on supplies (net of advance and goods returned)

old regime to Regular Taxation under GST?
* Taxpayers registered under composition scheme under VAT will be allowed to take credit of input in stock, or in semi-finished goods or in finished goods held on the day before the day of opting out of composition scheme.
N. What are the conditions for availing input credit on stock lying at the time of transition?
* Following are the conditions which must be addressed by the taxpayer to avail credit on input at the time of transition from composition scheme to the normal scheme:
* Inputs or goods will be used for making taxable supplies.

* ITC is eligible for availing under GST regime.
* The taxpayer has bills of input tax paid on such goods.

roduct at a lower price than regular dealers?
* Yes. Composition dealers cannot charge GST on their sales. So the end consumer pays less money than usual.
S. Can I opt-in for composition scheme anytime during the year?
* No. Before the beginning of every financial year, a registered taxpayer is required to provide a declaration on the GST Portal. This cannot be done anytime during the year.
T. What will happen if I opt out of composition scheme mid-year?
* When a dealer opts out of composition scheme all the normal rules are applicable from the day of opting out.
* For example, a composition dealer opts out of composition scheme on 15th October 2017. This means that the dealer will have to file two GSTR-4 for the quarters July – September, and October (15 days). The dealer will also have to file GSTR-1, GSTR-2, and GSTR-3 for the period of October 2017 (sales from 15th October until end of the month).

GST SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION

GST SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION
By: – DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 12-1-2018

The Goods and Service Tax concept was introduced with effect from 01.07.2017 in India. This is a very significant step taken by the Government amalgamating a large number of Central and State indirect taxes into a single tax. The tax on goods and services is integrated. The aim of introduction of GST is to mitigate cascading effect of taxation in a major way and pave the way for a common national market. Originally it was planned to introduce the GST in the year 2006 itself. But it has been delayed due to various reasons.
To enable the Central Government and State Governments for the levy of GST the Constitution was amended vide Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016, with effect from 16.09.2016. The amendment Act provides for a levy of GST on supply of all goods or services except for Alcohol for human consumption.

Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and GST (Compensation to the States) Act, 2017, with effect from 12.04.2017. In addition CGST (Extension to Jammu & Kashmir) Act, 2017 and IGST (Extension to Jammu & Kashmir) Act, 2017 were also enacted so that it would be applicable to Jammu and Kashmir. All States have enacted the respective State Goods and Services Tax Act and also the Union territories. The Central Government also notified Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 which has met many amendments and also the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017. Similarly the States and Union Territories framed Rules for this purpose.
The Central Government as well as State Governments issued many notifications, circulars, instructions, orders etc., The Central Government issued till date –
* 76 notifications for Central tax;
* 47 notifications forCentral tax (Rate);
* 12 notifications for integrated tax;

ORDER
Per Shri P. K. Choudhary
Briefly stated the facts of the case are that
2. M/s. Kunj Bihari Steel Private Limited ( the Assessee ) is engaged in the manufacture and clearance of Sponge Iron classifiable under Chapter 72 of the Central Excise Tariff Act 1985 . On 27.05.2014, the Officers of Directorate General of Central Excise, Intelligence (DGCEI), Kolkata Zonal Unit conducted a search at the Factory and Office premises of the Assessee including some other places. The said Officers also recorded the statement of Shri Amit Kumar

Further, the Revenue filed appeal No. E/76796/2017 against the Assessee M/s. Kunj Bihari Steel Private Limited and an Appeal No. E76797/2017 against Shri Amit Kumar Agarwal, Director of the Assessee.
5. Heard both the sides and perused the records.
6. The Learned Authorised Representative for the Revenue submitted that it is a case of clandestine removal of the goods which was admitted by the Assessee and also paid the duty upon detection by the department. So, imposition of penalty under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 is warranted. He further submitted that Shri Amit Kumar Agarwal, Director of the assessee company, in his statement, stated that he had knowledge of the clandestine removal of the goods. Therefore, the imposition of penalty on the Director of the Assessee by the Adjudicating authority is required to be restored. The Learned authorised representative drew the attention of the Bench to the relevant portion of the Adjudication Order.
7. The Learned Counsel

ioned statement dated 29/09/2014, that Shri Amit Agarwal, Director of Noticee No.1 admitted the fact of selling of consignment of Sponge Iron to broker to get ready cash to meet day to petty expenses of the company and place of delivery was not recorded as the same was not known to them. He also admitted the fact of not entering the said quantity of Sponge Iron in Daily Stock Account. In view of the above facts, the contention of the noticee for not conducting physical stock verification and not conducting enquiry regarding receipt of sale proceeds to arrive at charges of clandestine removal of finished goods is not acceptable to me. The noticee submits that the Department did not examine the aspect of receipt of sale proceeds by the Noticee No.1 but I find that when the Director himself could not provide the details and admitted to the fact that there was clandestine removal, the said defence also does not have any merit.
In my view, if the Director of the Noticee No.1 who is the m

over the entire state of affairs of Noticee No.1 and having the deliberate knowledge and reasons to believe, actively participated in the entire scheme of unauthorised and unlawful clearance of finished goods from the factory o Noticee No.1 as evidenced from the records without payment of Central Excise duty. While rendering his statement dated 29.09.2014, Shri Agarwal has admitted that some consignments of Sponge Iron cleared from the factory for the period from 01.10.2013 to 08.05.2014 without issuance of Central Excise Invoice and without payment of Central Excise Duty. The act of Shri Amit Kumar Agarwal, Director rendered himself liable to penalty under Rule 26 of Central Excise Rules, 2002.
In the absence of any evidence produced before me, I am unable to hold that the ratio of the various decision as relied upon Noticee would supply in this case.”
9. On the other hand, the Learned Commissioner (Appeals) observed that there is a lapse on the investigation by the Investigating

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only
For full text:-Visit the Source

= = = = = = = =

imposition of penalty on the Assessee is required to be upheld. However, I agree with the submission of the Learned Counsel for the Assessee that there is no material available on record that Shri Amit Kumar Agarwal, Director of the Assessee had clear knowledge of the clandestine removal of the goods. In any event, the Director of the Assessee had co-operated with the Investigating Officer and paid duty and therefore, imposition of penalty on him is not justified.
10. In view of the above discussions, against the Appeal No. E/76774 of 2017 filed by the Revenue against the assessee is allowed, Cross Objection disposed off. Appeal No. E/76797 of 2017 filed by the Revenue against the Assessee s Director is dismissed. Appeal No. E/76796/2017 as filed by the Revenue against the Assessee had already been covered vide Appeal No. E/76774 of 2017 and is accordingly dismissed as infructuous.

GST
Dated:- 11-1-2018

Question 1: I am a single truck owner-operator and I ply my truck mostly between States, carrying the goods booked for my truck by an agent; aggregate value of service which I provided exceeded twenty lakh rupees during last year. Am I supposed to take registration?
Answer: You are not liable to registration, as services provided by way of transportation of goods by road are exempt. Notification number 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate), dated 28th June, 2017 refers.
Question 2: I own a single truck and I rent it to a major player, who provides GTA service; should I take a registration? Does my monthly rental/lease income attract GST?
Answer: Registration is not required since services by way of giving on hire, a means of transportation of goods to a GTA are exempt from tax vide entry no. 22 of Notification number 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June, 2017.
Question 3: In my truck, I only carry fruits and vegetables

= = = = = = = =

= = = = = = = =

records of my services of transportation?
Answer: Yes, in terms of section 35(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 you are required to maintain records of the consigner, consignee and other relevant details of the goods. Further, in terms of rule 56 of the CGST Rules, 2017 you are required to maintain records of goods transported, delivered and goods stored in transit by you along with the GSTIN of the registered consigner and consignee for each of your branches.
Question 6: Are intermediary and ancillary services, such as, loading/unloading, packing/unpacking, transhipment and temporary warehousing, provided in relation to transportation of goods by road to be treated as part of the GTA service, being a composite supply, or these services are to be treated as separate supplies.

ame invoice or separate invoices, they shall be treated as separate supplies.
Question 7: As per Notification number 05/2017-Central Tax dated 19th June, 2017, the persons who are only engaged in making supplies of taxable goods or services or both, the total tax on which is liable to be paid on reverse charge basis by the recipient of such goods or services or both under sub-section (3) of section 9 of the CGST Act, 2017 are exempted from obtaining registration under the said Act. Please clarify whether a GTA providing service in relation to transportation of goods by road under reverse charge mechanism (RCM) can avail of the benefit of this exemption.
Answer: Yes, a GTA providing service in relation to transportation of goods by road under RCM can avail of the benefit of this exemption.
Question 8: Can a GTA obtain registration for one vertical (Rail, Cargo, Renting, Warehousing etc.) for which tax needs to be paid while not obtaining registration for another vertical (GTA under

therefore attract GST regardless of whether ITC has been availed or not.
Question 10: Please clarify whether input tax credit is available to the recipient of service, when the GST paid by him is at a concessional rate of 5% under RCM.
Answer: Yes, input tax credit is available in such cases.
Question 11: When a GTA hires a truck (with driver) from another GST registered entity for the purpose of providing goods transport service to a registered recipient, whether tax credit is available to the GTA on the GST paid by him to the owner of the truck registered under GST.
Answer: Services by way of giving on hire to a GTA, a means of transportation of goods are exempt from GST under Notification number 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017. When the tax is not payable, the question of taking any tax credit does not arise.

use a break in continuous journey. Thus a travel on Delhi-London-New York on a single ticket with a halt at London will be covered by the definition of continuous journey. However, the return journey of New York-London-Delhi will be treated as a separate journey and will be outside the scope of a continuous journey.
Question 13: How GST is to be charged on a multi-leg international journey, say Delhi-Dubai-Boston-Dubai-Delhi? Is GST chargeable for the entire journey and discharged at Delhi, or the GST is to be charged for Delhi-Dubai sector alone and discharged at Delhi, or GST is to be charged up to the farthest point of return, i.e. Delhi-Dubai-Boston at Delhi?
Answer: In this case if a single ticket or invoice has been issued for the Delhi-Dubai-Boston then it is a continuous journey even if there is a stopover at Dubai and the tax (CGST + SGST) would be charged at Delhi. The return journey of Boston-Dubai-Delhi would not be a continuous journey. The return journey not being a co

serially numbered, and whether or not containing the address of the recipient of service but containing other information as mentioned under Rule 46 of the Rules ibid. As the electronic tickets issued by the Airlines are in the global standard format, such electronic ticket receipts are not required to be signed or digitally signed.
Question 16: Whether the Airlines are required to issue invoice to the customers transaction-wise, (i.e. Airway Bill-wise, Ticket Journey-wise) or a consolidated invoice, capturing the details of all individual invoices for a particular entity, can be issued on a monthly or fortnightly basis?
Answer: A single invoice incorporating the details of all the supplies for a particular entity can be issued subject to provisions of section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017. In such a case the ticket issued by the Airlines would not take the character of an invoice.
Question 17: Would GST be applicable on air travel undertaken on or after 1st July 2017 on tickets issued
