After 29th March, 2017, 6th April, 2017 became a historic day in the journey of GST when Rajya Sabha easily passed the GST Bills after a day long debate. It is important to note that despite an eight hour long debate, Rajya Sabha did not recommend any change in the GST Bills. Perhaps, opposition parties and Congress in Particular, realized that being a Money Bill, they had not much to do. So better, be a party to the winning game rather than the party spoiler. Moreover, nation is watching the developments and Congress's approach on GST in Rajya Sabha could be just a beginning of damage control exercis

Now that all GST related Bills (CGST, UTGST, IGST Bills and State Compensation Bill) have been passed by both houses of Parliament, the focus now shifts to States. All 31 States including Delhi and Pondicherry have to pass the SGST Bill in their respective State legislative assemblies. It is hoped that they will do it sooner or later but sooner is better.
Though no deadline has been given to States, it is expected that they should pass the SGST Bill on ASAP basis by convening a special session. As of now, no State has passed the SGST Bill.

Tax on sale or purchase of goods within a State as per Entry List II of Seventh Schedule of the Constitution is a State subject, and accordingly, VAT was been introduced by the concerned States, in place of turnover taxes. The introduction of VAT ensured that credit of taxes paid on the inputs were available to a tax payer while discharging his output tax liability. This helped in minimizing cascading of taxes at the State level and in increasing compliance because of the in-built mechanism of transfer of input tax credit. VAT led to a simplification of taxes at the State level.
Presently, the

ndustry. Firstly, there is no uniformity of tax rates and structure across States. Secondly, there is cascading of taxes due to 'tax on tax'. No credit of excise duty and service tax paid at the stage of manufacture is available to the traders while paying the State level sales tax or VAT, and vice-versa. Further, no credit of State taxes paid in one State can be availed in other States. Hence, the prices of goods and services get artificially inflated to the extent of this 'tax on tax'.
The introduction of GST would mark a clear departure from the scheme of distribution of fiscal powers envisaged in the Constitution. The proposed dual GST envisages taxation of the same taxable event, i.e., supply of goods and services, simultaneously by b

Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 11-4-2017

Here, we like highlight the ambiguity between the provisions of the statute and intention of the legislature relating to Registration under the GST regime.
As we know unlike the Service Tax or Central Excise regime, in the GST regime, a person once registered, will be liable to discharge GST liability irrespective of the turnover.
Therefore, the question arises, when the turnover of a person was much below Rs. 20 lakhs (or ₹ 10 lakhs as the case may be), but since he was registered under the existing law (i.e excise, service tax or vat etc.), whether he would be eligible to avail the benefit of exemption from the GST on the basis of turnover?

(a) the business has been discontinued, transferred fully for any reason including death of the proprietor, amalgamated with other legal entity, demerged or otherwise disposed of; or
(b) there is any change in the constitution of the business; or
(c) the taxable person, other than the person registered under sub-section (3) of section 25, is no longer liable to be registered under section 22 or section 24.
As per the provisions of Section 25(3), a person, though not liable to be registered under section 22 or section 24 may get himself registered voluntarily.
Therefore, a person who is registered under the existing laws (i.e. central excise, service tax, VAT etc.) is required to obtain without any option since it is not voluntary by virtue of section 22(2) as above.
However, as per the all the information and statements from the Central Government, the persons who has turnover upto 20 lakhs will be out of GST.
Therefore, it is absolute necessary that Central Government must

Prima facie the migration should be automatic and system based than asking the assessee to meddle with original pan name or aadhar card telephone links. Next, the system should migrate those persons only whose turnover was above 20 lacs, as per the periodical returns filed by the assessees hitherto. This will prove that the e-sytems of Excise, Serv Tax and VAT have been effectively functional as of now.
Complications will initially be there when there is "one India and Four Taxes, instead of one Tax." Lets hope the clouds disappea

Whenever there is flaw in the law, benefit goes to the assessee. There is judgement of Supreme Court in this context. Assessees whose turnover is below ₹ 20 lakhs, should not suffer at all. Why they should apply for registration ? On being pointed out by Chief Editor, TMI, this flaw in the law would come to the notice of Board and hope flaw would be removed before 1.7.17.

Dear Sir,
Earlier definition of work contract service is : works contract” means a contract wherein transfer of property in goods involved in the execution of such contract is leviable to tax as sale of goods and such contract is for the purpose of carrying out construction, erection, commissioning, installation, completion, fitting out, repair, maintenance, renovation, alteration of any movable or immovable property or for carrying out any other similar activity or a part thereof in relation to such property.

Since movable property is not included in the definition of works contract, in respect of movable properties supply of spare parts will be treated as supply of goods and the service portion will be treated as supply of service. This is my opinion.

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister has approved the Integrated GST, Central GST, Union Territory GST and GST Compensation bills on March 20, 2017. These four bills will now have to be passed by the Parliament. It is expected that the bills will be introduced in the Parliament early next week as a 'money bill' (note that the Rajya Sabha does not have the power to amend or reject money bills and is required to return it to the Lok Sabha within 14 days). Should the July 1, 2017 target for the introduction of GST in India be met, the Parliament will have to pass these bills before the end of the budget session (on April 12, 2017).

vided, unlike in the present service tax law. Various industries (such as telecom, insurance, banking, IT etc.) along with Government departments voiced concerns over how a decentralised registration system of registration and assessment would prove to be a compliance nightmare for the service sector. For instance, today an insurance company hold a single centralised service tax registration and filed two returns annually. Under GST, an insurance company will have to obtain registration in every State where it provides insurance services, and file thirty seven returns per State annually. Considering these representations, the GST Council is deliberating on the proposal of centralized assessment interface for such service industries. This will potentially reduce the compliance burden on taxpayers operating in these industries.
