Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 4-12-2017

There is a new provision Section 171 in the CGST Act read with Rules 122 to 137 of the CGST Rules that enable the Government to constitute an authority to monitor the prices that businesses charge for goods and services, following the introduction of GST and reduce it commensurate to the GST gains , if not passed on already to consumers.
This is in line with the Constitution of India providing for price control in the concurrent list or what is otherwise called as List III of Schedule VII of entry 97 where among other things dealt therein, taxation matters are one.
The fact that Center and States have concurrent powers to legislate from list III did not however witness either of them making any anti-profiteering Legislation except i

n cartelize to hold on to the gains to strengthen their lobby to retain the GST gains. In such an event the role of the oversight agency assumes relevance and importance post GST.
It is also felt at the same time that it will be too difficult like finding some needles in the haystack, to pinpoint those who profited in a given case of reduction in the post GST scenario compared to before and after the tax change.
Further, the job of such an agency will be even otherwise pretty much difficult since reduction in prices could be genuinely attributable to very many factors other than a rate reduction as it is fervently believed by the Government.
May be it is good to have such an Oversight Agency in place lest the prospect of a progressive reduction in rates on the successful functioning of GST should lead to profiteering tendencies among businesses.
Well, in that sense it is good to have it but not good enough if the Government went with the hare of reform and hunted hard with the houn

T in their Country to assess the impact of the reduction in rates on prices across various sectors of goods and services and across their country.
Penal actions were tarried and taken only in 14 cases across the country. Will you believe it and that too only on specific study and information that gains were made but were not parted to the consumers?
The result was that they were left with good enough time to gather adequate price data bearing upon taxes such that they could persuade business to pass on the tax benefits to the people in the form of reduced prices.
Even the Malaysian experiment reveals that the country prepared the business and people for two long years before GST could be introduced as a unified central tax at a meager rate of 6%.
The Malaysian Customs Department provided enough education and software support of accounting packages to business, tuned to handle GST with ease unlike the unfortunate Indian experience of glitches ridden electronic framework that GSTN h

other factors to have had a positive influence on price in my personal opinion for the following reasons;
There is only a thin line between Profit and Profiteering. What is the guarantee that what business considers a normal profit may be treated as profiteering by the Government. Profit is considered a legitimate reward for risk taken by the business.
Profit is normally influenced by variety of factors like operational efficiency, demand-supply proposition, a new market advantage, Price penetration, seasonality of a product or services so on and so forth.
In such a situation, if a businessman earns a slightly higher profit it would not perhaps require under Anti-profiteering clause to pass on the benefit to his customer always?
There is no straight formula prescribed under the regulations to quantify the impact of input tax credits or the reduction in the price on account of any reduction in the tax rate with the final prices of goods or services. How to deal with this under GST

credits available instead of non-recoverable taxes etc) of the same products or class of products. GST would then apply to that new GST exclusive selling price.
Once the tax commenced, the prices set by businesses should be commensurate with the relevant market sensitivities, expectations and acceptance.
As noted by the Chairman of the ACCC, any well informed, competitive market operating in a climate of low inflation and good corporate citizenship can alone ensure that the vast majority of businesses will act fairly.
For most Indian businesses, complying with these provisions is no small matter.
It is reasonable to expect that in a dynamic, competitive and diverse market such as India, market forces will ensure that any reduction in an Indian business' cost base on account of the GST will flow through to lower prices
As part of anti-profiteering strategies for business, they must be encouraged to follow non profiteering policies by first providing them with

uction agreeable to business and consumers in a happy way.
Some time, supply chain cost is reduced purely due to business efficiency. Such situations may not require price reduction
The GST rate fixation exercise has followed largely the template of superimposition of the present central and state taxes and rounding off all the rates to the nearest higher percentage, as understood from the FM's recent remarks.
As can be seen, the gap between the old rate and the new being so narrow except perhaps in the 178 items shifted with effect from 15th November from 28% to 18% and a few others from 18% to 12%, that it is tough to take any anti-profiteering measure at this instant.
In fact, it is argued that the entire tax fitment exercise cuts the aggregate of the old taxes so fine in relation to the new rates and careful blocking of ITC in many cases, that it would almost leave one with no big gain accruing due to the change that it should be termed unlawful.
However, whatever be the gain,

Yes the tool is retained for the purpose of manufacture of components. The tool is developed and the sample is approved by the customer. It can be treated as a supply of service (export of service). No GST is payable.
If you have to treat it as supply of goods, then it cannot be considered as an export as there is no shipping bill to prove that the goods have left the country.

The petitioner further alleges that it downloaded the TDF on the same day i.e. on 15.11.2017 (A copy of the same has also been annexed with the writ petition) and filed its reply along with the TDF but the goods were seized on 16.11.2017.

However, learned Standing Counsel does not dispute the fact that the TDF was downloaded by the petitioner on 15.11.2017 at 10.39 pm. Also he is unable to show from the penalty order how the respondent no.4 has inferred the intention to evade tax.

Input Tax Credit under GST

Input Tax Credit under GST
By: –
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 2-12-2017

Goods and Service Tax (GST) in India provides for seamless and continuous flow of input tax credit (ITC). In the earlier tax regime, cascading of tax is significant due to non-availability of ITC at various stages. Credit of taxes like CST, Entry Tax, and Luxury Tax was not available which became cost of the goods/services. Credit of VAT was not available to manufacturers and service providers and CENVAT credit and credit of Additional Duty of Customs/Countervailing Duty was unavailable to VAT dealers unless registered as First/Second stage dealers.
The tax not available as credit became part of the cost which adds to the price of goods/service. Ultimate burden of taxes not available as credit fell on the end consumer.
Under GST, ITC will be available for tax paid at all the stages of supply paid in course or furtherance of business. ITC will flow uninterruptedly not only for intra-Stat

If the discrepancy is not rectified the excess claim of ITC shall be added to the output liability of the recipient.
The person claiming excess credit has to bear interest.
Cases give rise to discrepancy-
* Reversal / Mismatch of ITC;
* Excess claim of ITC by recipient;
* Outward supply not declared by the supplier;
* Duplication of claim of ITC by recipient
A person who has not furnished a valid return shall not be allowed to utilize ITC.
The recipient can avail the ITC by filing a return but he cannot utilize the same unless he has filed the valid return. The recipient can re-claim the reversed ITC after the supplier has paid the taxes due from him.
10. Conclusion:
ITC allowed in GST is quite liberal and elaborate as compared to existing laws. An effort has been made to permit ITC in respect of all taxes paid in relation to business expenses except those of personal nature. The ITC self assessed in the return wou

Can I export under LUT during a tax period and switch over to on payment of IGST in alternate tax period.
Being IGST is set off in electronic credit ledger once for a month at the time of filling GSTR 3B, How export on payment of IGST would be treated, It would be payable at the time of export and will be paid from ITC at the time of GSTR3B return.

xported out of India, majority of refund claims for exports made in July, 2017, wherever due, have been sanctioned. Refund claims of IGST paid for exports made in August, September and October 2017 are being sanctioned seamlessly wherever returns have been accurately filed. The prerequisites for sanction of refund of IGST paid are filing of GSTR 3 B and table 6A of GSTR 1 on the GSTN portal and Shipping Bill(s) on Customs EDI System by the exporter. It is essential that exporters should ensure that there is no discrepancy in the information furnished in Table 6A of GSTR 1 and the Shipping Bill. It has been observed that certain common errors such as incorrect Shipping Bill number in GSTR1, mis-match of invoice number and IGST amount paid, wrong bank account etc. are being committed by exporters while filing their returns. These errors are the sole reason for delay in grant of refunds, or rejection thereof. While information has been made available to Exporters on the ICEGATE portal if

Thereafter, a proof of debit (ARN- Acknowledgement Receipt Number) shall be generated on the GSTN portal, which is to be mentioned on the print-out of the FORM GST RFD-01A and to be submitted manually to the jurisdictional officer. The exporters may ensure that all the necessary documentary evidences are submitted along with the Form GST RFD 01A for timely sanction of refund.
Exporters are, therefore, advised to immediately file (a) Table 6A and GSTR 3B, if not already done, for processing of IGST refund (b) RFD 01A on GSTN portal for refund of the unutilized input tax credit on inputs or input services used in making exports and (c) GSTR 1 for August 2017 for amending details provided in July GSTR1 wherever required.

GST UPDATE ON TREATMENT OF JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS – PART IV:-

GST UPDATE ON TREATMENT OF JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS – PART IV:-
By: – Pradeep Jain
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 1-12-2017

Treatment of Joint Development Agreements in GST regime is very critical. In earlier three parts of this series, we have discussed the liability on account of builder and land owner in respect of construction of flats. In this update, we shall discuss the very important and not much talked aspect of joint development agreement, i.e. transfer of land development rights. In joint development agreement, the land owner transfers the right to develop the land to the builder. The builder develops the land and undertakes the construction of flats. Once the flats are constructed, some of them are tran

GST on the land development rights. It is worth noting here that the consideration received against transfer of land development rights is in form of flats received from the builder. Therefore, holding this view, there will be liability to pay tax on the transfer of land development rights. Another school of thoughts is of the opinion that it is outside the purview of GST as it is neither the supply of goods nor supply of service. It is worthwhile to mention here that schedule III of CGST Act, 2017 prescribes the list of transactions which are outside the purview of GST.
Clause 3 of schedule III covers the sale of land. Therefore, where a transaction is of sale of land, it will be outside the purview of GST. This school of thought is of t

lowing stages:-
* On transfer of land development rights – GST will be payable by the land owner.
* On construction of flats (whether sold to land owner or transferred to independent buyer) in accordance with schedule II [clause 5(b)] – GST will be payable by the builder.
* On further sale of flats by land owner from his share of received flats – GST will be payable by the land owner.
Thus, following this view, GST will be levied twice in hands of land owner. However, it is worthwhile to mention here that as of now land owners are not paying any tax on the transfer of land development rights. It is worth noting here that the joint development agreements were given same treatment in the service tax regime also and no one was paying th
