Whether the vessels or ships that are afloat are not goods and immovable property? – CESTAT says Yes. – Whether GST would be applicable on sale / supply of floating vessels or ships?

Dated:- 23-8-2016 – Commissioner of Central Excise And Service Tax (LTU) , Mumbai Versus The Shipping Corporation of India Ltd. – 2016 (8) TMI 852 – CESTAT MUMBAI The issue though has been discussed in the context of Service Tax but has far reaching implications. One of the reasons given by the Hon'ble tribunal (third member) while ascertaining the nature of transaction for the purpose of service tax is, 29 Not to be overlooked also is the performance of service on goods or equipment with goods having the specific import supra. It may not be entirely correct in describing a ship or vessel as equipment though equipment may be fitted on board rendering the ascertainment thereof by the original authority to be that much more complex.

ceans and the seas are equivalences of land and the inextricability of a vessel or ship from the waters should bring them within the ambit of immoveable. Ships before launch and for breaking up are goods but vessels or ships that are afloat are not goods except for the time that they are the subject of a sale agreement. That ships, vessels and motor vehicles need not exclusively be goods is also apparent in section 2 of Customs Act, 1962; they could also be conveyances. As conveyances, ships/vessels and motor vehicles move easily on water or land but, not being goods that are amenable to severance from land/water, are not distinguishable from immoveable property. Consequently, the legislative intent to tax repairs or maintenance of convey

GIST OF GST

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – esha agrawal – Dated:- 20-8-2016 Last Replied Date:- 22-8-2016 – Hello everyone coming with another article on GST, a very hot topic in discussion now a days , here is a gist of GST with meaning of some important terms which will help readers to understand the definitions properly and help practising chartered accountants to deal their clients efficiently in the matter of GST You all must have heard so many information on the Goods and Services Tax. Some are saying GST will take away the cascading impact of taxes and some are saying GST is one nation, one rate . Firstly GST will not reduce the amount of tax you pay, but it will make it less tiresome to pay and collect. GST is about fewer taxes, at unified rate, as we all know that the taxes are levied both by central and state government in indirect taxes in different level like vat , service tax, excise duty etc, what GST will do is to sweep ( subsume ) many indirect taxes into a single label. As

d from taxes due on final product, but this exists in name only because so many taxes like central sales tax, additional excise and customs duty, luxury tax, to name a few – are not eligible for such set-offs, As a result, both producers and sellers end up paying taxes on the same inputs over and over again. It should be thanks that in case of GST there is no concept of input tax credit all taxes are summed up and GST is you pay just once for. Now here is the meaning of some basic terms in GST like What does the word GOODS means in GST Goods means all kinds of movable properties (which can be moved as such without any dismantling) (only tangible) eg:- visualize, marker, exercise machine, fan etc INCLUDING securities, growing crops & grass, things attached to or forming art of the land e.g. electricity pole etc EXCLUDING money, Actionable claim What does the word SERVICES means in GST ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOODS i.e. Do something or not to do something (like non competence contract, c

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Bimal jain – Dated:- 19-8-2016 Last Replied Date:- 19-8-2016 – Dear Professional Colleague, The long-delayed Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014 on GST ( 122nd CAB or GST Bill ) has finally got the nod of the Rajya Sabha on August 3,2016, with the Government successfully stitching together a political consensus on the GST Bill, to pave the way for much-awaited roll out of the landmark tax reform that will create a common market of 1.25 billion people.GST, is the biggest indirect tax reform since independence, is aimed at dismantling Inter-State barriers to trade in goods and services by subsuming a slew of around 17 indirect taxes viz. Excise Duty, Service Tax, VAT, CST, Luxury tax, Entertainment Tax, Entry Tax, Octroi, etc. The Rajya Sabha has unanimously passed the ambitious GST Bill as amended with over 2/3 majority. The motion for the constitutional amendment for the GST Bill has been passed with 197 Ayes. It was crucial for the critical

roposed in the GST Bill to enable implementation of GST. These proposed amendments importantly includes dropping of 1% additional tax on Inter-State Sale of goods and a definite provision in the statute for 100% compensating the States for any revenue loss for 5 years, amongst others. With these official amendments, the Government partially met the demands of the Congress party which has been blocking the bill in the Rajya Sabha and this enabled the 122nd CAB to finally see the light of the day. We are summarising herewith key amendments to the GST Bill, which was circulated to Rajya Sabha members on August 2, 2016, for easy digest: Dropping 1% Additional taxon Inter-State supply of goods: It is proposed to delete the provision under Clause 18 of the GST Bill. Clause 18 of the GST Bill:The 122nd CAB proposes for levy of an Additional tax, not exceeding 1%, on Inter-State supply of goods in the course of Inter-State trade or commerce.

This implies that Parliament may decide to provide compensation to States and may also decide the time period for which it can provide such compensation, which may extend to five years. Proposed amendment:The Parliament shall, by law, provide for compensation to States for any loss of revenues arising on account of GST, for a period which may extend to five years, based on the recommendations of the GST Council. This implies that the Parliament must provide compensation and compensation shall be provided for a maximum time period of five years. Recommendation of the Select Committee, 2015:The Committee felt that there is no justification for substitution of the word may with shall . It, however, recommended that compensation should be provided for whole period of 5 years and accordingly proposed amended Clause 19 as follows: 19.

tee of Rajya Sabha which had submitted its Report on 122nd CAB on July 22, 2015. The GST Bill was introduced in Rajya Sabha in May last year where it has been pending because of consensus to be emerged between ruling and opposition party over certain provisions viz. Dropping of 1% additional tax on Inter-State sale of goods, Capping of GST rate in 122nd CAB, Forming of dispute resolution authority.

es. Passage of the 122nd CAB in the Parliament is being seen as a big victory for the Narendra Modi government. The next big challenge for the government is to get the States on board and get rest of the process going as quickly as possible to meet the deadline of implementation of GST by April 2017. These steps would require a lot of time, patience and constant deliberations both at the States and Central Government level along with substantial engagement with the industry bodies, traders, service providers and almost every local trade bodies and associations. The GST roll-out deadline of April 1, 2017, is certainly stiff. But it's still better to have a deadline Shri.

GST – Job Work under GST

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – CA Akash Phophalia – Dated:- 13-8-2016 Last Replied Date:- 11-5-2017 – Editorial Note Model GST law has provided special procedure for removal of goods from principal manufacturer to job worker and return from job worker to principal manufacturer subject to certain conditions and limitations. This article aims at enlightening readers about the provisions related to job work. Introduction The definition of supply is very wide and had covered almost all sorts of transactions within its ambit. Material sent for job work is also covered under supply. Hence, GST would be payable on material sent for job work. However, law has kept this special transaction into consideration while drafting and thus it provides for special procedure for removal and receipt of goods sent on job work. Meaning of Job work Job work means undertaking any treatment or process by a person on goods belonging to another registered taxable person and the expression job worker shall

ker to another job worker without payment of duty. Time limit for receipt of goods back from job worker Section 43A which provides for special procedure for removal of goods on job work does not specify any time limit for receipt of goods back However, another provision contained in clause 16A specifies time limit for receipt of goods. Accordingly, inputs should be received back within the period of 180 days of receipt of goods by job worker. Further, this time limit in respect of capital goods is 2 years. Treatment to goods received back from job worker After completion of job-work, Principal may either (a) bring back such goods to any of his place of business, without payment of tax, for supply therefrom on payment of tax within India, or with or without payment of tax for export, as the case may be, or (b) supply such goods from the place of business of a job-worker on payment of tax within India, or with or without payment of tax for export, as the case may be.

GST TO ELIMINATE MULTIPLE TAXES

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal – Dated:- 13-8-2016 Last Replied Date:- 18-8-2016 – After 25 years India started walking on the road to economic reforms and as India marches towards introduction of GST in 2016-17 in 70th year of its independence, we may liberalize ourselves from the clutches of multiplicity of taxes levied by both, centre as well as states. However, the GST which is proposed in the current form is a combination of three types of taxes- Central GST, State GST and Integrated GST. There cannot be a better way to celebrate India's independence. The dream to have GST in India may soon be a reality now. The month of August once again became historic after August of 1947 when India attained independence from British raj. August 2016 created a historic achievement once again as India march ahead on the road to fiscal freedom on tax front as 122nd Constitutional Amendment has been approved by both the houses of Indian Parliament i.e, on 3rd August 2

56) Service Tax (1994) and a host of state levied taxes including Value Added Tax (VAT). GST aims at subsuming many multiple taxes presently levied by Central and State Governments with the objective to follow one nation – one market – one tax policy and scrap the cascading effect of taxes on cost i.e. payment of tax on taxes. GST would therefore, bring in economies of scale, operational efficiency, lower cost of production and benefits accruing to consumers. GST is expected to change the way businesses are done, provide host of opportunities to professionals, reduce corruption and consumer will eventually benefit. Constitutional Amendment The Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014 as amended has now been passed by both the houses of Parliament in August, 2016 – on 3rd August by Rajya Sabha and on 8th August by Lok Sabha ( and that too unanimously in both houses). The major amendments made in the original Constitutional Amendment Bill while passage thereof include the following : Th

tainment Tax (other than the tax levied by the local bodies), Central Sales Tax (levied by the Centre and collected by the States), Octroi and Entry tax, Purchase Tax, Luxury tax, and Taxes on lottery, betting and gambling. However, it will have to be ensured by the GST Council that states should not levy new taxes in future (unless there is a emergency) to complicate the taxes again over a period. We should not have a sequel of GST like GST-2 after a decade or so. This is important as centre has agreed to compensate the states for any revenue loss arising out of GST. Also, there is a need to discourage local bodies to levy taxes. Their fund requirements may be met by States. Benefits of GST The benefits of GST accruing to various stake holders can be summarized as under: For business and industry Easy compliance: A robust and comprehensive IT system would be the foundation of the GST regime in India. Therefore, all tax payer services such as registrations, returns, payments, etc. woul

f locally manufactured goods and services. This will increase the competitiveness of Indian goods and services in the international market and give boost to Indian exports. The uniformity in tax rates and procedures across the country will also go a long way in reducing the compliance cost. For Central and State Governments Simple and easy to administer: Multiple indirect taxes at the Central and State levels are being replaced by GST. Backed with a robust end-to-end IT system, GST would be simpler and easier to administer than all other indirect taxes of the Centre and State levied so far. Better controls on leakage: GST will result in better tax compliance due to a robust IT infrastructure. Due to the seamless transfer of input tax credit from one stage to another in the chain of value addition, there is an in-built mechanism in the design of GST that would incentivize tax compliance by traders. Higher revenue efficiency: GST is expected to decrease the cost of collection of tax reve

levy and collect Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), and States would levy and collect the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) on all transactions within a State. Input Tax Credit The input tax credit of CGST would be available for discharging the CGST liability on the output at each stage. Similarly, the credit of SGST paid on inputs would be allowed for paying the SGST on output. No cross utilization of credit between CGST and SGST would be permitted. However, IGST can be set off against IGST, CGST and SGST.

GST – A Boon to agriculturist

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – CA Akash Phophalia – Dated:- 11-8-2016 Last Replied Date:- 12-8-2016 – Editorial Note The concept of indirect taxation is in the process of revolutionary change. Concept of manufacturing, sale and provision of service are going to be merged in the new concept of supply. This article aims at enlightening readers about the current provision of Model GST law in relation to agriculturist. Introduction India is the land of villages. The saying is clear about the core activities of majority residents of our country. Agriculture is the key activity and needs to be kept out of the purview of taxation law. Currently, it is out of the purview of excise and core agriculturally and related activities are kept out of service tax law also. Further, VAT law has also kept agricultural products out of taxation regime. This intent of law is seemed to be carried as legacy under the upcoming new GST regime also. Meaning of Agriculture Clause 2(7) of Model GST Act prov

nderstood in the common parlance. Although agricultural operations are normally carried on the land which is called as an agricultural land in common parlance. But it is not statutorily required that the land has to be an agricultural land. Further, it is noticeable point that agricultural operations could be carried out at any place and not essentially on ground land. Benefit to agriculturist Tax under GST law is payable by the taxable person and it is the taxable person who needs to comply with all the formalities under GST law. Taxable person is defined under clause 9 of the Model GST law. The said clause provides that an agriculturist shall not be considered as a taxable person. It implies that once a person is an agriculturist then it is not required to comply with any of the compliances under this law being not a taxable person.

THE MOST POPULAR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BILL PASSED IN RAJYASABHA

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Monarch Bhatt – Dated:- 10-8-2016 – Yes, I call it as the most popular constitutional amendment bill in the history of India since Independence and I think so it s popularity will not be beat by any future constitutional amendment bill unless constitutional amendment bill for reservation will get announced!!! Why is this so popular even amongst the general public? Because it has been in discussion since long? or because since it is delayed? or because of the drama taking place at lower house and upper house while passing the bill? or because it is about the introduction of major indirect tax reforms in India? Likewise we all have so many questions about it. But in my view it is in discussion as this will brought major indirect tax reforms in India which will have an indirect impact on each individual. The bill was passed in the lower house i.e. Lokshabha on 06/05/2015 and after more than a year it has been passed by the upper house i.e. Rajyasabha

andatory by its replacement with the use of words parliament shall, by law, . Hence, Centre has given the assurance to states to compensate for the loss of revenue. 1% ADDITIONAL TAX SCRAPPED: The 1% additional levy has been scrapped. The clause 18 of the bill was providing for additional 1% tax on supply of goods and services and it was supposed to be used by the Centre to pay it to the states from where supply of goods and services were originated. The clause 18 has been completely omitted as Centre has already agreed to compensate the states for the loss incurred by them due to introduction of GST. Previously this clause was specifically kept for the states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu which were mainly manufacturing states where it is not necessary that consumption will also takes place within the states and introduction of destination based GST may lead to loss of revenue to such states.

to say for the GST rates to be announced. Further, I have not seen any bill wherein, rates has been specified in the constitution itself as if in future to meet the requirements of expenses it is to be increased, again one need to amend the constitution. Therefore, rates will be provided in the CGST, SGST and IGST bills itself. ASSESSEE BELOW 1.5 CRORE OF TURNOVER TO BE ADJUDICATED ONLY BY STATES: It was recommended to include that small assesse having turnover below 1.5 crore, to be adjudicated only by the states. However, it has not been included as it is constitutional amendment bill. The same will be taken care by the GST council and recommended accordingly in the CGST, SGST and IGST bills itself. It is yet to be seen that what GST councils recommends for each of the aspects and how such recommendations will be actually implemented while passing CGST, SGST and IGST bills? Further, it is also to be seen that whether it will be presented as money bill or as finance bill? – Articles –
