The current headline rate of service tax on construction of flats, residences, offices etc. is 4.5%. Over and above this, VAT @ 1% under composition scheme is also charged. The buyer only looks at the headline rate of 5.5%. In other cities/states, where VAT is levied under the composition scheme @ 2% or above, the headline rate visible to the customer is above 6.5%. What the customer does not see is the embedded taxes on account of cascading and sticking of input taxes in the cost of the flat, etc. 5. This will change under GST. Under GST, full input cre

Valuation of Tax liabilities Under GST Regime

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Priya Sharma – Dated:- 14-6-2017 Last Replied Date:- 30-12-1899 – Valuation of tax is also known as calculation of tax liability of an individual. When we discuss about the tax liability of an individual, it is basically the sum total of amount of tax that an individual is liable to pay during the period of taxation. The types of valuation of tax in the GST regime as per the GST rules and regulations in India is quite similar when we compare it to the ones in the current regime. Typically, there are two types of valuations- valuation done by an individual on his own, also known as self-valuation, and valuation made by the respective tax authorities. Valuation of tax by the tax authorities can be compris

taxable as per the required GST rules and regulations in India is unable to assess the value of goods and services or find or find out the tax rate that is applicable for his offering, that individual can put forth a request to the officer to permit the disbursal of tax at provisional timelines. Once the officer passes an order giving the necessary permission to the individual, he/she can make the tax payment on provisional basis. The individual has to sign a bond and pay a certain security, also known as surety, as the respective officer deems fit. By signing the bond, the individual becomes obligated to pay the difference between the amount provisionally valuated and the final valuation. The officer must pass the order for final valuatio

vidual, an officer will certainly valuate the tax liability of that individual to the best of the abilities. The relevant material that is available and what the officer is able to garner are some of the things that will be taken into account. The officer will then have to issue an assessment order within 5 years from the due date of filing the tax return. The assessment will be withdrawn if the individual is able to file the return within the first 30 days from the order.

Andaman Nicobar, Lakshadweep may see cost increase, post GST

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 13-6-2017 – New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI) As India gets ready to ring in the unified GST, people in tiny islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep may perhaps be the sole exception who stand to lose out once the tax structure is implemented. The islands do not impose any sales tax or VAT to make up for the additional cost required for transporting goods. But with the launch of the goods and services tax (GST) from July 1, all goods and services consumed in the islands – like elsewhere in the country – will be levied a tax of 5, 12, 18 or 28 per cent. In other words, this would make the goods pricey. Prof Jagdish Mukhi, Lt Governor of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, at the meeting of the GST Council earl

Exporters Refund in GST

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Jasbir Uppal – Dated:- 13-6-2017 Last Replied Date:- 17-6-2017 – Exporters Refund in GST Indian exporters are worried about the advent of GST and the liquidity crunch it could create for them. The crunch, and issues connected to GST administration could adversely affect their overall competitiveness. Relief by refunds The Finance Ministry has recently assured exporters that 90 percent of taxes paid will be refunded within seven days. This is certainly good news for exporters. However, given that GST is a new system involving both the central government and states, the speed with which refunds will be issued remains a source of concern. Section 2(2) words and expressions not defined in this Act shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Central Goods and service Tax Act, 2016 Terms Export of goods and import of goods have been defined as under vide Section 2 of the central GST Act, 2016: Export of Goods with its grammatical variations and cognat

Section 2(c) of IGST Act, 2016 Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) means tax levied under this Act on the supply of any goods and /or services in the course of inter State trade or commerce.

ods in the course of the import of goods into or exports of goods out of the territory of India. Consequently, the claimant for the exemption would still need to establish the identity of the goods so sold to have been exported out of India, to qualify for the exemption. Exporter worries Exports are exempt from many domestic indirect taxes under the current tax regime. This will change once GST kicks in. GST is imposed every time value is added, so manufacturing exporters will have to pay GST at various stages, beginning with raw materials. This will likely increase production costs and working capital requirements. To encourage exports, the government will continue to exempt them from GST. Yet whereas the current system allows exporters to claim an exemption at the point of transaction, under GST they would first have to pay the taxes and then seek a refund of the taxes paid. Exporters are worried that refunds could take a long time to materialize, increasing their cash crunch. Indeed
