CHANGES IN SCHEDULE IV AND SCHEDULE V OF REVISED GST DRAFT LAW
\nWe have till now discussed the definition of supply along with provisions described in schedule I, schedule II and schedule III, and in this update, we will discuss the changes and consequences in schedule IV and V.
\nSchedule IV:- In the previous GST Law, Schedule IV specified the activities or transactions in respect of which the Central Government, a State Government or any Local Authority shall not be regarded as a taxable person. However, in the revised GST Law, Schedule IV specified activities or transactions undertaken by the Central Government, State Government or any local authority which shall be treated neither as supply of goods nor supply of services. Although, the heading of the Schedule has been changed but it does not has significant impact with the only differenc<\/p>\n

For non special category the registration limit is as mentioned in above points and for the special category states the limit is ten lakh rupees. The government in earlier GST draft had explicitly specified that for the NE states including Sikkim the registration limit shall be four lakh rupees, but in new GST draft law though the limit for special category states has been increased but it is nowhere mentioned that special category states shall be North Eastern states including Sikkim. Hence, in future there is a possibility that government may specify a new list of states for this threshold limit. = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n Plain text (Extract) only<\/strong> = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CHANGES IN SCHEDULE IV AND SCHEDULE V OF REVISED GST DRAFT LAWBy: – Pradeep JainGoods and Services Tax – GSTDated:- 15-12-2016 CHANGES IN SCHEDULE IV AND SCHEDULE V OF REVISED GST DRAFT LAW We have till now discussed the definition of supply along with provisions described in schedule I, schedule II and schedule III, and … Continue reading “CHANGES IN SCHEDULE IV AND SCHEDULE V OF REVISED GST DRAFT LAW”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
