“In an effort to bring uniformity, the provision related to 'Time of Supply' has been deleted with respect to taxability on vouchers, as there were conflicting views among various Advance Ruling Authorities on the matter. This amendment aims to bring clarity and consistency,” as per the release.
Additionally, a key amendment has been proposed to exclude SEZ warehousing transactions from the GST ambit, the release informed.
These involve goods kept in Special Economic Zone (SEZ) warehouses, which may be traded multiple times without any physical movement, the release said, adding the change is aimed at boosting trade activities in SEZs. PTI TKP BNM
