or whether services component is predominant in the contract. 22. The contention of the applicant that a train is covered under entry (i) of S.No. 7 of Notification No. 11/2017- Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 being a restaurant, eating joint including mess, canteen is not acceptable as a train is a mode of transport and passenger travel in a train to go to various far away places they do not visit trains for the purpose of having food. The fact that food is consumed by them during their travel does not mean that a train should be considered as a restaurant or an eating joint. RULING 23. In the case of supply of food and beverages (cooked/MRP/packed), at defined menu and tariff, by the applicant to IRCTC/passengers on behalf of IRCTC, on board the Rajdhani/Duronto Express trains, the service charges are covered under Service Code (Tariff) 996335 in Group 99633 of heading 9963 of Annexure/Scheme of Classification of Services as catering services in train .

artment stand is that this freight difference is earned on account of promoting an airline, whereas, there is no payout by the airlines to the assessee. On the other hand, the assessee recovers full freight from the exporters and the difference between the purchase and sale price is retained by the assessee. (e) The assessee issues House Airway Bills to their customers based on which the transportation takes place and, therefore, act in the capacity of a transporter/principal, rendering service to exporters (f) Freight Forwarder rendering service as a principal has been recognised by CBEC in Education Guide as well as in their Circular of August 2016.

by the department also vindicate this stand. xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx 11. On the second issue regarding the service tax liability of the respondent under BAS, we find that the impugned order examined the issue in detail It was recorded that the income earned by the respondent to be considered as taxable under any service category, should be shown to be in lieu of provision of a particular service. Mere sale and purchase of cargo space and earning profit in the process is not a taxable activity under Finance Act, 1994. We are in agreement with the findings recorded by the original authority. In this connection, we refer to the decision of the Tribunal in Greenwich Meridian Logistics (1) Pvt. Ltd. CST, Mumbai – 2016 (43) S.T.R. 215 (Tri. – Mumbai) The Tribunal examined similar set of fact and held that the assessee often, even in the absence of shippers, contract for space or slots in vessels in anticipation of demand and as a distinct business activity. It is a transaction between principal

wed that commission amount is necessarily to be obtained out of transaction which is to be provided by the respondent on behalf of the client, that is, the exporters. The facts of the case indicated that the mark-up value collected by the respondent from the exporter is an element of profit in the transaction. The respondent, when acting as agent on behalf of airlines/shipping lines was discharging service tax with effect from 10-9-2004. However, with reference to amount collected from exporters/shippers the original authority clearly recorded that it is not the case that this amount is a commission earned by the respondent while acting on behalf of the exporter and said mark-up value is of freight charges and are not to be considered as commission. Based on these findings, the demand was dropped We do not find any impropriety in the said finding. The grounds of appeal did not bring any contrary evidence to change such findings. Accordingly, we find no merit in the appeal by Revenue. T

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal – Dated:- 27-3-2018 – India witnessed its biggest ever tax reform in July, 2017 when it migrated to Goods and Services Tax (GST) w.e.f. 1st July, 2017, subsuming therein over a dozen central and state indirect taxes. Given the nature of its federal structure, India followed a dual model of GST with simultaneous levy of Central and State GST. India is not the only country to have GST (or modified form of GST which is nothing but a value added tax). This was done with multi-slab GST rates so as to take care of heterogeneous of socio-economic profile. So India adopted a four tier GST rates, viz, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%, besides there being a zero rate, composition rates and compensation cess on specified goods. In certain cases, a fixed levy has been specified (e.g., restaurants, hotels, jewellery etc) and in some cases, payment of GST has been prescribed under reverse charge where recipient has to discharge tax liability. There are mu

exemptions and special arrangements to meet specific policy objectives, but also from differences of approaches in the definition of the jurisdiction of consumption and therefore of taxation. In addition, there are a number of variations in the application of value added taxes, and other consumption taxes, including different interpretation of the same or similar concepts; different approaches to time of supply and its interaction. Over 160 countries in the world are currently levying VAT or GST. After India, UAE and other gulf countries have introduced VAT w.e.f. 1st January, 2018. Other nations working towards VAT / GST system include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Micronesia, Palau, Syria etc. Globally, indirect tax rates vary from zero related to as high as thirty percent. Recently, World Bank made a comment in India Development Report about Indian GST system which is yet to take off properly and is in a nascent stage. Accordingly, Indian Goods and Services Tax (GST) system is among the mos

ore GST rates are Italy, Luxembourg, Pakistan and Ghana. According to the World Bank's biannual India Development Update report, most countries in the world have a single rate of GST on other hand, 49 countries use a single rate, 28 use two rates and only five countries including India use four rates. Not only this, it is not just the tax rates that distinguish India's GST system from the rest of the world. The fiscal threshold for businesses to fall under the full GST impact in India is also the highest among all comparable countries. It is an admitted fact that there is increased administrative tax compliance burden on firms and a locking-up of working capital due to slow tax refund processing. High compliance costs are also arising because the prevalence of multiple tax rates implies a need to classify inputs and outputs based on the applicable tax rate. Along with the need to apply the correct rate, firms are required to match invoices between their outputs and inputs to be

scounted as theory is always far away from practice and economist's perception may not always hold good. If what he says comes true, it is also a reflection on all implementation agencies including the Government itself. GST in ultimate analysis is likely to have positive impact on India's economic growth and businesses, adding to tax GDP ratio, revenue, cost effectiveness, business efficiency and quality of life. But not overnight, over a period. GST is only a beginning and not an end in itself. It is a continuous process and as such only in work- in-progress stage. However, drawing actively from user-feedback, the government has been very alert to implementation challenges and continues to take steps to make GST compliance more simple and efficient. Despite the initial hiccups, the introduction of GST is having a far-reaching impact on reducing tax-related barriers to trade barriers, which is one of the primary goals of the introduction of GST in India. = = = = = = = = = = –
