on the recipient, i.e., job worker, as against their vendors. Similar provisions have been prescribed wherein details of credit notes issued by a supplier have to match with the corresponding reduction of input tax credit claimed by the recipient. Accordingly, if the recipient does not adjust the input tax credit, the tax and interest would be recovered from the supplier. This provision places liability on tax-payers for non-compliance by vendors. Input Service Distributor (ISD) Concept As in the present Cenvat Credit Rules, ISD concept is proposed for transfer of credit of input services between two or more locations. ISD can transfer credit of all types of GST (CSGT, SGST/UTGST or IGST). Considering the possibility of multiple registrations State-wise, ISD could be used as a tool to ensure optimal utilization of head office-related input tax credits (of input services), resulting in an effective reduction in cost.

nment of stock as on appointed day. However, if the credit of VAT is being currently availed, the same should be properly reflected in the last VAT/Service Tax returns to transfer such credits to the GST regime. The principal might have sent inputs, semi-finished goods and finish goods outside before appointed date (as of now it is 1st of July, 2017) for job work or testing. If these are received back before 6 months (i.e., 31st December 2017), GST will not be payable. Specific Issues Treatment of Scrap / Waste The waste and scrap generated during the job work can be supplied by the job worker directly from his place of business, on payment of tax, if he is registered. If he is not registered, the same would be supplied by the principal on payment of tax.

Reply By V Inamdar – The Reply = Dear Sir, Although you have suggested that principal need not to follow special job work procedure, instead he should sed inputs on payment of GST to job worker and in-turn after processing of goods job worker will return the goods on payment of GST. Though logically the above suggestion / clarification made by Government in FAQ – answer to Q-15 of Chapter 9, is correct, but it is not backed by provisions of GST. For example, the above is not fitting into the definition of term supply read with Sch.1 and 2 of CGST. Can you please through light on this?

After GST regime, telecom companies would be required to re-work their costing and credits availability and re-jig their prices and ensure that the increased availability of credit is passed on to the customers by lowering their costs

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 26-5-2017 – Telecommunication services presently attract Service Tax of 14% along with Swachh Bharat Cess (SBC) of 0.5% and Krishi Kalyan Cess (KKC) of 0.5%. While Service Tax is a pure value added tax, the above mentioned cesses are not. This is the reason that while no ITC (Input Tax Credit) of SBC is available, the ITC of KKC is allowed to be set-off only against KKC. Therefore, both the cesses are turn-over tax. As against the above, the Telecommunication Services will attract GST of 18% in the GST regime, which is a pure Value Added Tax because full ITC of Inputs and Input Services used in the course or furtherance of business by the telecommunication service providers would be available.
