What is HSN Code. In FAQ issued by cbec on 31/03/2017 it is said that a person whose turnover is upto ₹ 1.50 crore need not mention any HSN Code. A supplier having turnover between 1.50 Crore and 5 Crore will mention 2 digit HSN Code and with turnover more than 5 Crore 4 digit HSN Code will be mentioned.
My query is that in the HSN Code list we find two digit code as Chapter and 6 digit or 8 digit codes for products. Pl clarify.

* Alternatively, the principal manufacturer who has supplied the goods for job work may furnish a declaration under Notification No. 214/86 dated 25.03.1986 (which exempts goods manufactured by a job worker from the duty of excise) based on which job worker would not be required to charge duty of excise.
* The goods must be used in the manufacturing process by the principal manufacturer which should result in a dutiable product being manufactured on which duty of excise is being charged.

Certain inclusions in the valuation are as follows:
(i) Any taxes, duties, cesses, fees and charges levied under any statute, other than SGST/UTGST/CGST/IGST.
(ii) Any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply but which has been incurred by the recipient of the supply and not included in the price actually paid or payable for the services.
(iii) Incidental expenses.
(iv) Interest or late fee or penalty for late payment of any consideration of supply.
(v) Subsidies directly linked to the price excluding subsidies provided by the Central and State Governments.
However, transaction value will exclude discount, if any. P

Valuation Rules
* Value of supply of goods or services where the consideration is not wholly in money, value of supply shall-
* be the open market value of such supply,
* if the open market value is not available, be the sum total of consideration in money and any such further amount in money as is equivalent to the consideration not in money if such amount is known at the time of supply,
* if the value of supply is not determinable under clause (a) or clause (b), be the value of supply of goods or services or both of like kind and quality;
* if the value is not determinable under clause (a) or clause (b) or clause (c), be the sum total of consideration in money and such further amount of money that is equivalent to consideration not in money.
* The value of the supply of goods or services or both between distinct persons or where the supplier and recipient are related, other than where the su

* he is in possession of a tax invoice or debit note issued by a supplier registered under this Act, or such other tax-paying documents as may be prescribed.
he has received the goods or services or both. However, in the case of job work, the principal shall be entitled to take credit of input tax on inputs or capital goods even if the inputs or capital goods are directly sent to a job worker for job-work without being first brought to his place of business.
the tax charged in respect of such supply has been actually paid to the Government, either in cash or through utilization of input tax credit admissible in respect of the said supply, and
he has furnished the return under section 39, i.e., combined return of outward and inward supplies

ll be sent to the job worker under the cover of a challan issued by the principal, including where the inputs or capital goods are sent directly to job worker.
The challan issued by the principal to the job worker shall contain the details specified in rule Invoice 8, as under-
* date and number of the delivery challan,
* name, address, and GSTIN of the consigner, if registered,
* name, address, and GSTIN or UIN of the consignee, if registered,
* HSN code and description of goods,
* quantity (provisional, where the exact quantity being supplied is not known),
* taxable value,

If the mismatch is not rectified by the vendor in the month of communication, the recipient will be liable to pay the differential GST along with interest in the subsequent month. This provision places the liability for non-compliance 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-wis

vailability of the invoice, accordingly credit can be availed.
* If a manufacturer is not availing the credit of VAT currently due to restriction in the state VAT law or due to being in the composition scheme, then the credit can be availed based on the ascertainment 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.

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?

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.

SERVICES UNDER REVERSE CHARGE UNDER GST REGIME
By: – DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 26-5-2017

The concept of reverse charge was introduced in the service tax regime vide Notification No. 30/2012, dated 20.06.2012 and came into effect from 20.06.2012.
Under reverse charge, the recipient of service is to pay the tax to the credit of the Central Government. The reverse charge is of two types – Full reverse charge and partial reverse charge. Under the full reverse charge, the service recipient is to pay 100% of the tax on the value of services received by him. Under partial reverse charge, the service recipient is to pay certain percentage of tax on the value of taxable service and the balance amount is to be payable by the service provider.
The Notification No. 30/2012 has met many amendments and as on date the following services come under the net of reverse charge mechanism-
* in respect of services provided or agreed to be provided by

V of Finance Act, 1994 applies the reverse charge only to the services received by the recipient of services. But the GST Act makes the reverse charge applicable to both services and goods.
The provisions of the Act and the rules made there under applicable to the service provider are also applicable to the service recipient under reverse charge mechanism. In this Act it is provided that the service recipient, who receives services or goods from the unregistered person, is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism and for this purpose he is to raise an invoice.
Services coming under Reverse charge under GST
Under the provisions of GST there is no partial reverse charge mechanism. The GST Council in its 14th Council meeting held on 19.05.2017 approved the list of services coming under reverse change mechanism. Nearly 12 services are coming under reverse charge mechanism.

Dear Experts,
We are manufacturing dutiable as well as exempted products and taking Cenvat credit on those input only who related to dutiable products.
My question is can we take Input tax credit under GST on those input also who related to our exempted products ?
if yes, then should we take this credit on 30th June before GST implementation or 1st July after GST implementation ?
Please mention specific rule if any related to this situation.

No credit is eligible if same is not reflected in your return. last return say June. please check your product is still covered under non-taxable supplies. than no meaning of doing such Exercise.
This is my personal view.
