is the present system different from GST? Ans. It is an indisputable truth that the introduction of GST will affect the F&B and the Restaurant and Hospitality industry in a considerable manner, and will bring about wide changes in the present system that prevails in the industry. Under the present system, if the total restaurant bill is ₹ 100, then the service tax is charged at the rate of 15%, only on 40% of the total bill amount. This means the effective rate of service tax is 6%. Other than this, VAT is applicable on 60% of the bill amount. After the GST comes into the picture, the entire amount shall be liable for GST. The GST rules require that there will be two different types of GST levied on each transaction – State GST and Central GST. The rates of these two taxes are finalized by the Central Government. But remember that both of these taxes will be applicable on the entire bill amount. The new GST regime promises the following- Elimination of Tax Cascading Uniform l

Hotel lodges with tariffs between ₹ 1,000- ₹ 2,500 will be charged 12% tax Hotel lodges with tariffs between ₹ 2,500- ₹ 7,500 will be charged 18% tax. Hotel lodges with tariffs more than ₹ 7,500 will be charged 28% tax. What is Input Tax Credit? Ans. For taxes to be paid at the previous stage of the supply chain, Input Tax Credit is granted. This is done to ensure that the tax is levied only on the amount of value addition at each stage of the supply chain. For instance, a restaurant owner would get credits for the taxes paid on the raw materials purchased while computing the final indirect tax liability on the items that are collected from the consumers. If your restaurant business has annual sales above ₹ 20 lakh, then you are liable to pay the GST. How would my restaurant benefit from the GST? A

heer in the GST regime. Under the earlier tax regime, restaurant business owners did not get any option to adjust the output service tax liability with the credit of input VAT on goods consumed. However, under the new regime both these taxes will get subsumed into GST and thus irrespective of goods and services, the credit of input will be available for adjustment against the output liability. This will further optimize the working capital of these restaurants and in turn, consumers can expect a more superior quality of food and services. Raw materials can be procured at subsidized rates from agriculturalists and farmers at a single stroke instead of owners having to negotiate taxes shall remain uniform throughout states thus making the competition even. The overall cost of procuring goods will thus decrease substantially, making the restaurant business a viable and easily manageable venture again.

Impact of GST on Import Export Market

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Ankush Sachdeva – Dated:- 26-9-2017 – India s exports sprouted at its swift pace in these recent years by 4.6% to $ 284.55 billion during the financial year 2016-17, regardless of the demonetisation ferry that actually decelerate domestic economic activity since November. In March, exports had risen to a hoop from 26.6% to $28.23 billion after clocking a 16.5% jump in February, government surveys also showed that shipment of petroleum products jumped by 70% while engineering goods were up by 48%. India s rank is 19th out of 30 top exporters worldwide shows the predominance of our export industry. That is why the impact of GST on Export industry is very noteworthy. What is GST In simple words, we can say that GST is a tax that is levied on the consumption that is enforced on manufacture sale and consumption of goods & services at a national level. This kind of tax will remain same for all indirect tax levied by state and central government. It i

numerous taxes under the current system of tax. The prerequisite of input tax credit will be accessible to exporters even in the case of state taxes (SGST), which is basically not available to the exporters under the previous tax regime. In other words, one can say that, an input tax credit explicit that while paying tax on the output, one can accentuate the tax that has already been paid on inputs. Accordingly, one does not pay the same tax twice and alternative he can pay only the amount of tax on the value addition done. This consideration by the government will bring down the costs of inputs and the amount of taxes paid by the exporters. Ultimately this will reduce costs and act as an incentive for the exporters. Spectacular benefits to the exporters: One of the major benefit to the exporters is that by the incorporation of Central and State taxes in GST with intact set-off on input goods and services and curtailing out of Central Sales Tax (CST) will diminish the cost of locally

d to increased benefits to the exporters. Looking Towards the duty drawback scheme As far as the duty drawback scheme is concerned, the major advantage of this scheme is that the exporters can easily get the refund of the customs and excise duties that are paid on the imported items. The GST legislation has specified the limitation on some of the imported items. So, inference can be drawn that you will get refund of the taxes paid on both imported as well as domestic inputs. This will ultimately benefit the small exporters who are placed in the remote areas where availability of raw material become a headache for these traders. Zero GST rate on exports This factor will impact the industry in a constructive mode. The complaints of exporters have been meticulously handled, and the aggregate impact of these measures is going to fabricate Indian exports more competitive in the international markets, and give a jostle to the export business in India.

Ltd. – 2017 (9) TMI 1308 – SUPREME COURT OF INDIA In an important decision though related to Karnataka Value Added Tax (VAT) but equally important in the GST era for reversal of Input Tax Credit on exempted by-products. While interpreting the provisions of Section 17 of KVAT, hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of 2017 (9) TMI 1308 – SUPREME COURT OF INDIA, held that: – Fourthly, the entire scheme of the KVAT Act is to be kept in mind and Section 17 is to be applied in that context. Sunflower oil cake is subject to input tax. The Legislature, however, has incorporated the provision, in the form of Section 10, to give tax credit in respect of such goods which are u

[ 1992 (10) TMI 240 – SUPREME COURT OF INDIA] – In this context, if the Legislature has decided to give partial rebate of input tax under the circumstances mentioned in that provision, that has to be strictly applied. – On literal interpretation of Section 17 it can be gathered that it does not distinguish between by-product, ancillary product, intermed

Improved Quality of Service How many times have you had to wait in the hotel lobby wondering if you would miss your flight back home because your bill was still being prepared? With just one tax to compute, the checking-out process at hotels and restaurants will now become easier – another perk that the hospitality industry can brag about. Availability of Input Tax The tourism and hospitality industry will find it easier to claim and avail input tax credit (ITC) and will get full ITC on their inputs. Before GST, the tax paid on inputs (raw edibles for food, cleaning supplies etc.) could not be adjusted against the output without any complications.
