Sir
There are no chapter notes in GST tariff as were in the Excise tariff.
There were many items in the excise tariff which were specifically by virtue of the chapter notes were taxed and classified in different chapters.
One of the example is the watch chains of precious metal which was specifically changed by the virtue of the chapter note from the chapter tariff 9113 to 7113 in excise.
Now under GST regime what should be the right HSN code for the watch chains of the precious metal as per logic it should be taxed under 9113 but as per the custom tariff it is still fal

In view of the above watch chains of the precious metal are correctly classifiable under heading No. 7113 . This is my opinion. If you feel the rate of tax is on higher side, make a representation GST Council for reduction of the same.
Reply By KASTURI SETHI:
The Reply:
Classification is always linked with the function and end use of any product. Keeping in view the purpose, it should fall under Chapter 91 but as suggested by Sh.Ranganathan Sir, you should make representation to the Chairman, GST Council. It is the better option. GST Council takes up such issues.

The Puzzle in Health Care Sector finally solved!

The Puzzle in Health Care Sector finally solved!
By: – Pragya Rajpurohit
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 20-1-2018

Introduction:
The 25th GST council held on 18th January 2018 has finally resolved one of the jigsaw puzzles that have been mystifying the health care sector since 1st July 2017. GST had brought a paradigm shift in the indirect tax however some of the concepts like “bundled services” under the erstwhile service tax regime had been brought forward under a more broad term as “composite supply”. This term composite supply in GST also included the supply of goods unlike the pre GST regime. Health Care services provided by hospitals were exempt supplies however other supplies (if provided separately) like sale of medicaments; food, rental etc were subject to GST.
What was that concerning the health sector?
The provision of “health care” services was exempt under entry 74 of the Notification 12/2017 – Central Tax (Rate). The entry has been reiterated below

om rent, consultancy charges, food & beverages, bed charges, operation theatre rent, equipment charges, Doctor fees, pharmacy consumed. This type of supplies involved provision of both goods and services and one may have to look into the provisions of Section 8 of the CGST Act.
Section 8 of the CGST Act provides the taxability of composite and mixed supply as under:
Particulars
Taxation
Composite Supply
Treated as a supply of principal supply and rate of GST will the rate at which the principal supply is taxed
Mixed Supply
Treated as a supply of that particular supply which attracts the highest rate of tax.
As per Section 2(30) a “composite supply” means a supply made by a taxable person to a recipient consisting of two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or both, or any combination thereof, which are naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business, one of which is a principal supply.

above question and has clarified in the press release dated 18.01.2018 that all the supplies of goods or services to the patients shall be regarded as heath care services, hence giving a major relief. The text of the press release is reproduced below:
“To clarify that,-
1) Services provided by senior doctors/consultants/technicians hired by the hospitals, whether employees or not, are healthcare services which is exempt.
2) Hospitals also provide healthcare services. The entire amount charged by them from the patients including the retention money and the fee/payments made to the doctors etc., is towards the healthcare services provided by the hospitals to the patients and is exempt.
3) Food supplied to the in-patients as advised by the doctor/nutritionists is a part of composite supply of healthcare and not separately taxable. Other supplies of food by a hospital to patients (not admitted) or their attendants or visitors are taxable.

Goods and Services Tax (GST), introduced from July 1, 2017 is over six months old now but has resulted in operational and implementation disruptions affecting all stakeholders. GST law, as drafted and legislated, is not free from the interpretational hassles. GST Council his however, making regular changes to fix the anomalies and hardships faced by taxpayers.

GST Council discusses making return filing process simpler – FM Arun Jaitley briefed media on GST Council meeting
GST
Dated:- 18-1-2018

New Delhi, Jan 18 (PTI) The all-powerful GST Council today veered around the idea of making the GST return filing process simpler to ease compliance burden for small businesses.
The panel, headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and comprising representatives of all states, at its 25th meeting today decided to reduce tax rate on 29 items and 54 categories of services with effect from January 25.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, Jaitley said the next meeting of the Council may consider bringing items like crude oil, natural gas, petrol, diesel, ATF and real estate within the GST purview.

intra-state movements as well, he said.
After implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July 1, the requirement of carrying e-way bill was postponed pending IT network readiness.
Once the e-way bill system is implemented, tax avoidance will become extremely difficult as the government will have details of all goods above the value of ₹ 50,000 moved and can spot the mismatch if either the supplier or the purchaser does not file tax returns.
