INTRODUCTION

SMARK ASSOCIATES

Meaning of Goods and Service Tax (GST)


Clauses 366 (12A) of the constitution bill defines GST as “goods and service tax” means any tax on
supply of goods or services or both except taxes on the supply of the liquor for human consumption.
Further the clause 366(26A) of the bill services means anything other than goods.

Purpose of GST:
1. Single umbrella tax rate
2. Removing cascading effect

Types of goods and service tax in India:


• CGST (Central goods and service tax): GST to be levied by the center.
• SGST (State goods and service tax): The GST is to be levied by the states GST (SGST).
• IGST (Integrated goods and service tax): IGST will be levied by the center and the state
concurrently.

Thus it can be said that GST is a comprehensive tax levy on manufacture, sale and consumption of
goods and services at a national level. The proposed tax will be levied on all transactions involving
supply of goods and services, except those which are kept out of its preview.

GST rate in India at glance:


• Exempted categories : 0%
• Commonly used goods and services : 5%
st
• Standard goods and services fall under 1 slab: 12%
nd
• Standard goods and services fall under 2 slab: 18%
• Special category of goods and services including luxury goods:28%

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Before we proceed with the finer nuances of Indian GST, let us first understand the basic concept of
GST

• GST is a value added tax levied on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and services

• GST offers comprehensive and continuous chain of tax credits from the
producer's point/service provider's point upto the retailer's level/consumer’s
level there by taxing only the value added at each stage of supply chain.

• Since, only the value added at each stage is


taxed under GST, there is no tax on tax or
cascading of taxes under GST system. GST
does not differentiate between goods and
services and thus, the two are taxed at a single
rate.

• The supplier at each stage is permitted to avail


credit of GST paid on the purchase of goods
and/or services and can set off thiscredit against
the GST payable on the supply of goods and
services to be made by him. Thus, only the final
consumer bears the GST charged by the last
supplier in the supply chain, with set-off
benefits at all the previous stages.

RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation of sales, purchase etc.


How to do GST Reconciliation?
To start with, Reconciliation must be done within the GSTIN and then must be taken to
the PAN level. Reconciliation must be done across months for the entire FY 2017-18
not justthat,but the amendments made to GST returns of FY 2017-18 in the CY 2018-
19 must also be considered.
Input tax credit (ITC) is the most important component of your GST returns as it holds
greater relevance when compared to any other component of the GST returns. The
stage at which the sanctity of claims were checked in the previous tax regime is no
longer the same as the current GST regime. The genuineness can be confirmed by a
taxpayer now at a stage of filing GST returns( vis-a-vis with GSTR-2A & take action).
Earlier, tax authorities usually carry out this check while processing the returns.
Hence, the vendor-wise reconciliation must be done on a regular basis. If not done,
taxpayer must consider doing it before filing September 2018 GST returns. This will
help identify and declare any unclaimed ITC within the deadline.

● Reconcile transitional ITC


● Claim ITC belonging to FY 2017-18, if not claimed earlier or
reverse the ineligible ITC, if not identified and done earlier.
● Match Table of exports at 6A of GSTR-1 vis-a-vis Corresponding
declaration in GSTR-3B
● Matching Table of exports at 6A of GSTR-1 vis-a-vis details of
shipping bills submitted on ICEGATE

● Comparing Purchase register vis-a-vis GSTR-2A for the entire year 2017-18

● Compare GSTR-1 vis-a-vis GSTR-3B

● To Compare the ITC in GSTR-3B vis-a-vis GSTR 2A for the entire year 2017-18

● Comparision between annual income tax return with annual GST return declatiaron
of turnover from business ( at PAN level)
To Compare the ITC in GSTR-3B vis-a-vis GSTR 2A for the entire year 2017- 18

16
E-WAY BILL
E-Way Bill under GST

A waybill is a receipt or a document generated by the supplier or recipient of the goods by


giving the details relating to movement of goods like name of supplier, recipient, the point of
origin of the consignment, its destination, and route. Electronic Way Bill (E-Way Bill) is
basically a compliance mechanism wherein by way of a digital interface the person causing
the movement of goods uploads the relevant information prior to the commencement of
movement of goods and generates e-way bill on the GST portal. Rule 138 of the CGST Rules,
2017 provides for the e-way bill mechanism and in this context it is important to note that
“information is to be furnished prior to the commencement of movement of goods” and “is to
be issued whether the movement is in relation to a supply or for reasons other than supply”.

E-way bill is an electronic document generated on the GST portal evidencing movement of
goods. It has two Components-Part A comprising of details of GSTIN of recipient, place of
delivery (PIN Code), invoice or challan number and date, value of goods, HSN code, transport
document number (Goods Receipt Number or Railway Receipt Number or Airway Bill Number
or Bill of Lading Number) and reasons for transportation; and Part B comprising of transporter
details (Vehicle number). As per Rule 138 of the CGST Rules, 2017,every registered person who
causes movement of goods (which may not necessarily be on account of supply) of consignment
value more than Rs. 50000/- is required to furnish above mentioned information in part A of e-
way bill. The part B containing transport details helps in generation of e-way bill.

17
RETURNS

GSTR3B, GSTR1

GSTReturn
A return is a document containing details of income which a taxpayer is required to file with the tax
administrative authorities. This is used by tax authorities to calculate tax liability.
Under GST, a registered dealer has to file GST returns that include:
● Purchases

● Output GST (On sales)
● Input tax credit (GST paid on purchases)

GSTR 1
The details of outward supplies are required to be furnished, electronically, in
Form GSTR-1. Such details can be furnished through the common portal, either
directly or from a notified Facilitation Centre.

any time between 1st and 10th day of the succeeding month. It may be noted that
th th
GSTR-1 cannot be filed during the period from 11 day to 15 day of month

th
services. GSTR-3 is to be filed by 20 day of the month
succeeding the relevant calendar month or part thereof.

by the registered persons who are required to file GSTR-3. Presently, the due date of
th
submission for GSTR-3B is being notified as 20 day of the month succeeding the
relevant month.
GSTR-3B can be submitted electronically through the common portal, either directly or
through a notified Facilitation Centre

INPUT TAX CREDIT

Sec16(1),16(2),sec(17), sec(18)
The GST regime promises seamless credit on goods and services across the
entire supply chain with some exceptions like supplies charged to tax under
composition scheme and supply of exempted goods and/or services. ITC is
considered to be the backbone of the GST regime. In fact, it is the provisions
of ITC which essentially make GST a value added tax i.e., collection of tax
at all points of supply chain after allowing credit of tax paid at earlier points.

Provisions of ITC under CGST Act have also been made

REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM

REVERSE CHARGE is a mechanism where the recipient of the goods and/or services is liable
to pay GST instead of the supplier .In general the responsibility to pay tax under indirect
taxation rests with the service provider or the seller this is called forward charge, on the other
hand the Law sometimes shifts the responsibility to pay tax on the shoulders of the service
recipient or buyer thereof this is called reverse charge.

TWO TYPES OF REVERSE CHARGE SCENARIOS IN GST LAW:


● First is dependent on the nature of supply and/or nature of supplier. This scenario is
covered by section 9 (3) of the CGST/ SGST (UTGST) Act and section 5 (3) of the
IGSTAct, 2017.
● Second scenario is covered by section 9 (4) of the CGST/SGST (UTGST) Act and

PLACE OF SUPPLY

Sec10,sec11,sec12,sec13

The concept of place of supply is highly relevant in the context of determination of where the
supply has taken place. As enumerated in the earlier paragraphs, whether a transaction of supply
of goods or services is leviable to tax in India or not depends on the place where the supply has
took place. As per Section 7 read with Section 9 of the CGST/SGST Act, a supply shall be
taxable in India only when its place of supply is within the taxable territory. Once it is identified
that a supply took place within the taxable territory then it needs to be determined whether it is a
intra state supply or interstate supply based on the provisions contained in this regard.

OBSERVATIONS

GST is a win-win situation for the entire country. It brings benefits to all the stakeholders of industry,
Government and the consumer. It will lower the cost of goods and services, give a boost to the
economy and make the products and services globally competitive
● Creation of unified national market: GST aims to make India a common market with
common tax rates and procedures and remove the economic barriers thus paving the way for
an integrated economy at the NATIONAL LEVEL .
● MITIGATION OF ILL EFECTS OF CASCADING : By summing most of the central and
state taxes into a single tax by allowing a set off of prior – stage taxes for transactions across
the entire value chain , it would mitigate the ill effects of cascading, improve
competitiveness and improve liquidity of the businesses

● Elimination of multiple taxes and double taxation: GST has subsumed majority of existing
indirect tax levies both at Central and State level into one tax i.e., GST which is leviable
uniformly on goods and services. This will make doing business easier and will also tackle
the highly disputed issues relating to double taxation of a transaction as both goods and
services

● Boost to ‘Make in India' initiative: GST will give a major boost to the ‘Make
in India' initiative of the Government of India by making goods and services
produced in India competitive in the national as well as international market.
● Buoyancy to the Government Revenue: GST is expected to bring buoyancy to
the Government Revenue by widening the tax base and improving the
taxpayer compliance.
● Since introduction there were many amendments
