Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act
GST Law and Procedure – GST Law and Procedure [January, 2019]
GST
Chapter Twenty One
\nIntegrated Goods and Services Tax Act
\nThe introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a significant reform in the field of indirect taxes in our country. Multiple taxes levied and collected by the Centre and states would be replaced by one tax called Goods and Services Tax (GST). GST is a multi-stage value added tax on consumption of goods or services or both.
\n2. A “dual GST” model has been adopted in view of the federal structure of our country. Centre and States will simultaneously levy GST on every supply of goods or services or both which takes place within a State or Union territory. Thus, there shall be two components of GST as under: –
\ni. Central tax (CGST):
\n (levied & collected under the authority of CGST Act, 2017 passed by the Parliament)
\nii. State tax (SGST)

\n4. The CST suffers from following shortcomings:
\ni. CST is collected and retained by the origin state, which is an aberration. Any indirect tax, by definition is a consumption tax, the incidence of which is borne by the consumer. Logically, the tax should accrue to the destination state having jurisdiction over such consumer.
\nii. Input Tax Credit (ITC) of CST is not allowed to the buyer which results in cascading of tax (tax on tax) in the supply chain.
\niii. Various accountal forms are required to be filed in CST viz., C Form, E1, E2, F, I, J Forms etc. which adds to the compliance cost of the business and impedes the free flow of trade.
\niv. Another negative feature of CST is the opportunity it provides for “arbitrage” because of the huge difference between tax rates under VAT and CST being levied on intra-State sales and inter-State sales respectively
\n5. The IGST model would remove all these deficiencies. IGST is a mech<\/p>\n

\nThe IGST payment can be done by utilizing ITC. The amount of ITC on account of IGST is allowed to be utilized towards payment of IGST, CGST and SGST in that order.
\n8. Nature of Supply
\nIt is very important to determine the nature of supply – whether it is inter-state or intra state, as the kind of tax to be paid (IGST or CGST+SGST) depends on that.
\ni. Inter- state Supply:
\nSubject to place of supply provisions, where the location of the supplier and the place of supply are in
\na) two different States;
\na) two different Union territories; or
\na) a State and a Union territory,
\nSuch supplies shall be treated as a supply of goods or services in the course of inter-State trade or commerce.
\nAny supply of goods or services in the taxable territory, not being an intra-State supply shall be deemed to be a supply of goods or services in the course of inter-State trade or commerce. Supplies to or by SEZ are defined as inter-State sup<\/p>\n

\n * Any other supply in the taxable territory which is not intra state supply
\nThus, the nature of the supply depends on the location of the supplier and the place of supply. Both these terms have been defined in the IGST Act.
\n9. Location of Supplier broadly is the registered place of business or the fixed establishment of the supplier from where the supply is made. Sometime, a service provider has to go to client location for providing service. However, such place would not be considered as the location of supplier. It has to be either regular place of business or fixed establishment which is having sufficient degree of permanence and suitable structure in terms of human and technical resources.
\n10. Place of supply
