GST row: J-K FM moves resolution on 101st amendment

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 4-7-2017 – Srinagar, Jul 4 (PTI) The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly today began discussions on a resolution moved by the government for implementing the GST regime without affecting the special status of the state. Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu moved the resolution seeking suggestions from the lawmakers on how to implement the 101st amendment of the Constitution of India pertaining to GST in the state with modifications to ensure that the special status under Article 370 of the Constitution is not affected. This House resolves that the Government of Jammu and Kashmir may give consent to the adoption of GST regime by application of relevant amendments made to the Constitution of India in a modified form to

government will try to allay their apprehensions, he said. Speaking on the issue, NC MLA and former finance minister Mohammad Shafi Uri sought a ruling from speaker Kavinder Gupta on the admissibility of the resolution moved by the government. Citing rules of the Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly, he said a resolution can only be brought on a specific issue but the present resolution covered multiple issues including constitutional matters. There is confusion about which rule was followed while presenting the resolution. This resolution is vague and does not fulfill requirements. There are multiple issues.Some taxes are not applicable to J and K but extending 101st amendment of the constitution will make these applicable to the state,

Instead of an invoice a stock transfer challan was issued along with the goods and no tax was levied.We are concerned that whether these stocks will be taxable under the new GST structure?

GST to boost GDP; significant risks in short term: Fitch

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 4-7-2017 – New Delhi, Jul 4 (PTI) Implementation of GST, albeit complex, will remove domestic trade barriers and help boost GDP growth over long term, but poses significant short-term risks, Fitch Ratings said today. The four slab Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out from July 1. The new regime taxes various goods and services at 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent, while keeping essential commodities out. The GST that came into effect on 1 July is relatively complex, including multiple tax rates for different goods – ranging from 0-28 per cent, or higher where 'sin taxes' are applied – and requires frequent filing in all states in which a company operates, Fitch said. However, it is far simpler

of demonetisation, Fitch said. The unified national system should offer significant opportunities for productivity, it said, adding that it will become much quicker and less costly to move goods across the country now that trucks will not be held up at checkpoints at state borders. Smoother logistics should reduce retailers' need for working capital and allow them to operate centralised warehouses, rather than in every state. Supply chains could extend, encouraging specialisation, now that there is less incentive to source goods within state borders, it said. Tax filing may also become less time-consuming as a result of the new electronic system. Large companies will now have an incentive to pressure smaller suppliers into compliance. T

ore, 5% GST rate on these devices/equipments would enable their domestic manufacturers to claim refund of any accumulated Input Tax Credit. That being so, the 5% concessional GST rate on these devices/equipment would result in reduction of the cost of domestically manufactured goods, as compared to the pre-GST regime. As against that, if these devices/equipments are exempted from GST, then while imports of such devices/equipments would be zero rated, domestically manufactured such devices/equipments will continue to bear the burden of input taxes, increasing their cost and resulting in negative protection for the domestic value addition. In fact, the 5% concessional GST rate on such devices/equipments will result in a win-win situation for
