Transition of Closing Balance of ITC under the present tax regime to GST tax regime.

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Anuj Bansal – Dated:- 5-10-2016 Last Replied Date:- 5-10-2016 – This article is in continuity of the article earlier written by the Author and is published in Tax Management India as regards transition of registration of the dealers under the existing system to GST system. In short, it was explained in the earlier article that the registration of existing dealers will automatically be converted to registrations under GST law and certain basic details of the dealers will also be inserted in the new registration system except that details which may further be required. Another important aspect in the transition from the existing system to GST regime is the carryover of closing balance of ITC from present tax regime to GST regime. It is quite important to understand the process of carryover of closing balance of ITC to GST regime so that full benefit of ITC is available to a dealer. ITC is available to a dealer under different categories and broadly t

d over in the system for the purpose of CGST or SGST as the case may be. In other words, the amount of ITC to be carried over shown in the return for Service Tax / Excise Duty or for VAT as the case may be shown by a dealer will be automatically taken by the system. It may be stated once the ITC is carried over in the return of the present law and considered in the first return under GST law, there is no mechanism to correct / revise ITC carried forward from the earlier period. Therefore, the dealer is required to take an extra precaution in filing the last return for the present tax regime and first return for the GST regime. In other words, in case any amount of ITC is left out in the return for the period ending March, 2017, the dealer can only claim cash refund from the department and which would be difficult. As per the existing provisions of Service Tax / Excise Duty return for the month of March 2017 will be required to be filed by 25th of April / 10th of April. Similarly, retur

ed that the dealer has to be cautious in filing the returns under existing laws for the month of March 2017 claiming the correct amount of ITC carried over and such returns should be in any case filed before 20th May 2017 on which date the returns under GST Law will become due. Transition of closing balance ITC on the appointed date in relation to capital goods: This situation is relevant in the cases where the assesse has partly claimed ITC on the Capital Goods in the present tax regime and the balance is pending for claim during GST Regime. In such situation, the assessee will determine the total balance ITC on capital goods on the appointed date and he will be allowed to consider the ITC in his first return under GST regime. Here the department has allowed the assessee to manually insert the value of the balance ITC relating to capital goods. It is suggested that the dealer should maintain proper accounts / records of capital goods purchased and ITC available during April 2017. Same

nt of duty/ tax under the earlier law. Therefore, it is suggested in such situations to start preparing / documenting such kind of invoices which would be relevant for claiming ITC on the closing stock. Dealers who are registered under the composition scheme under earlier law but under GST regime paying tax as general / normal dealer, the ITC in regard to the stock held by such dealers on the appointed date will be available in GST regime. However, the dealer should be in possession of invoices or any other prescribed documents evidencing the payment of duty / tax.Moreover, the dealer would be eligible for ITC on receipt of such goods under earlier law but for being a composite dealer has not claimed ITC in earlier law. Such kind of ITC shall also be admissible under the GST regime. Therefore, it is suggested that if any such kind of situation is envisaged, proper records of invoices / documents evidencing payment of duty / tax shall be maintained.

This will save litigation cost as part of the cases in litigation is around classification issues. No Cascading effect: In Current Regime of tax a builder is not eligible to take credit of CST on purchases made from interstate where as in GST the same is allowed as credit and there is no cascading effect to the extent of CST. However, Petrol & Diesel which is also key raw material of the Real estate has been kept out of the GST Regime, hence to the extent of the same cascading effect is going to be retain and the same will be added as cost.

Registration: Generally it is seen that Construction Company may have various sites in the country, in present regime he may take centralized registration and was adding the sites in registration certificate whereas in GST Regime construction company does not have any option and has to take registration in state wise which may increase the compliance cost. Reverse Charge on Goods: In Current Regime Of tax structure there was reverse charge on specified services but in case of GST even the reverse charge will be applicable on goods. Post supply Discount: If the Discount has to be given post supply than it must be known to both the parties at the time of supply or pre-supply and the proof of being known is the clause of discount must be there either in contract or agreement or offer etc. Credit Criteria in Returns: In Current if the tax has been made the purchaser to supplier then he

e Hon'ble Minister from Punjab stated that ITC reversals accounted for an additional revenue of ₹ 4,000 crore in his State. The Secretary to the Council observed that it was not desirable to subsume the amount related to ITC reversal for calculation of compensation as it was a distortion in the taxation system and only five States had such a provision in place. The Chairperson observed that if compensation was to be paid for ITC reversal, the Centre's rate of tax would go up and this would imply that taxpayers of all States would be paying extra to compensate five States. He further observed that as the issue regarding compensation for ITC reversal was not discussed in the first meeting of the Council, it would be inappropriate to insert it at the stage of confirmation of its Minutes. However, it was agreed that this issue could be further examined by a committee of officers. 6. The Hon'ble Minister from Uttar Pradesh stated that more clarity was needed as to what

g, there was no agreement to count CST at the rate of 4% for computing compensation. It was agreed that this need not be incorporated in the Minutes of the 1 st Meeting of the Council. 8. The Hon'ble Minister from Jammu and Kashmir stated that in paragraph 37 (ii) of the Minutes, the revenue to be compensated should cover exemptions and duties. The Secretary to the Council stated that these could not be included for compensation as the population of the whole of India should not be expected to bear the burden for exemptions given by different states. The Hon'ble Minister from Assam stated that the formula for compensation under V AT did not include exemptions as part of revenue and the same methodology should be adopted for GST. The Hon'ble Minister from Bihar also opposed the idea of putting exemptions in the compensation formula. The Chairperson reiterated that additional issues being discussed today could not be made part of the Minutes of an earlier meeting. Such is

of the committee should cover the entire gamut of activities and functions to be performed from registration, scrutiny, etc. to enforcement. This committee should discuss how information-based enforcement powers should be exercised so that there was no parallel exercise of powers resulting in confusion and possible harassment. 11. The Hon'ble Minister from Tamil Nadu stated that there was no agreement as recorded in paragraph 47 (iii) ( All existing registered service providers irrespective of the value of turnover, for the present, shall continue to be administered by the Central tax administration ). He also expressed his strong reservation in respect of the cap of three years mentioned in paragraph 47. The Hon'ble Minister from Kerala also supported the view of the Hon'ble Minister from Tamil Nadu and stated that the Centre and the States should have concurrent power to administer Service Tax payers having turnover above ₹ 1.5 Crores. He also observed that Stat

s and the Centre. Audit was proposed to be limited to 5% of the taxpayers on the basis of risk parameters. The issue decided was that the Centre would take up such audit for suppliers of services. He suggested that this issue should not be reopened. 13. The Chairperson recalled the discussions that took place in the 1st Meeting of the Council. He stated that the compromise arrived at was that in respect of goods, taxpayers with a turnover below ₹ 1.5 crore would continue to be administered by the States, as was the practice currently and for those with turnover above ₹ 1.5 crore, there would be concurrent jurisdiction of the Centre and States. In respect of Service Tax, he had stated that 11 lakh current assessees of Service Tax would continue to be administered by the Centre and this clearly implied that no division was proposed on the basis of ₹ 1.5 crore turnover. He also recalled that it was agreed that new Service Tax registrants would be allocated between the

st Meeting of the Council was in a spirit of cooperation. However, this cooperation was limited to the Centre administering the Service Tax assesses whose turnover was below ₹ 1.5 crore and in his understanding, the agreement was that Service Tax assessees with turnover above ₹ 1.5 crore would be administered jointly by the Centre and the States. The Hon'ble Minister from Chhattisgarh stated that in the Empowered Committee, the decision regarding no dual control on small taxpayers was only to protect small traders in goods and it was not meant for services and therefore, it would not be fair to raise the issue of Services at this stage. The Hon'ble Minister from Meghalaya stated that the States should administer taxpayers with turnover below ₹ 1.5 crore and those above ₹ 1.5 crore should be shared between the Centre and the States. He also stated that there was hardly any presence of Central Government officials in .his State. He suggested a time-frame t

ent, it should be allowed to handle Service Tax assessees exclusively for the first five years. The Hon'ble Chief Minister of Puducherry also recalled that for Services, it was decided that all 11 lakh existing Service Tax assessees would be administered by the Central Government. The Secretary to the Council brought to the notice of the House that big service providers in sectors such as telecom, banking, information technology, etc. had been representing that they should have a single registration and if that was not possible, they could at least be given the second best comfort of being audited by only the Central administration for initial years. He pointed out that contribution of Services to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country was 56% and the administrative structure should be such that it does not affect the growth of the Services sector and thus, of the GDP. 16.

9;ble Ministers from Punjab and Gujarat suggested to vertically divide the taxpayers between the Centre and States irrespective of any turnover threshold. The Hon'ble Minister from Assam stated that such an arrangement would create difficulty for small traders. The Hon'ble Ministers from Bihar and Kerala stated that in order to consider this new suggestion, it should be circulated as a separate agenda point. 18. Due to persistent differences, the Council decided to defer the approval of the minutes of the meeting in respect to agenda item 5 of the 1st meeting of the Council. It was suggested and agreed that a committee of officers would examine the issue further and the matter could then be taken up in the next Council meeting. 19.

view that as the compensation was for 5 years, the average growth rate of 5 years or the best 3 out of 5 years should be taken to ascertain the growth rate'. c. The last line of paragraph 22 to be replaced by 'The Hon'ble Minister from Odisha suggested that the best 3 out of 5 years be taken to ascertain growth rate and compensation payment be made monthly and adjusted at the end of the year on the basis of CAG-audited figures and also that the base year could be 2015-16'.

er of Arunachal Pradesh expressed some concern in regard to the draft rules on registration. He mentioned that registration under GST was proposed to be PAN-based which would be difficult to comply with in his State as no Income Tax was payable in his State (as also in Nagaland). He further mentioned that in GST, in B2C (Business to Consumer) transactions, taxes would flow to the consuming states. However, as his State did not have big distributors or high-end retailers, people from his State bought goods from Assam, West Bengal, etc. and a mechanism was required to be devised to ensure that taxes paid for such purchases flowed to Arunachal, Pradesh. The Chairperson observed that this issue could be taken up for clarification in the next meeting of the Council. 23. The Members expressed their approval of the draft Rules relating to Registration, Payment, Return, Refund and Invoice, Debit/Credit Notes. The Secretary to the Council suggested that the Draft Rules may be approved with a

ermit flow of tax to the destination state. Therefore, a decision would need to be arrived at regarding the treatment of such tax incentive schemes under the GST regime. He observed that one option could be to 'grandfather' such schemes and provide for a budgetary apportionment in the State and the Central budgets for reimbursing the tax paid to those units which enjoyed tax exemption up to a specified period. However, while' grandfathering' any such scheme, it would need to be kept in mind that unlike VAT and the CST which were origin-based taxes, GST was a destination-based tax and an unconditional reimbursement scheme could lead to double outflow for the origin-state – one by way of transfer of tax to the destination State and the other by way of reimbursement to the supplier. Therefore, the States would need to be careful while devising any reimbursement scheme and care could be taken that such reimbursement was limited for supplies made within the State. 26. The

The Chairperson stated that no compensation was to be paid by the Centre to any State for reimbursements relating to tax incentive schemes and that States would need to make their own budgetary provisions for the same. 28. The Hon'ble Minister from Uttarakhand stated that the Government of India had given an area-based exemption for 10 years and that such exemptions were to continue up to 2020. She observed that the Centre must reimburse such units for the Central taxes as jobs of more than one lakh workers were at stake. The Hon'ble Minister from Jammu and Kashmir stated that his State was in a similar situation as Uttarakhand. The Chairperson observed that once incentive schemes were withdrawn, the taxes paid would be accounted for in the Consolidated Fund of India and 42% of the amount would be devolved to the States. The Centre, therefore, could be expected to only reimburse the units out ofthe remaining 58% of the fund which was not part of the devoluti

Will anything and everything, done anywhere, for anybody, for business/no business, for money/without money will constitute supply under GST??

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Ranjan Mehta – Dated:- 27-9-2016 Last Replied Date:- 30-9-2016 – In my previous article I tried to throw light on the concept of supply u/s 3 of Model GST Law . We discussed section 3 there and left the Schedule I & II, which contain further provisions in relation to Supply. We will discuss Schedule I here in this article. Although Schedule I contains only 5 clauses but it has created a havoc in the minds of Tax practitioners, who have gone through it. These provisions are Draconian and against the interest of General Public and will cause a lot of confusion in the mind of people as well as tax practitioners. These provisions are such that they can entitle any transaction to be covered under ambit of GST. We explain here how. What happens in case where there is no consideration received or receivable against the Supply made? Sec 3(1)(c) of Model GST law says that the Supply specified in schedule I shall be included in supply irrespective of fac

Supply of goods and / or services by a taxable person to another taxable or nontaxable person in the course or furtherance of business. Provided that the supply of goods by a registered taxable person to a job-worker in terms of section 43A shall not be treated as supply of goods. Permanent transfer/disposal of business assets : Earlier also there were provisions in VAT Laws for such transfers and the dealers were liable to pay VAT on sale of such assets but earlier it was taxable only on the basis of transaction value. As per this clause even if there is no consideration is received but assets are permanently transferred out of business then they will be covered under GST and the value shall be taken as per Valuation rules. This will give revenue authorities opportunity to question every sale of asset. Temporary application of business assets to a private

Assets retained after deregistration: At the event of deregistration total value of assets retained shall be deemed to be supply so that the Govt. can take back the credit allowed. Supply of goods and / or services by a taxable person to another taxable or nontaxable person in the course or furtherance of business: This is the most vicious provision in this schedule. Every transaction which is not covered anywhere will be covered. It has following ingredients. No Consideration Supply by a taxable person To any other person (be it taxable or non taxable) In the course or furtherance of business. Thus, this means if any supply by a taxable person to any other person and without consideration is a supply under GST. The experts say that Stock transfers w
