ich the RCM is applicable: Supplies notified by Government u/s 9(3) Taxable Supplies by unregistered person to registered person In case of RCM, the liability to pay tax is on the recipient of supply of goods and services instead of the supplier of such goods or services in respect of notified categories of supply. As the director s services are covered under section 9(3), the liability to pay tax is on the recipient company despite of the fact the turnover from director s services exceeds ₹ 20L or 10L.

eeds to be paid in the state where supply takes place, thereupon which it would land up in the hands of destination state government. The principles of determining the nature of supply (i.e. inter state supply or intra state supply) remain the same in case of RCM as well since the government has merely chosen the recipient of goods/services as the point of convenience from the point of view of better compliance with the law. Section 7 of the IGST Act states that where the location of the supplier and the place of supply are located in two different states or UTs, the transaction shall be an inter-state supply. Section 8 of the IGST Act states that where the location of the supplier and place of supply are located in the same state or UT, the transaction will qualify as an intra-state transaction. Place of supply Section 12(2)(a) of the IGST Act determines place of supply as the location of person where the services are received. A director services on the board of the company. The boar

The discussions held in board meeting is not restricted to a particular place but governing decisions are taken for benefit of entity as whole. Therefore, no matter where they meet, the meeting still discusses matters pertaining to the company, and therefore, the usual place of corporate governance should still be taken as the place of supply. Location of supplier in case of director services As per section 2(15) of IGST Act, location of the supplier of services means,- (a) where a supply is made from a place of business for which the registration has been obtained, the location of such place of business; (b) where a supply is made from a place other than the place of business for which registration has been obtained (a fixed establishment elsewhere), the location of such fixed establishment; (c) where a supply is made from more than one establis

GST has subsumed all indirect Central and State taxes in the country. Some key features of GST are highlighted below for information and compliance of all concerned:- 1. It is a dual GST. The Central Goods and Service Tax (CGST) is levied and collected under the CGST Act, 2017. The State Goods and Service Tax (SGST) is levied and collected under the SGST Act, 2017.

the payment made or credited to the supplier (deductee) of taxable goods or services or both, where the total value of such supply, under a contract, exceeds ₹ 2.50 lakhs. 5. Presently, the relevant provisions for deduction of TDS under GST are yet to be enforced. Therefore, w.e.f. 1st July, 2017, the concerned DDOs' shall have to release payments to the suppliers/contractors against any supply or contracts made after July 1, 2017 without deducting any TDS till the relevant provision is made operative by law. However, payments made to suppliers or contractors (after July 1, 2017) for supplies or contract made or done prior to July 1, 2017 shall continue to be liable for TDS under the earlier law i.e., VAT Act. For ongoing supplies or works contract, the supplies made or works executed after 1st July, 2017, shall be governed by the provisions of the GST Act. 7.

under section 24 (vi) of the Nagaland GST Act, 2017. As per latest information received, registration for persons liable to deduct tax at source shall commence from 18th September 2017. AS and when the window for GST registration opens, all liable DDOs are advised to immediately apply for registration and obtain the GSTIN within the time prescribed. 10.

Without GSTIN, DDOs will have no legal authority to deduct the tax at source from the deductee. c. Legally, without GSTIN a DDO will not be able to award supplies or contract to suppliers, where the total value of such supply under a contract exceeds ₹ 2.5 lakhs 11. The date from which the provision of TDS under GST is to be made operative shall be informed to all concerned in due course of time. Sd/- (Temjen Toy) Addl. Chief Secretary & Finance Commissioner. K

Narendra Plastic Private Limited Versus Union of India & Others

2017 (9) TMI 674 – DELHI HIGH COURT – 2017 (4) G. S. T. L. 439 (Del.) – Additional Levy of IGST – Advance Authorization scheme – The grievance of the Petitioner is that it holds export orders placed on it prior to 1st July 2017 for the fulfilment of which it has to undertake imports of inputs. The Petitioner seeks to explain that, with the change brought about by the GST regime, the Petitioner would have no option but to pay IGST out of its sources causing a working capital blockage.

Held that: – The exporter prices the export commodity on the basis of the extant FTP. The Indian exporters, in order to remain competitive in the global market, account for the exemptions/concessions given to such exporter under the FTP. Export orders are usually placed several months in advance and the price fixed is not variable beyond a point – If an additional levy is imposed, after the acceptance of such export orders, the resultant burden cannot possibly be passed on by the exporter to the buy

C.M. No. 27111/2017 Dated:- 11-9-2017 – S. Muralidhar And Prathiba M. Singh, JJ. For the Petitioner : Mr. Abhishek Rastogi, Mr. Rashmi Deshpande, Mr. Ayush A.Mehrotra, Ms. Anjali Krishnan, Mr. Tushar Talwar, Advocates For the Respondents : Mr. Sanjeev Narula, CGSC with Mr. Abhishek Ghai, Advocate for CBEC ORDER 1. The present writ petition is by Narendra Plastic Private Limited, which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and exporting plastic products and has its registered address at Goregaon (East), Mumbai. 2. The Foreign Trade Policy ( FTP ) 2015-2020 was notified by Trade Notification No. 1/2015-2020 dated 1st April 2015 and operationalised by Notification No. 18/2015-Cus dated 1st April 2015. In terms thereof, an Advance Authorization Scheme (AAS) was made available as a duty exemption scheme under Chapter 4. Exporter manufacturers, like the Petitioner, were entitled to duty free import of the input which is physically incorporated in the export product. Imports under the

g those duties which are exempt from payment for holders of Advance Authorizations. One significant change is that while many of the earlier exemptions listed out hereinbefore continue, for imports made after 1st July 2017, there is an additional levy of an Integrated Goods and Service Tax ( IGST ). Section 3 (7) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 ( CTA 1975 ) now provides that: (7) any article which is imported into India shall, in addition, be liable to integrated tax at such rate, not exceeding forty per cent, as is leviable under Section 5 of the Integrated Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 on a like article on its supply in India, on the value of the imported article as determined under sub-section(8) 5. The grievance of the Petitioner is that it holds export orders placed on it prior to 1st July 2017 for the fulfilment of which it has to undertake imports of inputs. One such export order placed on the Petitioner by Walmart Inc., USA has been enclosed as Annexure-P/3 to C.M. No. 28923/

ior to 1st July 2017. The Petitioner prays that it should not be asked to pay the additional IGST on such imports as that would make the levy arbitrary and unreasonable. 7. This Court first issued notice in the petition on 1st July 2017 proposing to hear the petition on 30th October 2017. However, the Petitioner filed C.M. No. 28923/2017 seeking an interim order to permit it to make the imports without payment of the additional levy of IGST and also to seek advancement of the date of hearing. On 11th August 2017, while the Court declined interim relief at that stage, it considered it appropriate to advance the hearing of the petition to today. 8. Although the Court had granted the time to the Respondent till 31st August 2017 to file a reply to the petition, it is only today that Mr. Sanjeev Narula, the learned Senior Standing Counsel for the Customs Department, has handed over, to the Court, the counter affidavit dated 11th September 2017 sworn to by Mr. Himanshu Gupta, Principal Commi

the Ministry of Commerce. 10. The working of the AAS is such that, for the import of inputs made by exporter towards fulfilment of export orders, the credit of customs duty, as specified in the Advance Authorization licenses issued to the exporter, is permitted to be availed of at the time of import. For instance, in the present case, one of the Advance Authorizations issued to the Petitioner specifies the period for which such authorization is valid, i.e. 18 months.
