Centre did not play big brother role in fixing GST rates: Min

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 8-7-2017 – Amaravati, Jul 8 (PTI) Maintaining that the Centre was not playing big brother role, Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman today suggested that any state could forego its share of GST if it wanted to lessen the tax burden. Sitharaman, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, made this remark referring to the agitation by Tamil Nadu film industry over the high rates of tax on cinema tickets. In fact, they (Tamil film industry) have no issue with the GST. It is the additional 30 per cent local bodies tax levied by the state government that they are agitated about, the minister told reporters here today. The Centre didn't play big brother role in fixing rates (under GST). If it (tax rate)

In short, person will have to pay differential tax amount to the Government.

Tax on Purchases by EOU's – Additional Working Capital required to pay GST on Inputs

Tax on Purchases by EOU s – Additional Working Capital required to pay GST on Inputs – Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – CA Seetharaman K C – Dated:- 8-7-2017 Last Replied Date:- 10-7-2017 – The provisions of Section 16 of the IGST Act provides for the zero rated taxation of inputs supplied to SEZ Units whereas EOU s have been left out. The impact of such exclusion would be immense especially on the Cash flow of such units apart from the huge interest burdens on these units thereby creating a situation where their products would not be competitive to meet the challenges of the international markets. Further Section 54 of the CGST Act, which lays down provisions relating to Refunds , specifies that 90 % of amount claimed would be paid imm

-shipment and post shipment credits already being enjoyed by such units from their bankers. A simple example of an EOU doing an export of 180 crores per annum undertaking the activity of receiving and polishing Granite slabs and exporting would bring forth a situation where there is an additional cash outlay by the unit to the tune of nearly 10 crores per quarter. Assuming that the lead time from the date of purchase, processing and export and finally claiming refund would be 90 days, the EOU would have to look for funds for payment of taxes on inputs purchased over the period of 90 days.

increase in the production levels or performance levels. Moreover, the policy that taxes should not be exported maybe accomplished by charging zero rate of tax on exports but the fact that extra taxation payments and interest thereon needs to be made to the tune of 9.56 crores (which is nearly 7 per cent of the total input cost) on inputs actually adds up to the export price of such units thus making them uncompetitive in the World market. It is obvious that this disparity would create a lot of opportunities for countries like China where exporters are being given a lot of benefits to compete in the international markets. It would be a great relief to such EOU s if the Government takes immediate steps to mitigate this anomaly being faced b
