Applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism to SEZ units or developer

Applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism to SEZ units or developer

Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 9-10-2018

Applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism under sec 9(3) and 9(4) of CGST Act 2017 to a SEZ Unit or Developer
Objective of this write up is to share our thought process on whether RCM u/s 9(3) & 9(4) applies to SEZ unit or Developer. Most of the popular forums and websites taken a skewed view based on the following notifications and Section 51 of SEZ Act has an overriding effect on inconsistencies caused by any other laws in force.
* Notification no: 18/2017 IGST rate exempts services imported by a SEZ unit or developer from the whole of IGST payable on that transaction.

Definition of import under SEZ Act 2005:
2(o)- “import” means-
(i) bringing goods or receiving services, in a Special Economic Zone, by a Unit or Developer from a place outside India by land, sea or air or by any other mode, whether physical or otherwise; or
(ii) receiving goods, or services by, Unit or Developer from another Unit or Developer of the same Special Economic Zone or a different Special Economic Zone
Thus, its clear that import here necessarily means either goods or services must come from a place outside India i.e. supplier should be outside India. Supply from DTA ( Lawyer, GTA etc) to SEZ unit or developer is not an import. Under sec 7(5) of IGST Act, Supply to or from SEZ Unit or developer is defined as

aligned with GST until 19th Sep 2018.
Notification No. G.S.R. 909(E) Dated: 19-9-2018 – SEZ, addressed that gap by duly inserting key philosophies of GST through SEZ (Amendment) Rules, 2018. Especially rule 30(1) by inserting Zero-rated supply as defined u/s 16 of IGST Act and rule 30(2) to include the services for the first time.
Thus, both the laws are now aligned, sec 51 of SEZ Act should not be referred to in this context.
To conclude, Reverse Charge Mechanism u/s 9(3) and 9(4) applies to SEZ unit or developer, They should recognise this as a liability and discharge the same by cash payment. Tax Burden suffered can be availed as ITC and should be refund under rule 89(2)(a) & 9(b).

The applicant proposed to revise its packaging scheme of goods and the manner of sale to exclude from the packages the registered trademarks, namely 'More trademarks' and the 'Aditya Birla' logo. The proposed packaging of subject goods under two streams would accordingly bear the following details:

Customers not only identify goods with aforesaid brand name or logo but also with More stores owned by Aitya Birla Group of Companies. Thus, proposed change of removing brand name 'MORE' and logo 'Aditya Birla Retail' and replacing it with name 'Aditya Birla Retails Ltd.' is not going to make any difference so far as establishing connection of goods with manufactures. Goods would continue to be sold in exclusive stores with packages having same style, color and nature of packing. Environment of sale of goods would also be same as website of appellant would continue to bear MORE Stores name and so would be Billing receipt

GST laws
The Central Government introduced a major tax reforms in indirect tax laws. The existing indirect laws except customs levied by the Central Government and State Governments are subsumed into one tax viz., Goods and Services Tax. The Central Government, for this purpose, amended the Constitution providing for subsuming of various indirect taxes and Central and States surcharges and cesses so far as they relate to supply of goods and services both on interstate and Intra State. Section 18 of the Amendment Act enabled the Parliament to levy a cess for five years to compensate the States for the loss of revenue on account of GST. The Central Government enacted the following Acts for the purpose of GST-
* Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017;

panies Act which is a trader of imported and Indian coal. The writ petitioner imports coal from Indonesia, South Africa and also purchases coal from Indian mines. The Finance Act, 2010 with effect from 01.07.2010 levied Clean Energy Cess which was in the nature of a duty of excise on the production of coal and was being collected at the time of removal of raw coal, raw lignite and raw peat from the mine to the factory.
On the introduction of GST laws the law relating to Clean Energy Cess was repealed. The writ petitioner submitted a representation to the GST Council seeking set off of Clean Energy Cess against GST Compensation Cess. The writ petitioner filed a writ petition before the Delhi High Court. The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court passed an interim order on 25.08.2017. In the interim order dated 25.08.2017, the Division Bench observed that there is a prima facie case made out by the writ petitioner regarding lack of legislative competence of Parliament to enact Compensat

* The impugned legislation is colorable legislation which lacks legislative competence.
* Section 18 of the Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016 does not empower the Parliament to levy cess and tax as it provides Parliament to make any law to provide compensation to the States for loss of revenue arising on account of implementation of GST for a period of 5 years.
* On the very same transaction there cannot be two levies, one under Central GST Act and another under impugned legislation as it would amount to double taxation as levied on the same taxable event and same subject.
* The writ petitioner has to pay clean energy cess as well as compensation cess which amounts to double taxation.
* The petitioner may be permitted to set off the cess of ₹ 7.68 crores which was already paid on the stock lying with the petitioner on 30.06.2017.

allowed to be utilized for paying GST Compensation Cess.
Both the parties relied on various judgments to support their views. The Supreme Court on hearing both sides framed the following issues-
Whether the Compensation to States Act, 2017 is beyond the legislative competence of Parliament?
Whether Compensation to States Act, 2017 violates the Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016 and is against the objective of Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016?
Whether the Compensation to States Act, 2017 is a colorable legislation?
Whether levy of Compensation to States Cess and GST on the same taxing event is permissible in law?
Whether on the basis of Clean Energy Cess paid by the petitioner till 30th June, 2017, the petitioner is entitled for set off in payment of Compensation to States Cess?
First issue
In respect of the first issue the Supreme Court analyzed the provisions of Constitution in regard to levy of tax and the introduction of Co

ent to make rules for carrying out the provisions of the Act on the recommendation of the Council. Article 248 read with Articles 246 and 246A clearly indicate that residuary power of legislation is with the Parliament. No contention has been raised before the Supreme Court that the subject matter of legislation was within the competence of State Legislature, and that the Parliament had no competence to legislate. The Supreme Court did not find do not find any lack of legislative competence in the Parliament.
The Supreme Court held that-
* after Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016, as per Article 270, Parliament can levy cess for a specific purpose under a law made by it;
* Article 270, thus, specifically empowers Parliament to levy any cess by law;
* section 18 of the Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016 expressly empowers Parliament shall, “by law” on the recommendation of the Goods and Services Tax Council, provide for compensation to

ation cess is “with respect to” goods and services tax, it is a tax.
The expression used in Article 246A is “power to make laws with respect to goods and services tax”. The power to make law, thus, is not general power related to a general entry rather it specifically relates to goods and services tax. When express power is there to make law regarding goods and services tax, the Supreme Court failed to comprehend that how such power shall not include power to levy cess on goods and services tax. Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016 was passed to subsume various taxes, surcharges and cesses into one tax but the constitutional provision does not indicate that henceforth no surcharge or cess shall be levied.
The Supreme Court held that power of Parliament to make law providing for compensation to the States for loss of revenue was expressly included by constitutional provision. The Preamble of Compensation to States Act, 2017 expressly mentions the Act to provide for

the objective of Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016.
* Third issue – The Compensation to States Act is not a colorable legislation.
Fourth issue
The Supreme Court considered the contention of the writ petitioner that goods and services tax being already imposed by three enactments of 2017 as noticed above imposition of States Compensation Cess is levied on the same taxing event and has overlapping effect which is not permissible. The Supreme Court held that it is well settled that two taxes/imposts which are separate and distinct imposts and on two different aspects of a transaction are permissible as “in law there is no overlapping”. There might be overlapping but the overlapping must be in law. The fact that there is an overlapping does not detract from the distinctiveness of the aspects. Therefore, if the taxes are separate and distinct imposts and levied on the different aspects, then there is no overlapping in law.

It has been noted that exporters had availed the option to take drawback at higher rate in place of IGST refund out of their own volition. Considering the fact that exporters have made aforesaid declaration while claiming the higher rate of drawback, it has been decided that it would not be justified allowing exporters to avail IGST refund after initially claiming the benefit of higher drawback. There is no justification for re-opening the issue at this stage.
4. Action to be taken in terms of decision taken in this Public Notice should be considered as Standing Order for the purpose of officers and staff of Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Vijayawada.

2.0 The applicant, while filing the Application seeking the Advance Ruling, explained the facts and circumstances under which the supply order was received and how, as per their understanding, Entry 72 of Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax is applicable to their case. It was submitted that Odisha Madhyamik Shiksha Mission (OMSM), Government of Odisha, had mandated the Odisha Knowledge Corporation Limited (OKCL) to implement ICT project in 4000 government and government aided higher secondary schools across the State of Odisha, Accordingly, OKCL floated a tender notice on e-tendering portal of Secured e Tendering system (SeTs).

re ready. the Applicant shall operate the same for imparting computer training. For this, they are required to provide one teacher having specified qualifications and experience, to each school. The teachers so appointed would utilize the available ICT infrastructure (i.e. the ITC lab so created by the Applicant) for imparting computer training to the students in accordance with the curriculum developed in this regard by the Board of Secondary Education. After the expiry of the contract period (i.e. 5 years), the entire infrastructure (supplied and installed) will be transferred to the School and Mass Education Department (SMED), Government of Odisha at zero transfer value.
3.0 The Applicant, in their application raised the following question to be determined by the Authority for Advance Ruling:-

It is a matter of fact that competitors of Applicant are also providing similar bundle of services to other State Governments under ICT in school scheme.

3.4 The activities undertaken are under BOOT model basis and therefore, the ownership in the infrastructure developed by it would be transferred after the expiry of the contract period (i.e. 5 years). They stated that the details in this regard are provided in the agreement that the ownership of the entire hardware, software, other equipment etc. will be transferred at zero value at the end of the contract period and therefore, they are not engaged in the supply of goods in as much as supply of goods is taking place after the expiry of 5 years. As regards supply of goods, they submitted that even if some value is to be attributed towards supply of goods (equipment / infrastructure), the supply of goods here is ancillary to the princi

tion and the written submission of the Applicant). The Applicant appeared through its Advocate and the Jurisdictional Officer of State GST & the Jurisdictional Officer of Central GST appeared in person. During personal hearing, the applicant re-iterated the earlier submissions made in the application and he once again added that the ultimate service receiver is Government of Odisha (not M/s OKCL).
5.0 We have considered the submissions made by the applicant in their application for advance ruling as well as the submissions made by the representatives during personal hearing. We also considered the question & issues on which advance ruling is sought for by the applicant, relevant facts having bearing on the question / issue raised, the Applicant's understanding/interpretation of law in respect of the issue. The Jurisdictional Officer of State GST, i.e. DCCT, Bhubaneswar III Circle stated that the facts of the present case are identical to the case already decided vide Order No.1/Od

* Such Service must be 'under any training program'
* The total expenditure of such Service is borne by the Central Government State Government or Union territory administration
5.3 Before taking a final view on whether Supply has been provided by the Applicant to the State Government, we examined the relevant documents and found that work order has been issued by the Odisha Knowledge Corporation Limited (OKCL) in their own capacity and the Applicant has signed agreement with OKCL on 07 10 2013 for implementation of the ICT @ school project in Government and Government aided higher secondary schools across the State of Odisha. When the contract is made between OKCL and M/s IL & FS, it is also necessary for us to see the legal status of OKCL. From the contract/ag

pre-requisite of the entry whether the service provided by the applicant merits 'under any training programme'.
We see that the applicant has entered into a contract with Odisha Knowledge Corporation Ltd. (OKCL) for implementation of the ICT @ school project in Government and Government aided higher secondary schools across the State of Odisha .The project aims to create digital literacy among students and teachers of government and government aided schools by setting ICT (Information & Communication Technology) Labs and providing manpower services to manage them for a period of five years. We also refer to Clause-8 of the agreemeni dt.07 10.2013 between the applicant and OKCL     [Some text are missing in original PDF]     Application which     [Some text are missing in original PDF]     applicant As enumerated therein, the Applicant, in fulfillment of its contractual obligations, has to prepare the s

mplementation of ICT project to help teachers in using smart boards and e-contents and promote e-literacy among students. Further, as forthcoming from the terms of the Contract, the intended Supplies are not just supply of Service but rather a composite supply of Goods i.e. hardware and network equipments, power equipments, maintenance of the computer hardware and network equipments and also imparting training on use of such equipments as per the syllabus prescribed by the Board of Secondary Education of Odisha. Thus, it will be incorrect to dub the entire project as a training programme. It is rather a composite supply of goods and services, not naturally but artificially bundled having distinctly separate components with distinct value attributable to each of the components.
5.6 We have carefully examined the submissions and documents provided by the applicant. We see that the contract is for supply, installation, maintenance and commissioning of projection system, interactive white

network equipments, up keeping of the ICT lab. telephone and internet charges, electricity charges and fuel for generator No doubt. the applicant has provided computer training service as part of the contract, but the said service is not pre-dominant or principal supply. In fact the contracted supply has three distinct supply components out of which training is a small component.
5.7 It has also been contended that during the period of contract, the infrastructure built by the Applicant remains property of the Applicant and in no case, the ownership of the infrastructure is transferred to the school or OMSM during the period of the contract. Even after the expiry of contract period, ownership of the entire infrastructure (supplied and installed) will be transferred to the School and Mass Education Department (SMED) but at zero transfer value. In the absence of consideration such transfer will not be a taxable supply. Thus, there was no supply of goods either during or after the contra

payment for the work done is to be made by OKCL and not the state government, though the source of funding the expenditure is by the State Government. It may be profitable to refer the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT v. Ajax Products Ltd. (1965) 55 ITR, 741, where it is held by the Hon'ble Court that:
“In a taxing statute, one has to look merely at what is clearly said. There is no room for any intendment. There is no equity about a tax. There is no presumption as to a tax. Nothing is to be read in, nothing to be implied. One can only look at the language used. ”
Thus, it may be affirmed that when the language of a taxing statute is clear, if the conditions of supply falls within the four corners of statute allowing exemption, it is to be exempted. If not, tax is to be levied. No exemption can be granted by inference or analogy. No supply can be taxed or excluded from tax on the basis of intention or scheme of the Act.
