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

GST," she said.
Sitharaman said problems related to the implementation of GST were "largely settled" and the Centre was conducting a public interaction week across the country to enhance awareness among traders.
Replying to another question, the union minister said GST would be favourable for investments as the tax structure would be uniform across the country.
"Investors now need not worry about tax rates, say in Andhra Pradesh or Odisha. Also, they can have clear assessment of the costs (on raw materials) as there is a single tax. GST will also help exports as the logistic cost will reduce," the minister noted.
Later, she addressed traders and industry representatives to clarify doubts on GST.

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
By: – CASeetharaman KC
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 8-7-2017

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 immediately. When we look

ipment 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.
A figurative display of the taxes which would to be funded by the EOU is as given below:
