Business
Section 2(17) of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ('Act' for short) defines the term 'business' as including the following-
(a) any trade, commerce, manufacture, profession, vocation, adventure, wager or any other similar activity, whether or not is for a pecuniary benefit;
(b) any activity or transaction in connection with or incidental or ancillary to sub-clause (a);

re that manages services in hotels-amenities solutions.
Section 2(18) of the Act defines the expression 'Business vertical' as a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in the supply of individual goods or services or a group of related goods or services which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the other business verticals. The explanation to this section provides that the following factors should be considered in determining whether the goods or services are related include-
* the nature of the goods or services;
* the nature of the production processes;
* the type or class of customers for the goods or services;
* the methods used to distribute the goods or supply of services; and
* the nature of regulatory environment (wherever applicable), including banking, insurance or public utilities.
Registration
Section 25 provides the procedure for registration. Section 25(2) provides that a person seeking registration under this

me person is paying tax under section 9;
* all separately registered business verticals of such person shall pay under the Act on supply of goods or services or both made to another registered business vertical of such person and issue a tax invoice for such supply.
The explanation to this sub-section clarified that where any business vertical of a registered person that has been granted a separate registration becomes ineligible to pay tax under section 10, all other business verticals of the said person shall become ineligible to pay tax under the said section.
Units in SEZ
The proviso to Rule 8(1) provides that a person having unit(s) in a Special Economic Zone or being a Special Economic Zone Developer shall make a separate application as a business vertical distinct from his other units located outside the Special Economic Zone.

Delay in issue of SGST Notifications by the States – Implications

Delay in issue of SGST Notifications by the States – Implications
By: – Ramnarayan Balakrishnan
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 14-9-2017

The purpose of writing this article is to point out that there are no 'mutatis mutandis' CGST rate replication provisions in the SGST laws, and as such, without appropriate notifications under the SGST laws of the respective states, the levy of SGST in these states cannot be considered as legal.
In the above background, it is a bit surprising that certain CGST notifications have not been replicated under SGST by the respective states even within a reasonable period of time. This gives rise to legal as well as system related (gstn.com) issues, which are analyzed below:
1. Imp

* Goa
* Gujarat
* Haryana
* J&K
* Jharkhand
* Karnataka
* Madhya Pradesh
* Maharashtra
* Nagaland
* Odisha
* Rajasthan
* Tamil Nadu
* Tripura
* West Bengal
As mentioned earlier, there are no 'mutatis mutandis' CGST rate replication provisions in the SGST laws, and as such, without appropriate notifications under the SGST laws of the respective states, the levy of SGST in these states cannot be considered as legal.
As such, if we take the state of Telangana (which hasn't yet notified the above rate changes) as the example, the only option to calculate GS

e new rates for services would be applicable. This would lead to the very same situation outlined in para 1.1 above – the CGST and Goa SGST rates for the above 6 days will not align.
2. Implications from the GSTN perspective
Now, it is pertinent to note that the GSTN portal doesn't seem to be accepting any line item in which the CGST and SGST tax rates/ amounts differ, since the information pertaining to each transaction is captured as a single line item (it might have been possible, if, the CGST and SGST were captured as different line items). As such, if we create rules which have 6% CGST and 9% SGST, we may not be able to file the returns in the GSTN portal.
The apt approach would be to adopt the SGST rates only as and when the respec

E-WAY BILLS IN GST

E-WAY BILLS IN GST
By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 14-9-2017

The Central Board of Excise and Customs has issued rules on the Electronic Way bill that requires registered entities to furnish information to the GST-Network (GSTN) website, relating to goods worth more than INR 50,000 they intend to move within a state or outside.
Moving goods worth more than INR 50,000 under GST will require prior online registration of the consignment and securing an 'e-waybill' that tax officials can inspect any time during transit to check tax evasion.
GSTN will generate e-waybills valid for days, depending on the distance to be travelled one day for 100 km. According to norms, upon generation of the e-way bill on the common portal, a unique E-way Bill Number (EBN) shall be made available to the supplier, the recipient and the transporter on the common portal.
The person in-charge of conveyance will be required to carry the invoice or bill of supply or

ed form) on the common (GSTN) portal.
The salient features of e-way bills are as follows:
* Freight worth over INR 50,000 will require obtaining prior registration and generation of e-way bill under the GST regime
* Tax officials would be empowered to inspect e-way bills any time during the journey to check for tax evasion.
* Every registered person who causes movement of goods of consignment value exceeding INR 50,000 in relation to a supply, for reasons other than supply, or due to inward supply from an unregistered person, shall before commencement of movement, furnish information relating to the said goods in Part A of Form GST INS-01, electronically, on the common portal GSTN.
* The e-way bills will be valid for days from the date of generation depending upon the distance the goods have to be transported, where one day would equal 100 km.
* The rules propose to authorise the tax commissioner or an officer empowered by him to intercept any conveyance to verify the e-way

of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods shall carry while the goods are in movement or in transit storage'.
At present, some 40-50 per cent of goods moved by road, at a conservative estimate, are under-reported. Under these circumstances, at least having an EBN system to collect data from consignments above INR 50,000 appears to be fair and equitable to suppliers, transporters and receivers.
In case an enforcement officer decides at random to inspect a truck and check the veracity of the declaration by matching with the EBN at a time when the GSTN portal is not functioning, then the vehicle should not be detained beyond 30 minutes.
There can be genuine concerns with e-way bills and consequent actions on enquiry. In case of mismatch or wrong declaration by transporters, goods may be offloaded at the risk and cost of supplier/common carrier/transporter and concerned vehicle should be allowed to go so that other consignments in the truck belonging to several receivers are not

e recipient to be on a single platform through which tracking of goods will be enabled through Radio Frequency Identification.
The use of e-way bills for inter-State movement of goods is a remarkable initiative as it will enable standardization of processes and bring transparency in the system. This proposal has immense potential to root out the corrupt practices in this sector to a large extent. Moving goods with fake bills would be difficult in GST regime. Companies will have to generate electronic waybills through the GST portal for inter-state movement of goods. While this is an improvement over the earlier system, there are fears that trucks may still be stopped at State borders.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Dated 14th September 2017
Subject: Advisory for issue of tax invoices & GST facts – reg.
1. With the introduction of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) in the State from July 1, 2017, it has become imperative upon all authorities who award contracts or execute agreements for supply of goods or services (including works contract) or both, and make payments for such supply of goods or services or both, to ensure that Government revenue is protected and secured under all circumstances.
2. All concerned may note that GST has subsumed all indirect Central and State taxes in the country. GST is administered broadly under three Acts namely, the Central GST (CGST), the State GST (SGST) and the Integrated GST (IGST). Therefore, for better administration and

ifferent States.
(g) GST is a destination-based tax where taxes collected are eventually accrued (credited) to the State where the goods or services or both are finally consumed.
(h) The tax invoice of the supplier is the document or the basis upon which the GST paid is transferred to the destination State (where the goods or services are finally consumed).
3. Therefore, it is very critical that the type of tax (whether CGST/SGST or IGST) are correctly recorded in the tax invoice while effecting supplies. Unless the type of tax that one pays or deducts is correctly recorded in the tax invoice of the suppliers along with the supplier GSTIN, State Code (State Code of Nagaland is “13”) and address of the recipient (buyer), the tax so paid, in all likelihood, will be retained by the supplier's State and the consuming (recipient) State like Nagaland, in all probability, will lose the revenue.
4. For consuming States like Nagaland, it is of utmost importance for all concerned to ensu

the undertaking prescribed by Commissioner of Taxes, Nagaland vide this office letter No. CT/GST-C/160/2016 dated 11.8.2017 is furnished till further orders.
(iii) The Transport Department may take extra care and ensure that no vehicle purchased (Whether by Government departments or individuals of Nagaland) from outside the State are given registration certificate in the State unless the tax invoice bears the supplier's GSTIN, type of tax as “IGST” with our state code as “13” sand address of the buyer so as to protect and secure the revenue of the state.
6. It is also clarified for general information that for the purpose of effecting tax deducted at source (TDS) under GST, the window for registration for applying GST Identification Number (GSTIN) is scheduled to be opened w.e.f. 18th September 2017. The necessity of DDOs obtaining GSTIN has been elaborated in the earlier circulars issued by this department. All concerned may therefore take steps to obtain Tax Deduction and Coll

experts please give ur views.
Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani:
The Reply:
If you are a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) then you are exempt from registration. And you are free from collecting and paying tax to the exchequer. The consigner or consignee whoever pays the freight shall pay tax under reverse charge.

I support the views of both experts. Keeping in view the quantum of work and inter state transportation of work, it appears to me your work is beyond the conditional exemption as detailed above. So be careful while claimg any kind of exemption under GTA.

Dear Querist (GTA),
I further add that preference-wise liability for payment of GST on freight is as under:-
1. Consignee
2. Consignor

Now the question is: I receive cash ₹ 50,000.00 advance for a product with a GST of 18%.

Goods Transport Agency in GST

Goods Transport Agency in GST
GST Law and Procedure – GST Law and Procedure [January, 2019]
GST
Chapter Thirty Eight
Goods Transport Agency in GST
Background of levying tax on the services of Goods Transport Agency
The levy of Service Tax on Road Transportation Service has always been a contentious issue. The Finance Act, 1997 had levied Service Tax on Goods Transport Operators w.e.f. 1611-1997 which was subsequently withdrawn after nationwide strike. Thereafter by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004 Service Tax was imposed on Transport of Goods by Road service rendered by a goods transport agency with effect from 10-09-2004. However, the levy was deferred until further notice again in view of transporters' strike. The Government thereafter constituted a Committee to deal with the issue and after taking into account the recommendations of the Committee, Notification Nos. 32 to 35/2004 – ST all dated 03-12-2004 were issued, levying tax on Transport of Goods by Road with effect fro

ST.
Who is a GTA – Goods Transport Agency? As per Section 65B (26) of the Finance Act, 1994; “Goods Transport Agency means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called”. Therefore, in the Service Tax regime, issuance of Consignment Note (C/N) was integral and mandatory requirement before any road transporter could be brought within the ambit of GTA.
Position under GST
Under GST laws, the definition of Goods Transport Agency is provided in clause (ze) of notification no.12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017.
(ze) “goods transport agency” means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called;
Thus, it can be seen that issuance of a consignment note is the sine-qua-non for a supplierof service to be considered as a Goods Transport Agency. If such a consignment note is not issued by the transporter, the service provider

signment note means a document, issued by a goods transport agency against the receipt of goods for the purpose of transport of goods by road in a goods carriage, which is serially numbered, and contains the name of the consignor and consignee, registration number of the goods carriage in which the goods are transported, details of the goods transported, details of the place of origin and destination, person liable for paying service tax whether consignor, consignee or the goods transport agency.
Charge of GST on services provided by GTA
In terms of notification no. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 as amended by notification no. 20/2017- Central tax (Rate) dated 22.08.2017, sr.no. 9 and sr. no. 11, (i) Services of goods transport agency (GTA) in relation to transportation of goods (including used household goods for personal use) (Heading 9965 &9967 respectively) attracts GST @2.5% or 6% CGST. Identical rate would be applicable for SGST also, taking the effective rate to 5

he GTA from taking ITC if this option is availed.
Thus, where the GTA is not eligible to take ITC for the supplies effected by it and the liability under GST is discharged under reverse charge basis, the recipient of GTA service discharging the tax liability is entitled to take Input Tax Credit (ITC) of the amount of tax paid under reverse charge, provided it is used in the course or furtherance of business at his end. Further the recipient would be eligible for ITC of the GST paid by GTA on forward charge basis.
Notification no. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), sr.no.11, (ii) also provides that supporting services in transport other than those mentioned in (i) (Heading 9967) would attract GST @9% CGST. Identical rate would be applicable for SGST also, taking the effective rate to 18%. Similar rate has been prescribed for services falling under heading 9965 in terms of notification no. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), sr.no. 9 (v).
Person Liable to Pay GST on GTA services
The liability to pa

under any law; or
(f) any partnership firm whether registered or not under any law including association of persons; or
(g) any casual taxable person.
Thus in cases where services of GTA are availed by the above categories of persons in the taxable territory the GTA supplier has the option to pay tax (and avail ITC) @12% (6% CGST + 6% SGST);and if the GTA does not avail this option, the liability to pay GST will fall on the recipients. In all other cases where the recipients do not fall in the categories mentioned above, the liability will be on the supplier of GTA services.
GTA services specifically exempt
In terms of notification no.12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 (sr.no.21), the following services provided by a GTA (Heading 9965 or 9967) is exempt from payment of tax:
Services provided by a goods transport agency, by way of transport in a goods carriage of –
(a) agricultural produce;
(b) goods, where consideration charged for the transportation of goods on a con

he use of the phrase 'in relation to' has extended the scope of the definition of GTA. It includes not only the actual transportation of goods, but any intermediate/ancillary service provided in relation to such transportation, like loading/unloading, packing/unpacking, trans-shipment, temporary warehousing, etc. If these services are not provided as independent activities but are the means for successful provision of GTA Service, then they are also covered under GTA.
Conclusion
The above discussion shows that not all transport of goods by road is by a GTA. To qualify as services of GTA, the GTA should be necessarily issuing a consignment note. Only services provided by a GTA are taxable under GST. Services of transportation of goods by a person other than GTA are exempt. Moreover, in cases where the service of GTA is availed by the specified categories of persons in the taxable territory, the recipients who avail such services are the ones liable to pay GST and not the supplier of s
