Dear Sir(s)
A Trading company say Mr. X (deals in paper, paper machines etc.) purchased Kraft Paper (IGST @12%) from paper manufacturing company in India.

1. Ensure that goods are exported in 90 days
2. Shipping bill should mention ur name.
3. You not being manufacturer will not get incentive/drawback
4. Your AO should be give PO by merchant exporter.

REVERSE CHARGE UNDER ‘IGST’ ACT

REVERSE CHARGE UNDER ‘IGST’ ACT
By: – DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 3-9-2018

Reverse Charge
Section 2(24) of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ('Act' for short) provides that words and expressions used and not defined in this Act but defined in the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act and the Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Act shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in those Acts. The expression 'reverse charge' has not been defined in the Act. Therefore we may take the definition as contained in CGST Act, 2017. Section 2(98) of CGST Act defines the phrase 'reverse charge' as the liability to pay tax by the recipient of supply of goods or services or both instead of the supplier of such goods or services or both under sub-section (3) or sub-section (4) of section 9, or under sub-section (3) or subsection (4) of section 5 of the Integrated Goods and

* Vide Notification No.11/2018-IGST (Rate), dated 23.03.2018 the exemption was granted up to 30.06.2018;

The issue arises for consideration in both these appeals being the same, they were heard together and are disposed by this common order.
2. The respondents are engaged in the business of trading in consumer durables like TV, Fridge, Air-conditioning etc. In such activity, they also undertake warranty services and annual maintenance service. Based on specific intelligence that the respondents are providing taxable services under the category of Business Auxiliary Services and have not obtained registration and not

d the grounds filed in the appeal. He submitted that the respondents have tie-up with banks / financial institutions and customers who approach to buy consumer durables are able to avail loan from such banks / financial institutions. By this activity they were promoting the business of such financial institutions. The respondents were receiving commission / incentive from such financial institutions. The respondents have not paid the service tax on the incentives received from them and have suppressed the fact with intent to evade the payment of the service tax. He relied upon the decision of the Larger Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Pagariya Auto Center Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, Aurangabad – 2014 (33) STR 506 (Tri. LB) and argued that when commission / incentive is received by the dealer from the banks / financial institutions for promotion of their business, the activity would fall under BAS.

of the tribunal in La Freightlift P. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Service Tax, Chennai – 009 (1) STR 513 (Tri. Chen.). The ld. counsel also argued to set aside the penalties. He submitted that the issue was interpretational one and that it had travelled upto the Larger Bench. In fact, the Commissioner (Appeals) had set aside the demand observing that the activity does not fall under BAS. Being interpretational issue, the penalties may be set aside by invoking Section 80 of the Finance Act, 1994.
5. Heard both sides.
6. The original authority had confirmed the demand holding that the activity would fall under BAS. In Pagariya Auto Center (supra), the Larger Bench had observed that the court has to look into facts / documents to analyse whether the said activity falls within BAS. The Tribunal in the case of Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Vasanth & Co. – 2018 (7) TMI 1220 – CESTAT Chennai had remanded the matter directing to scrutinize the documents so as to analyze whether the case wou

cision to reduce the tax rate was taken in meeting held on 21st July while the notification of the reduced rate came into effect only from 27th July, 2018. Since it would have taken some time for the market to pass on the benefit of reduced taxes, consumers would have postponed their decision to buy expecting the benefit. The actual impact of reduction of rate of taxes would be observed only from next month onwards as the rate reduction would have got affected only in last few days of the month.

Dear Experts,
The goods are exported by paying IGST and refund was claimed against exports.
Later the same material was rejected and then re-imported by paying IGST at the time of import, ITC credit has availed for the same.
Query:
a. Do we have to pay back IGST claimed as refund at the time of export? How to pay back?
b. If the IGST is paid back, how do we claim back the IGST if the same goods is re-exported?
Thank you
Pravin
