TAXABLE SUPPLY / EXEMPTED SUPPLY???


Particulars Description
Registration required A person is required to obtain registration with respect to his each place of
only for a place of business in India from where a taxable supply has taken place. However, a
business from where supplier is not liable to obtain registration in a State/UT from where he
taxable supply takes makes an exempt/non-taxable supply.
place
Example Mishra Enterprises is engaged in supply of taxable goods in Maharashtra. It
also suppliesalcoholic liquor for human consumption from Nagaland. Its
turnover in the current financial year isRs. 34lakhs in Maharashtra andRs. 8
lakhs in Nagaland. Since Mishra Enterprises is exclusively engaged in
making taxable supplies of goods from Maharashtra, the applicable
threshold limit for obtaining registration is Rs. 40lakhs. However, the
threshold limit will not be reduced to Rs. 10 lakh in this case, as supply of
alcoholic liquorfor human consumption from Nagaland (one of the Special
Category States) are non-taxable supplies.
In the given case, since the aggregate turnover of Mishra Enterprises
exceeds the applicable threshold limitofRs. 40 lakh, it is liable to obtain
registration. It will obtain registration in Maharashtra, but is not required
toobtain registration in Nagaland as he is not making any taxable supplies
from said State.

- AGENT / further, taking the help of 4 different scenarios [discussed in detail in the
OTHERWISE - Chapter - Supply under GST]. Scenario 4 in said circular is as follows :
Mr. A sells agricultural produce by utilizing the services of Mr. B who is a
commissionagent as per the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee Act
(APMC Act) of theState. Mr. B identifies the buyers and sells the agricultural
produce on behalf of Mr. Afor which he charges a commission from Mr. A.
As per the APMC Act, the commission agent is a person who buys or sells
theagricultural produce on behalf of his principal, or facilitates buying and
selling ofagricultural produce on behalf of his principal and receives, by way of
remuneration, acommission or percentage upon the amount involved in such
transaction. In caseswhere the invoice is issued by Mr. B to the buyer, the
former is an agent covered underPara 3. of Schedule I.
However, in cases where the invoice is issued directly by Mr. A to the buyer,
thecommission agent (Mr.B) doesn't fall under the category of agent covered
under Para 3.Since services by any APMC/board/services provided by the
commission agents forsale or purchase of agricultural produce are exempt from

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

GST, such commission agents(even when they qualify as agent under Schedule
I) are not liable to be registered inaccordance with provisions of section 23(1)(a).
Further, according to section 24(vii), a person is liable for mandatory
registration if hemakes taxable supply of goods or services or both on behalf of
other taxable persons.Accordingly, the requirement of compulsory registration
for commission agent, underthe said clause shall arise when both the following
conditions are satisfied, namely:
a) the principal should be a taxable person; and
b) the supplies made by the commission agent should be taxable.
Generally, a commission agent under APMC Act makes supplies on behalf of
anagriculturist. As per provisions of section 23(1)(b), an agriculturist who
suppliesproduce out of cultivation of land is not liable for registration and
therefore does notfall within the ambit of the term 'taxable person'.
Thus, a commission agent who is making supplies on behalf of such an
agriculturist- not a taxable person - is not liable for compulsory registration u/
s 24(vii). However,where a commission agent is liable to pay tax under
reverse charge, such an agentwill be required to get registered compulsorily
u/s 24(iii) of the CGST Act.

QUESTIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING


1. Raghav of Assam is exclusively engaged in intra – state supply of ready made garments. Its
turnover in the current FY from Assam showroom is Rs. 28 lakh. It has another showroom in
Tripura with a turnover of Rs. 11 lakh in the current FY.
Solution:
Since Raghav is engaged in supplying garments from a Special Category State, the applicable threshold limit
for him gets reduced to Rs. 10 lakh. Further, Raghav is liable to get registered under GST in both Assam and
Tripura on his aggregate turnover crossing the threshold limit of Rs. 10 lakh.

2. Mr. A of Rajasthan has effected following supplies within the State of Rajasthan. You are
required to determine whether he is required to obtain registration under GST Law.

Total Value of supplies 20,50,000

Working Note:
1) An agriculturist is not liable to obtain registration under the Act to the extent of supply of produce out of
cultivation of land. Since, Mr. A is engaged in supply of other goods and services also, he is not covered
u/s 23. In such a case aggregate turnover will include all supplies made by him including supply of
agricultural produce.
2) Intra – state supply of goods which are wholly exempt from GST u/s 11 of CGST Act, 2017 is to be
included since the same is specifically included in the definition of aggregate turnver.
3) Intra – state supply of goods chargeable with GST @ 5% is specifically included for determination of
aggregate turnover.
4) Intra – state supply of services through exempt from tax is specifically included in the definition of
aggregate turnover.
Since he is angaged in intra state supply of both goods and services from Rajasthan, the applicable threshold
limit for registration will be Rs. 20 lakh.

Since the aggregate turnover exceeds Rs. 20,00,000, hence Mr. A is required to obtain registration under
GST law.

3. From the following information you are required to determine whether XYZ Ltd incorporated in
Rajasthan is liable to be registered under GST Law if the Company has effected following
supplies within the state of Rajasthan.
No. Particulars Amount
1 Intra-State supply of goods chargeable with GST @ 5% 15,51,000

3 Interest received from FD made with Bank of Rajasthan 1,00,000
4 Intra-State supply of goods chargeable with 18% GST 50,000
4 Intra - state supply of goods chargeable with Nil Rate 18,50,000

Solution:

Section 22(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with NN 10 / 2019 – CT dated 07-03-2019 inter alia providesthat
every supplier who is engaged in intra – state exclusive supply of goods is liable to be registered under GST
in the State / UT from where he makes the taxable supply of goods only when aggregate turnover in a FY
exceeds Rs. 40,00,000.

Since XYZ Ltd. is exclusively engaged in making intra – state taxable supplies of goods from Rajasthan, the
applicable threshold limit for obtaining registration is Rs. 40 lakhs as specified in NN 10/2019 – CT dated 07-
03-2019.

XYZ Ltd. shall be considered to be engaged exclusively in the supply of goods even if it is engaged in exempt
supply of services provided by way of extending deposits, loans or advances in so far as the consideration is
represented by way of interest or discount. Hence, the threshold limit of registration shall not be reduced to
Rs. 20 lakh.

According to Section 2(6) of CGST Act, 2017 ‚Aggregate Turnover‛ means the aggregate value of all taxable
supplies (excluding the value of inward supplies on which tax is payable by a person on reverse charge basis),
exempt supplies, export of goods or services or both and inter – state supplies of persons having the same
PAN, to be computed on all India basis but excludes central tax, State tax, UT tax, integrated tax and cess.

GST [CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION]
Thus, in this case since aggregate turnover of the company exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs, it is liable to get registered
under GST law.

Working note:

1) Intra – state supply of goods chargeable with GST @ 5% is specifically included for determination of
aggregate turnover.
2) Intra – state supply of goods which are wholly exempt from GST u/s 11 of CGST Act, 2017 is to be
included for determination of aggregate turnover.
3) Intra – state supply of goods chargeable with GST @ 18% is specifically included for determination of
aggregate turnover.
4) Intra – state supply of goods chargeable with Nil rate of GST is covered under exempt supplies, hence it
is to be included in computation of aggregate turnover.
5) Services by way of extending deposits, loans or advances in so far as the consideration is represented by
way of inerest or discount (other than interest involved in credit card services) is exempt vide NN
12/2017 – CT (R) dated 28-06-2017 Since aggregate turnover includes exempt supply, interest received
from banks on the FDs, being exempt supply, is included in the aggregate turnover.

4. SNP Pvt. Ltd., Coimbatore exclusively manufactures and sells product 'X' which is exempt from
GST vide notification issued under relevant GST legislation, The Company sells 'X' only within
Tamil Nadu. The turnover of the company in the previous year was Rs 45 lakh. The company
expects the sales to grow by 30% in the current year. The Company purchased additional
machinery for manufacturing ‘X’ on 01-07-2019. The purchase price of the capital goods was Rs
30 lakh exclusive of GST @ 18%.
However, effective from 01-11-2019, exemption available on 'X'was withdrawn by the Central
Government and GST @ 12% was imposed thereon. The turnover of the company for the half
year ended on 30-09-2019 was Rs 45 lakh.

Examine the above scenario and advice SNP Pvt. Ltd. whether it needs to get register under GST.
If the answer to the above question is in affirmative, advice SNP Pvt. Ltd. whether it can avail
ITC on additional machinery purchased exclusively for manufacturing ‘X’?

Solution:
Case Explanation
a. Registration Section 22(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10 / 2019 - CT dated
requirements: 07.03.2019 inter alia provides that every supplier who is engaged in Intrastate exclusive
supply of goods is liable to be registered under the GST in the State / UT from where he
makes the taxable supply of goods when the aggregate turnover for the FY exceeds Rs.
40,00,000.

 Howver the above provisions are not applicable to few specified states i.e States of
Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry,
Sikkim, Telegana, Tripura, Uttarakhand. Futher a person exclusively engaged in the
business of supplying goods and / or services that are not liable to tax or are wholly
exempt from tax is not liable to registration in terms of section 23(1)(a) of CGST

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

Act, 2017
 In the given case, the turnover of the company for the half year ended on 30-09-2019
is Rs 45 lakh which is more than the threshold limit of the Rs. 40 lakh. Therefore as
per above mentioned provisions, the company should be liable to registration.
However, since SNP Pvt. Ltd. supplied exempted goods till 31.10.2019, it was not
required to be registered till that day though voluntary registration was allowed
under Section 25 (3) of the CGST Act, 2017.
 However, the position will change from 01-11-2019 as the supply of goods become
taxable from that day and the turnover of company is above Rs40 lakh. It is
important to note here that in terms of Section 2 (6) of the CGST Act, 2017 the
aggregate turnover limit of Rs 40 lakh includes exempt turnover also.
 Therefore, turnover of'X'will be considered for determining the limit of Rs 40 lakh
even though the same was exempt from GST. Therefore, the company needs to
register within 30 days from 01-11-2019 (the date onwhich it becomes liable to
registration) in terms of Section 25 (1) of the CGST Act, 2017.

b. Input tax Section 18(1)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that a person who has applied for
credit eligibility registration within 30 days from the date on which he becomes liable to registration and
has been granted such registration shall be entitled to take credit on input tax in respect
of inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi finished goods or finished goods
held in stock on the day immediately preceeding the date on which he becomes liable to
pay tax under the provisions of this Act. Thus SNP Pvt Ltd. cannot avail credit for
additional machinery exclusively for manufacturing as input tax credit of only inputs is
allowed when a person gets registered for the first time.

GST [CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION]
Solution:
Registration provisions: As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017, a supplier is liable to be registered in
the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods or services or both, if his aggregate
turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs 20 lakh.

 However, if such taxable supplies are made from any of the specified special category states, namely,
states of Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, he shall be liable to be registered if his aggregate
turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs 10 lakh.
 In the given question, since Rishabh Enterprises is engaged in making taxable supplies from Maharashtra
which is not a specified Special Category State, the threshold limit for obtaining registration is Rs 20
Lakh. It will not get the benefit of higher threshold limit of Rs. 40 lakhs since it is not engaged in
exclusive supply of goods as it is also providing exempt services.
 The threshold limit is not reduced to Rs 10 lakh in this case, as sale of alcoholic liquor for human
consumption from Nagaland (one of the specified Special Category States) are non-taxable supplies in
terms of Section 9 (1) of CGST Act, 2017.
 As per Sec. 2 (6) of the CGST Act, 2017 aggregate turnover includes the aggregate value of-
1. all taxable supplies,
2. all exemptsupplies,
3. exports of goods and/or services and
4. all inter-State supplies of persons having the same PAN.
 The above is computed on all India basis. Further, the aggregate turnover excludes central tax, State tax,
Unionterritory tax, integrated tax and cess. Moreover, the value of inward supplies on which tax is
payable underreverse charge is not taken into account for calculation of'aggregate turnover'.
 In the light of the afore-mentioned provisions, the aggregate turnover of Rishabh Enterprises is computed

Working Notes
1) As per Section 2 (47) of the CGST Act, 2017, exempt supply includes non-taxable supply. Thus,
supply of alcoholic liquor for human consumption in Nagaland, being a non-taxable supply, is an
exempt supply and is, therefore, includible while computing the aggregate-turnover.
2) Supply of wholly exempt services is includible while computing the aggregate turnover.

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

Conclusion:
Rishabh Enterprises was not liable to be registered in the month of February since its aggregate turnover did
not exceed Rs 20 Lakh in that month. However, since its aggregate turnover exceeds Rs 20 Lakhs in the
month of March, it should apply for registration within 30 days from the date on which it becomes liable to
registration.

6. ABC Ltd. of Jaipur, Rajasthan has affected Intra-State supplies of Taxable goods amounting Rs.
38, 00,000 till 31 – 12-2019. On 01-01-2020 it has affected Inter-State supply of Taxable goods
amounting Rs. 1,00,000. ABC Ltd. is of the opinion that it is not required to get registered under
GST Law since its aggregate Turnover is not likely to exceed Rs. 40,00,000 during Financial Year
2019-20. As a consultant of the Company you are required to advise the Company relating to
registration requirements.

Solution:

The opinion of ABC Ltd. is not correct. As per provision of Sec. 24 of CGST Act, 2017, person making inter –
state taxable supply of goods are compulsorily required to obtain registration thus, sec. 24 is an overriding
section that makes it mandatory to obtain registration by certain prescribed persons even though the
condition prescribed u/s 22 are not met. Hence, ABC Ltd. is mandatorily required to obtain registration.

As per provisions of sec. 25 of CGST Act, 2017, every person who is liable to be registered under sec. 22 or
sec. 24 shall apply for registration in every such state or UT in which he is so liable within 30 days from the
date on which he becomes liable to registration, in such manner and subject to such conditions as may be
prescribed. Thus, ABC Ltd. is required to obtain registration upto 31-01-2020.

7. AB Pvt. Ltd., Pune provides house - keeping services. The company supplies its services
exclusively through an e - commerce website owned and managed by Hi - tech Indya Pvt. Ltd.,
Pune. The turnover of AB Pvt. Ltd. in the current FY is Rs. 18 lakh.

Advise AB Pvt. Ltd. as to whether they are required to obtain GST registration. Will your advice
be any different if AB Pvt. Ltd. sells readymade garments exclusively through the e-commerce
website owned and managed by Hi-Tech Indya Pvt. Ltd.?

Solution:

Sec. 24 of the said Act enlists certain categories of persons who are mandatorily required to obtain
registration, irrespective of their turnover. Persons who supply goods or services or both through such ECO,
who is required to collect tax at source u/s 52, is one such person specified u/s 24(ix). However, where the
ECO is liable to pay tax on behalf of the suppliers of services under a notification issued u/s 9(5), the
suppliers of such services are entitled for threshold exemption. Besides this vide Notification No. 65/2017 –
CT dated 15-11-2017, it has been provided that persons who are suppliers of service and supplying services
through ECO are not required to register under GST if their aggregate turnover is less than Rs. 20 lakhs per
annum (Rs. 10 lakh in case of Special Category States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland)

GST [CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION]
Particulars Explanation
E-commerce Sec. 2(45) of the CGST Act defines ECO as any person who owns, operates or
Operator manages digital or electronic facility or platform for electronic commerce.
Electronic commerce is defined u/s 2(44) to mean the supply of goods or services or
both, including digital products over digital or electronic network.
Since, Hi-Tech Indya Pvt. Ltd. owns and manages a website for e - commerce
where both goods and services supplied, it will be classified as an ECO u/s 2(45).
ECO liable for Notification No. 17/2017-CT (R) dated 28-06-2017 issued u/s 9(5) specifies
Registration services by way of house-keeping, except where the person supplying such service
through ECO is liable for registration u/s 22(1), as one such service where the
ECO is liable to pay tax on behalf of the suppliers.
In the given case, AB Pvt. Ltd. provides house-keeping services through an ECO.
It is presumed that Hi-Tech Indya is an ECO which is required to collect tax at
source u/s 52. However, house-keeping services provided by AB Pvt. Ltd., which is
not liable for registration u/s 22(1) as its turnover is less than Rs. 20 lakh, is a
service notified u/s 9(5). Thus, AB Pvt. Ltd. will be entitled for threshold
exemption for registration and will not be required to obtain registration even
though it supplies services through ECO.
Supply of goods In the second case, AB Pvt. Ltd., sells readymade garments through ECO. Such
through ECO – supply cannot be notified u/s 9(5) as only supplies of services are notified under
Supplier liable for that section. Therefore, in the second case, AB Pvt. Ltd., will not be entitled for
Compulsory threshold exemption and will have to compulsorily obtain registration in terms of
Registration sec. 24(ix)

b) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in taxable supply of goods and services only from
Himachal Pradesh;
c) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in taxable supply of goods only from Himachal Pradesh
and has also effected inter-state supplies of taxable goods amounting to Rs. 4,00,000.
Solution:

As per sec. 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with notification no. 10/2019 CT dated 07-03-2019, a supplier is
liable to be registered in the State/UT from where he makes a taxable supply of goods and / or services, if his
aggregate turnover in a FY exceeds the threshold limit. The threshold limit for a person making exclusive
intra-state taxable supplies of goods is as under:-

i. Rs. 10 lakh for the states of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
ii. Rs. 20 lakh for the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana and
Uttarakhand.
iii. Rs. 40 lakh for rest of India.
The threshold limit for a person making exclusive taxable supply of services or supply of both goods and
services is as under:-

i. Rs. 10 lakh for the states of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
ii. Rs. 20 lakh for the rest of India.
Aggregate turnover: As per sec. 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, aggregate turnover includes the aggregate
value of:

i. All taxable supplies,


ii. All exempt supplies,
iii. Export of goods and / or services and
iv. All inter-state supplies of persons having the same PAN.
The above is computed on all India basis.

In the light of the afore-mentioned provisions, the aggregate turnover of Mahadev Enterprises is computed as
under:

Computation of state-wise aggregate turnover:

GST [CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION]
notification no. 12/2017-CT (R) dated 28-06-2017. Since aggregate turnover includes exempt supply,
interest received from banks on FDs, being exempt supply is included in the aggregate turnover.
2) As per sec. 2(47) of the CGST Act, 2017, exempt supply includes non-taxable supply. Thus, intra-state
supply of non-taxable goods in Uttarakhand, being a non-taxable supply, is an exempt supply and is
therefore included in the aggregate turnover.
In the given case, Mahadev Enterprises is engaged in exclusive intra-state supply of goods from Himachal
Pradesh and Uttarakhand and in supply of both goods and exempted services from Tripura, the threshold
limit for registration will be Rs. 40 lakh, Rs. 20 lakh and Rs. 10 lakh respectively.

Further, since Mahadev Enterprises also makes taxable supply of goods from one of the Specified Special
category states (i.e., Tripura) the threshold limit for registration will be reduced to Rs. 10 lakh.

1) Thus, in view of above mentioned provisions Mahadev is liable to be registered under GST law with
the aggregate turnover amounting to Rs. 57,50,000 (computed on all India basis). The applicable
threshold limit of registration in this case is Rs. 10 lakh.
2)
a) If Mahadev is dealing in supply of goods only from Himachal Pradesh, the applicable threshold
limit of registration would be Rs. 40 lakh. Thus, Mahadev will not be liable for registration as its
aggregate turnover would be Rs. 22,50,000
b) If Mahadev is dealing in taxable supply of goods and services only from Himachal Pradesh, then
higher threshold limit of Rs. 40 lakh will not be applicable as the same applies only in case of
exclusive supply of goods. Therefore, in this case, the applicable threshold limit will be Rs. 20 lakh
and hence Mahadev will be liable to registration.
In case of inter-state supplies of taxable goods, sec. 24 of the CGST Act, 2017 requires compulsory
registration irrespective of the quantum of aggregate turnover. Thus, Mahadev will be liable to registration.

voluntary of goods or services or both to registered persons. The reason for the
registration same is that by virtue of section 9(4) of the CGST Act, in case of
supplies of notified goods and services received from unregistered
supplier by registered recipient, recipient has to pay the tax under
reverse charge.
Therefore, business units would prefer receiving supplies from the
registered persons only. Thus, voluntary registration enables a
supplier of goods or services or both to enhance its B2B transactions.

18. Examine whether the supplier is liable to get registered in the following independent
cases:
a) Raghav of Assam is exclusively engaged in intra - state taxable supply of
readymade garments. His turnover in the current financial year (FY) from Assam
showroom is Rs. 28 lakh. He has another showroom in Tripura with a turnover of
Rs. 11 lakh in the current FY.
b) Pulkit of Panjim, Goa is exclusively engaged in intra - state taxable supply of shoes.
His aggregate turnover in the current financial year is Rs. 22 lakh.
c) Harshit of Himachal Pradesh is exclusively engaged in intra - state supply of pan
masals. His aggregate turnover in the current financial year is Rs. 24 lakh.
d) Ankit of Assam is exclusively engaged in intra - state supply of taxable services. His
aggregate turnover in the current financial year is Rs. 25 lakh.
e) Sanchit of Assam is engaged in intra - state supply of both taxable goods and services.
His aggregate turnover in the current financial year is Rs. 30 lakh.
Ans:
As per Section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10 / 2019 CT dated 07-03-2019, a
supplier is liable to be registered in the State / Union Territory from where he makes a taxable supply
of goods and / or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit. The
threshold limit for a person making exclusive intra - state taxable supplies of goods is as
under-
a) Rs. 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
b) Rs. 20 lakh for the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telengana, and
Uttarakhand.
c) Rs. 40 lakh for rest of India

The threshold limit for a person making exclusive taxable supply of services or supply of both
goods and services is as under:
a) Rs. 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland
b) Rs. 20 lakh for the rest of India.

In the light of the afore-mentioned provisions, the answer to the independent cases is as under-
a) Raghav is eligible for higher threshold limit of turnover for registration, i.e. Rs. 40 lakh as he is
exclusively engaged in intra-state supply of goods. However, since Raghav is engaged in
supplying readymade garments from a Special Category State i.e. Tripura, the threshold limit gets
reduced to Rs. 10 lakh. Thus, Raghav is liable to get registered under GST as his turnover exceeds
Rs. 10 lakh. Further, he is required to obtain registration in both Assam and Tripura as he is
making taxable supplies from both the States.
b) The applicable threshold limit for registration for Pulkit in the given case is Rs. 40 lakh as he is
exclusively engaged in intra-state taxable supply of goods. Thus, he is not liable to get registered
under GST as his turnover is less than the threshold limit.
c) Harshit being exclusively engaged in supply of pan masala is not eligible for higher threshold limit
of Rs. 40 lakh. The applicable threshold limit for registration in this case is Rs. 20 lakh. Thus,
Harshit is liable to get registered under GST.
d) Though Ankit is dealing in Assam, he is not entitled for higher threshold limit for registration as
the same is applicable only in case of exclusive supply of goods while he is exclusively engaged in
providing services. Thus, the applicable threshold limit for registration in this case is Rs. 20 lakh
and hence, Ankit is liable to get registered under GST.

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

e) Since Sanchit is engaged in supply of both taxable goods and services, the applicable threshold
limit for registration in his case is Rs. 20 lakh. Thus, Sanchit is liable to get registered under GST
as his turnover is more than the threshold limit.

19. Barmer Oils, Rajasthan, is engaged in supplying machine oil as well as petrol. The turnover
of machine oil is Rs. 24 lakhs and of petrol is Rs. 18 lakhs. Supply of petrol is not leviable to
GST, but supply of machine is oil is taxable. Barmer Oils contend that since turnover of
machine oil does not exceed Rs. 40 lakh, it is not liable for registration under GST. Decide.
Ans:
The contention of Barmer Oils is not correct in law. In order to determine whether Barmer Oils is liable
for registration, turnover of both the supplies – non-taxable as well as taxable would be taken into
account and since the same exceeds Rs. 40 lakh, Barmer Oils is liable for registration.
20. Rajesh Dynamics, having its head office in Chennai, carries on the following activities with
respective turnovers in a Financial Year:
No Particulars Rs
1 Supply of petrol at Chennai 18,00,000
2 Value of inward supplies on which tax is payable on reverse charge basis 9,00,000
3 Supply of transformer oil at Chennai 2,00,000
4 Value of branch transfer from Chennai to Bengaluru without payment of 1,50,000
consideration
5 Value of taxable supplies at Manipur branch 11,50,000

It argues that it does not have taxable turnover crossing threshold limit of Rs. 40,00,000
either at Chennai or Bengaluru and including turnover at Manipur branch. It believes that
the determination of aggregate turnover is not required for the purpose of obtaining
registration but it is required for determining composition levy.
Decide based on the above facts:
a) The aggregate turnover of Rajesh Dynamics
b) All conditions that fulfill the requirement for registration under CGST Act, 2017 in the
given circumstances. (May 2018)
Ans:
Registration Provisions: As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No.
10/2019-CT dated 07-03-2019, a supplier is liable to be registered in the State/ Union Territory from
where he makes a taxable supply of goods and / or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year
exceeds the threshold limit. The threshold limit for a person making exclusive intra-state taxable supplies
of goods is as under:
a) Rs. 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
b) Rs. 20 lakh for the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telengana and
Uttarakhand.
c) Rs. 40 lakh for rest of India.
Meaning of Aggregate Turnover: As per Section 2(6) of the CGST Act,2017, aggregate turnover
includes the aggregate value of:
a) All taxable supplies
b) All exempt supplies
c) Exports of goods and / or services and

| BY CA DEEPAK P ANDIAN& CA ANEESH NOOR MOHAMMED 45


GST [CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION]
The above is computed on all India basis. Further, the aggregate turnover excludes central tax, State tax,
Union territory tax, integrated tax and cess. Moreover, the value of inward supplies on which tax is
payable under reverse charge is not taken into account for calculation of ‘aggregate turnover’.

Non-Taxable supply included for determination of aggregate turnover: Section 9 of the CGST Act, 2017
provides that CGST is not leviable on five petroleum products i.e. petroleum crude, motor spirit (petrol),
high speed diesel, natural gas and aviation turbine fuel. As per section 2(47) of the CGST Act, 2017,
exempt supply includes non-taxable supply. Thus, supply of petrol in Chennai, being a non-taxable
supply, is an exempt supply and is, therefore, includible while computing the aggregate turnover.

Since one of the branches is located in Manipur and is making taxable supplies from that state, the
turnover limit will be Rs. 10 lakh for determination of registration requirements.
In the backdrop of the above-mentioned discussion, the aggregate turnover is computed as
under-
No Particulars Rs
1 Supply of petrol at Chennai 18,00,000
2 Value of inward supplies on which tax is payable on reverse charge basis -
3 Supply of transformer oil at Chennai 2,00,000
4 Value of branch transfer from Chennai to Bengaluru without payment of 1,50,000
consideration
5 Value of taxable supplies at Manipur branch 11,50,000
6 Aggregate Turnover 33,00,000

Rajesh Dynamics’ argument that it is not liable to registration since the threshold exemption of Rs. 40
lakh is not being crossed either at Chennai, Bengaluru or Manipur is not correct as firstly, the aggregate
turnover to be considered in its case is Rs. 10 lakh and not Rs. 40 lakh and secondly, the same is
computed on all India basis and not State-wise.

Further, Rajesh Dynamics is also wrong in believing that aggregate turnover is computed only for the
purpose of determining the eligibility limit for composition levy since the aggregate turnover is required
for determining the eligibility for both registration and composition levy. However, Rajesh Dynamics is
compulsorily required to register under section 24 of the CGST Act, 2017 irrespective of the turnover
limit as it is liable to pay tax on inward supplies under reverse charge and it also makes inter-state
taxable supply.

21. LMN Pvt. Ltd. Coimbatore exclusively manufactures and sells product ‘X’ which is exempt
from GST vide notifications issued under relevant GST legislations. The company sells ‘X’
only within Tamil Nadu. The turnover of the company in the previous year was Rs. 45 lakh.
The company expects the sales to grow by 30% in the current year. The company purchased
additional machinery for manufacturing ‘X’ on 01.07.2019. The purchase price of the capital
goods was Rs. 30 lakh excusive of GST @ 18%. However, effective from01.11.2019, exemption
available on ‘X’ was withdrawn by the Central Government and GST @ 12% was imposed
thereon. The turnover of the company for the half year ended on 30.09.2019 was Rs. 45 lakh.
a) Examine the above scenario and advise LMN Pvt. Ltd whether it needs to get
registered under GST.

b) If the answer to the above question is in affirmative, advise LMN Pvt. Ltd. whether it can
avail input tax credit on the additional machinery purchased exclusively for manufacturing
‘X’? (RTP May 2018 & Nov 2019, 5 marks – Nov 2018)
Ans:
a) Registration requirements: Section 22(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No.
10/2019-CT dated 07-03-2019 inter alia provides that every supplier who is engaged in intra-state
exclusive supply of good is liable to be registered under GST in the State/ Union territory from
where he makes the taxable supply of goods only when aggregate turnover in a financial year
exceeds Rs. 40,00,000.
 However, the above provisions are not applicable to few specified States, i.e. States of Arunachal
Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telengana, Tripura,
Uttarakhand.
 Further, a person exclusively engaged in the business of supply of goods and / or services that are
not liable to tax or are wholly exempt from tax is not liable to registration in terms of section
23(1)(a) of CGST Act, 2017.
 In the given case, the turnover of the company for the half year ended on 30.09.2019 is Rs. 45 lakh
which is more than the applicable threshold limit of Rs. 40 lakh. Therefore, as per above mentioned
provisions, the company should be liable to registration. However, since LMN Pvt. Ltd. supplied
exempted goods till 31.10.2019 it was not required to be registered till that day; thought voluntary
registration was allowed u/s 25(3) of the CGST Act, 2017.
 However, the position will change from 01.11.2019 as the supply of goods become taxable from
that day and the turnover of company is above Rs. 40 lakh. It is important to note here that in
terms of section 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017 the aggregate turnover limit of Rs. 40 lakh includes
exempt turnover also.
 Therefore, turnover of ‘X’ will be considered for determining the limit of Rs. 40 lakh even though
the same was exempt from GST. Therefore, the company needs to register within 30 days from
01.11.2019 (the date on which it becomes liable to registration) in terms of section 25(1) of the
CGST Act, 2017.
b) Input tax credit eligibility: Section 18(1)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that a person who
has applies for registration within 30 days from the date on which he becomes liable to registration
and has been granted such registration shall be entitled to take credit of input tax in respect of
inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock on the
day immediately preceding the date from which he becomes liable to pay tax under the provisions
of this Act.
 Thus, LMN Pvt. Ltd. cannot avail credit for additional machinery purchased exclusively for
manufacturing X as input tax credit of only inputs is allowed when a person gets registered for
the first time.

charge

All the above amounts are excluding GST. You are required to provide reasons for treatment
of various items given above. (5 marks, May 2018)
Ans:

2 Supply of goods, after completion of job work, from the place of Jayant Enterprises Nil
directly by principal [to from part of the aggregate turnover of principal]
3 Export supply to England (UK) [Specifically includible in the aggregate turnover] 5,00,000
4 Supply to its own additional place of business in Rajasthan [Supply made without Nil
consideration to units within the same State (under same registration) is a not a
supply and hence not includible in aggregate turnover]
5 [However if separate registration has been obtained for such additional place of
business, then the value will be included for purpose of determination of aggregate
turnover]
6 Outward supply on which GST is to be paid by recipient under reverse charge 1,00,000

23. Dharma Dutta has taken voluntary registration and has not opted for the composition
scheme of levy. He is aggrieved by the cancellation of his registration under GST, although
he is filing NIL returns, as he has not conducted any business for the past 8 months. He
wants to know the circumstances under which the proper officer can cancel registration on
his own. (4 marks, Nov 2019)
According to section 29 (2) read with Rule 21 of CGST Rules 2017, the proper officer may
cancel the registration of a person from such date, including any retrospective date, as he may
deem fit where,
a) A registered person has contravened such provisions of the Act or the rules made
thereunder i.e., -
b) A person paying tax u/ s 10 i.e., composition scheme has not furnished returns for 3
consecutive tax periods; or
c) Any registered person, other than a person specified in section 29(2)(b), has not
furnished returns for a continuous period of 6 months; or

d) Any person who has taken voluntary registration u/ s 25(3) has not commenced

Thus, in this case, since Dharma Dutta has obtained voluntary registration and has not
conducted any business for the past 8 months, hence the proper officer may cancel his
registration, but before cancellation Dharma Dutta must be given a reasonable opportunity
of being heard.

liabilities which may be due in another head. In such cases taxpayers can
claim the refund of the amount which may have been deposited under
wrong head in GST by filing a refund application in FORM RFD – 01
under the category ‚Excess balance in ECL‛. The process of filing refund
claim and its disbursement can sometimes lead to blockage of funds for

QUESTION FOR UNDERSTANDING

1. M/s. Daksha Enterprises has made a cash deposit of Rs. 10,000 under minor head ‘tax’ of major
head ‘ CGST’. It has a liability of Rs. 2,000 for minor head ‘interest’ under the major head
‘CGST’. State whether M/s Daksha Enterprises can utilize the amount available for payment

QUESTION FOR UNDERSTANDING


1. M/s Cavenon Enterprises, a registered supplier of designer wedding dresses under regular
scheme, has aggregate annual turnover of Rs. 30 lakh in the preceding financial year. It is
of the view that in the current financial year, it is permitted to file its monthly statement of
outward supplies – GSTR-1 on a quarterly basis while its accountant advises it to file the
same on a monthly basis. You are required to advise M/s. Cavenon Enterprises on the
same. During a given tax period in the current financial year, owing to an off-season, M/s
Cavenon Enterprises has not made any taxable supply. Therefore, M/s Cavenon
Enterprises opines that no return under GST is required to be filed for the said period.
You are required to examine the technical veracityof the opinion of M/s Cavenon
Enterprises. (RTP May 2019)

Solution:
Section 37 of the CGST Act, 2017 stipulates that GSTR-1 for a particular month is required to be filed
on or before the 10th day of the immediately succeeding month, i.e. on a monthly basis.
However, presently, as a measure of easing the compliance requirement for small tax payers, GSTR-1
has been allowed to be filed quarterly by small tax payers with aggregate annual turnover up to Rs. 1.5
crore in the preceding financial year or the current financial year. Tax payers with annual aggregate
turnover above Rs. 1.5 crore will however continue to file GSTR-1 on a monthly basis.
In view of the same, M/s. Cavenon Enterprises can file its GSTR-1 on quarterly basis as its aggregate
turnover does not exceed Rs. 1.5 crore in the preceding financial year.
Further, GSTR-1 needs to be filed even if there is no business activity in a tax period. Thus, in the
present case,even if no supply has been made by M/s. Cavenon Enterprises, a nil return is required to
befiled for the relevant tax period.

It may be noted that, the expression 'due date' is missing in time limits
prescribed for making amendmentsunder section 37(3) GSTR - 1.
Therefore, dates mentioned in these sections apparently mean actual

QUESTION FOR UNDERSTANDING

1. XYZ Ltd. furnished the annual return for the year 2019 - 20 on August 25, 2020. An error is
discovered in respect of a transaction pertaining to outward supplies of November 2019.
Determine the time limit to rectify the mistake in case return of September 2020 is furnished
on 19th October 2020. Would your answer be different if annual return for financial year
2019 - 20 is furnished on 25-12-2020?

Solution:

As per provisions of Section 37(3) of the CGST Act, 2017, no rectification of error or omission in respect
of the details furnished of outward supplies shall be allowed after –furnishing of the return under section
39 for the month of September following the end of the financial year to which such details pertain,
orfurnishing of the relevant annual return,whichever is earlier.

Thus, in this case the annual return for financial year 2019-20 has been furnished by XYZ Ltd. on
August 25, 2020and return for the month of September, 2020 is furnished on 19th October 2020, the
rectification of the errorpertaining to a transaction in November 2019 cannot be made beyond August
25th, 2020 i.e. earlier of 25th August2020 or 19th October 2020.

In other words, once annual return for financial year 2019-20 is filed before the filing of return for the
month ofSeptember, 2020, no amendments relating to financial year 2019-20 will be permitted thereafter
and in such case,mismatch will become permanent and liability to that extent will be fastened on the
receiver. Thus, even if annualreturn for financial year 2019-20 is furnished on 25-12-2020, the
rectification of the error pertaining to atransaction in November 2019 cannot be made beyond 19th
October, 2020.

NON - APPLICABILITY

Particulars Description
TDS Provisions not  TDS provisions shall not apply to the supply of goods or
applicable in certain services or both from a public sector undertaking to another
cases public sector undertaking, whether or not a distinct person.
 TDS provisions shall not apply to the supply of goods or
services or both which takes place between one person to
another person specified in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of
Section 51 of the said Act i.e supplies made by Government
Departments and PSUs to another Government Departments
and vice-versa are exempt from TDS.
No deduction in Certain No deduction shall be made if the location of the supplier and the
Case place of supply is in a State or Union territory which is different
from the State or as the case may be, Union Territory of
registration of the recipient

This can be explained as under:


a) Supplier, place of supply and recipient are in the same state.
It would be intra-State supply and TDS (Central plus State
tax) shall be deducted. It would be possible for the supplier (i.
e. The deductee) to take credit of TDS in his electronic cash
ledger.
b) Supplier as well as the place of supply are in different states.
In such cases, integrated tax would be levied. TDS to be
deducted would be TDS (Integrated tax) and it would be
possible for the supplier (i.e. the deductee) to take credit of
TDS in his electronic cash ledger.
c) Supplier as well as the place of supply are in State A and the
recipient is located in State B, The supply would be intra-
State supply and Central tax and State tax would be levied. In
such case/transfer of TDS (Central tax + State tax of State B) to
the cash ledger of the supplier (central tax + State tax of State
A) would be difficult. So in such cases, TDS would not be
deducted.
Thus, when both the supplier as well as the place of supply are
different from that of the recipient, no tax deduction at source
would be made.

EXAMPLES
Supplier is registered and contract value is excluding GST:
Example 1:
Supplier X makes taxable supply worth Rs. 10,000/- to a Municipality where contract for supply
is for Rs. 15 lacs. The rate of GST is 18%. Supplier and the deductor are in the same State.
Following payment is being made by this Municipality to X; Rs 10,000 (value of Supply) + Rs
900 (Central Tax) + Rs 900 (State tax).
Value of supply = Rs 10,000
Tax to be deducted from payment:
Central tax = 1 % on Rs 10,000 = Rs 100; State Tax = 1% on Rs 10,000 = Rs 100/-
Payment due to X after TDS as per GST provisions Rs. 11600

Supplier is registered and contract value is inclusive of GST:


Example 2:
Supplier Y of Mumbai makes taxable supply worth Rs 10,000 /- & exempted supply worth Rs
20,000/- in an invoice/bill of supply to Finance Department of GOI located in New Delhi where
contract for supply is for Rs 6,00,000/- ( Rs 2,60,000 for taxable supply including GST and Rs
3,40,000 for exempted supply). The rate of GST 18%, Following payment is being made by

GOIto Y; Rs 10,000/-(value of taxable supply + Rs 1,800 (Integrated Tax) + Rs 20,000/-(value of


exempted Supply). Where any deduction of tax is required?
Value of taxable supply in the contract =Rs 2, 60,000(including GST)
Value of such contract excluding tax = Rs 260000 x 100/118 = Rs. 220340/-
Since, the value of taxable supply in the contract does not exceed Rs2.5 lakh; deduction of tax is
not required.

Supplier is registered under composition scheme:


Example 3:
Supplier ZA is a person registered under the composition scheme in Jharkhand who makes
taxable supply worth Rs 10,000/- to a Local Authority of Jharkhand where value of taxable
supply under the contract is for Rs 2,55,000/- Following payment is being made by the Local
Authority of Jharkhand to ZA Rs 10,000/-
Value of taxable supply under the contract is Rs 2,55,0000 which is more than Rs 2.5 lakh and
hence deduction of tax is required.

QUESTIONS FOR PRACTICE

1. XYZ Ltd. has supplied goods to local authority for Rs. 11,80,000 (inclusive of GST @ 18%).
Determine the amount of tax to be deducted at source. Also determine the interest
liability if the tax deducted at source on 25.12.2019 is deposited on 28.03.2020.
Ans: As per provisions of Section 50(1) of the Act, the local authority has to deduct tax @ 2% (1%
CGST and 1% SGST) from the payment made or credited to the supplier of taxable goods or services
or both, where the total value of such supply, under a contract, exceeds Rs. 2,50,000, Such tax has to
be paid to the Government by the deductor within 10 days after the end of the month in which such
deduction is made, in such manner as may be prescribed otherwise interest shall be levied @ 18% p.a.
for the period for which the tax or any part thereof remains unpaid.

Hence, the amount of tax to be deducted at source shall be 2% of Rs. 10,00,000 = Rs.20,000 [i.e. Rs.
10,000 – CGST and Rs. 10,000 – SGST]

subject to IGST @ 18%. Therefore, total value of taxable supply [excluding IGST] under the
contract is as follows :
= Rs. 2,60,000 x 100/118
=Rs. 2,20,339 (rounded off)
Since the total value of supply under the contract does not exceed Rs. 2,50,000 tax
is not required to be deducted.
2 Being an intra-state supply of Services, supply of car rental services to Municipal Corporation
of Delhi is subject of CGST and SGST @ 9% each. Therefore, total value of taxable supply

is not required to be deducted.
3 Being an inter-state supply of goods, supply of heavy machinery to PSU in Uttarakhand is
subject to IGST @ 18%. Therefore, total value of taxable supply [excluding IGST] under the
contract is as follows:
=Rs. 5,90,000 x 100/118
=Rs. 5,00,000
Since the total value of supply under the contract exceeds Rs. 2,50,000, PSU in
Uttarakhand is required to deduct tax @ 2% of Rs. 25,000 i.e. 500
4 Being an intra-state supply of goods, supply of taxable goods to National Housing Bank, Delhi
is subject to CGST and SGST @ 9% each. Therefore, total value of taxable supply [excluding
CGST and SGST] under the contract is as follows:
=Rs. 6,49,000 x 100/118
Rs. 5,50,000 (rounded off)
Since the total value of supply under the contract exceeds Rs. 2,50,000, National
Housing Bank, Delhi is required to deduct tax @ 2% (1% CGST + 1% SGST) of
Rs. 50,000 i.e. Rs. 1000.
5 No TDS if the location of the supplier and POS is in a State / UT which is different
from State / UT of registration of the receipient:

Accordingly, the POS of the Andhra Bhavan shall be in delhi.
Since the location of the supplier (Maniher Enterprises) and the POS is delhi and the state of
registration of the receipient – Govt of Andhra Pradesh is Andhra Pradesh, no tax is liable to
be deducted.
6 TDS only if total value of taxable supply in the contract exceeds Rs. 2,50,000, exempt
supply not to be considered:
If the contract is made for both taxable supply and exempted supply, tax shall be deducted if
the total value of taxable supply in the contract exceeds Rs. 2,50,000. Being an intra-state
supply of goods, supply of printed post cards to a West Delhi Post Office is subject to CGST
and SGST @ 9% each. Therefore, total value of taxable supply [excluding CGST and SGST]
under the contract is as follows:
=Rs. 2,72,000 x 100/118
=Rs. 2,30,509 (rounded off)

2,50,000, tax is not required to be deducted.
7 No TDS in case of exempt supply: Composite supply of goods and services in which the value
of supply of goods constitutes not more than 25% of the value of the said composite supply

provided to, inter alia local authority by way of any activity in relation to any function
entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution is exempt from GST.
Thus, maintenance of street lights (an activity in relation to a function entrusted to a
Municipality) in Municipal area of East Delhi involving replacement of defunct lights and
other spares where the value of supply of goods is not more than 25% of the value of composite
supply is a service exempt from GST. Since tax is liable to be deducted from the payment made
or credited to the supplier of taxable goods or services or both, no tax is required to be deducted
in the given case as the supply is exempt.

The answer will remain unchanged even if Manihar Enterprises is registered under
composition scheme. Tax will be deducted in all cases where it is required to be
deducted under section 51 of the CGST Act, 2017 including the scenarios when the
supplier is registered under composition scheme.

immovable property. However, ITC on works contract services used
for construction of such plant and machinery is allowed as an

Working Notes:
No Notes
1 No ITC will be available since ABC Ltd., is not in possession of valid tax paying document.
2 As per sec. 16(2), no registered person shall be entitled to the credit of any input tax in respect
of any supply of goods unless the tax charged in respect of such supply has been actually paid
to the Govt. Since PQR Ltd., has not deposited the tax to the credit of Govt., no ITC can be
claimed by ABC Ltd.
3 A registered person shall be entitled to take ITC on goods which are used or intend to be used
in the course or furtherance of his business. Since ABC Ltd. has purchased the goods for non
business purpose, hence no credit will be admissible on such purchases.
4 ITC is admissible only when registered person has received such goods. Since the goods are
received in the month of Oct, 2019, ITC cannot be taken in the month of Sep, 2019.
5 ITC shall be admissible in month of Sep, 2019 even if payment is made by ABC Ltd. in month
of Oct, 2019.

5. XYZ Ltd. purchased goods valuing Rs. 6,00,000 (exclusive of CGST and SGST @ 9% each)
under the cover of invoice dated 25.12.2019. The company made payment to the supplier
on the same date. Since there was a doubt regarding admissibility of tax credit on such
inputs, the company did not take the ITC at the time of receipt of input. The company
obtained clarification from a legal consultant who opined that the goods were eligible as
inputs under ITC rules. The opinion was received on 05.05.2020. The company now wants
to avail ITC of the tax paid on such inputs. Can it do so? The company has filed its
annual return for the year 2019 - 20 on 12 – 08 – 2020.
Solution:
As per sec. 16(4), a registered person shall not be entitled to take ITC in respect of any invoice or
debit note for supply of goods or services or both after –
a) The due date of furnishing of the return under sec. 39 for the month of Sep. following the end of
FY to which such invoice pertains; or
b) Furnishing the relevant annual return,
Whichever is earlier.

In this case, the input were purchased by invoice dated 25 – 12 – 2019, hence ITC in respect of such
inputs can be taken on earlier of following dates –

 20 – 10 – 2020 being due date of furnishing return of month of Sep, 2020; or


 12 – 08 – 2020 being the date of furnishing of annual return.
Since, XYZ Ltd., can avail credit of input tax paid on inputs till 12 – 08 – 2020. Therefore, it can
avail credit of CGST Rs. 54,000 and SGST of Rs. 54,000 on 05 – 05 – 2020.

@ 12%. The company has filed its annual return for Financial Year on 15.12.2020.
Determine the time limit for taking Input tax credit for the amount of tax covered in debit
note as well as original invoice.

As per Section 16(4) of CGST Act, 2017, a registered person shall not be entitled to take input tax
credit in respect of any invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both after –
 The due date of furnishing of the return under section 39 for the month of September following
the end of financial year to which such invoice or invoice relating to such debit note pertains, or
 Furnishing of the relevant annual return,
Whichever is earlier.

Though the debit note was received in the next financial year, it relates to an invoice received in the
financial year ending March 2020. Therefore, the time limit for taking ITC of Rs. 6,000 (12% of Rs.
50,000) as well as on Rs. 60,000 (12% of Rs. 5,00,000) is 20th October, 2020; being earlier of the date

IGST paid on the import. The departmental audit raises an objection that aircrafts fall

allowed on conveyances. Offer your comments.

The objection raised by the departmental audit is not valid in law. As per Section 17(5)(aa) of the
CGST Act, ITC is allowed on aircraft if they are used to make the taxable supply of imparting
training on flying an aircraft. Therefore, flying school has validly taken the credit of IGST paid on

28. XYZ Ltd conducted its 50th Annual General meeting at its head office in New Delhi and
availed services of delicious caterers on that occasion. Delicious caterers charged Rs. 15,
00,000 plus GST @ 18% for supply of outdoor catering services. You are required to advice
XYZ Ltd if it can avail Input tax credit of the GST paid on outdoor catering services.
Solution:
As per Section 17(5)(b), input tax credit shall not be available in respect of supply of outdoor catering
service unless inward supply of such services is used by a registered person for making an outward
taxable supply of the same category of goods or services or both or as an element of a taxable
composite or mixed supply or where it is obligatory for an employer to provide the same to its
employees under any law for the time being in force. Hence, XYZ Ltd. is not entitled to avail ITC of
GST paid on outdoor catering services availed from Delicious caterers.

1 Input tax credit on supply of life insurance service is not blocked if it is obligatory for an
employer to provide the same to its employees under any law for the time being in force.
[Section 17(5)(b) of the CGST Act]. In this case the life insurance service is provided as per
the policy of the company and not as per the statutory obligation; hence no input tax credit
shall be admissible.
2 ITC cannot be taken on missing invoice. The registered person should have the invoice or
any other prescribed document in its possession to claim ITC. Delivery challan is not a
prescribed document, hence input tax credit cannot be availed on basis of delivery challan –
Section 16(2)(a).
3 Section 16(2) of the IGST Act specifies that ITC may be availed on inward supplies for
making zero-rated supply, notwithstanding the exempt nature of the zero - rated supply.
Thus, Raw materials purchased for making zero rated supplies are eligible for input tax
credit.
4 As per Section 17(5)(c) ITC cannot be taken on works contract services when supplied for
construction of an immovable property. As per explanation thereto ‚Construction‛ includes
re-construction, renovation, additions or alterations or repairs, to the extent of capitalization
to the said immovable property. In this case since the cost of repairs is not capitalized in the
accounts, hence the same do not fall under construction. Thus, ITC can be availed on such
works contract services.
5 Input tax paid on capital goods cannot be availed as ITC, if depreciation has been claimed on
such tax component – Section 16(3).Notwithstanding anything contained in Section
16(2)(b), the principal shall be entitled to take credit of input tax on inputs even if the
inputs are directly sent to a job worker for job work without being first brought to his place
of business. Where the inputs sent for job work are not received back by the principal after
completion of job-work or otherwise or are not supplied from the place of business of the job
worker in accordance with Section 143(1)(a)(b) within one year of from the date of receipt of
inputs by the job worker, then it shall be deemed that such inputs had been supplied by the
principal to the job worker on the day when the said inputs were sent out.Hence, the ITC
taken by PQR Company Ltd. in Sep 2019 is valid and since 1 year period has yet not lapsed
in April, 2020, there will be no tax liability on such inputs.

1 As per sec. 17(5)(a), no ITC is available in respect of motor vehicles for transportation of
persons having approved seating capacity of not more than 13 persons including driver,
unless they are used for making the following taxable supplies, namely –
A) Further supply of such motor vehicles; or
B) Transportation of passengers; or
C) Imparting training on driving such motor vehicles. Hece, no ITC is available on the
said motor vehicles.
2 As epr sec. 17(5)(a), no ITC is available in respect of motor vehicles for transportation of
persons having approved seating capacity of not more than 13 persons including driver.
Thus, ITC shall be admissible on motor bus.
3 In respect of motor vehicle used for the purpose of transportation of goods, the same is not
be covered under the ambit of blocked credit. Hence, ITC shall be admissible in respect of
such motor vehicles.
4 As per sec. 17(5)(b), no ITC is available in respect of foods and beverages except where an
inward supply of goods or services or both of a particular category is used by a registered
person for making an outward taxable supply of the same category of goods or services or
both or as an element of taxable composite or mixed supply or if provision of such goods or
services is obligatory for an employer to provide to its employees under any law for the
time being in force. Hence, no ITC is available on food and beverages procured from sweet
caterers for being used in dealer’s meet.
5 Since, motor lorries meant fortransportation of goods is not covered under the ambit of
blocked credit, hence services of repair and maintenance of motor lorries is also eligibl for
credit.
6 Services of general insurance of motor vehicles for transportation of persons having
approved seating capacity of 7 persons including driver shall not be eligible for ITC since
the same is covered under the ambit of blocked credit under sec. 17(5)(ab) of the CGST
Act, 2017.
7 Since ITC is eligible for motor vehicles for transportation of persons having approved
seating capacity of 14 persons, hence services of serving of such motor vehicles shall be
eligible for ITC.

32. Krishna Motors is a car dealer selling cars of an international car company having

ii. A works contract services availed for constructing a car washing shed in its
premises. [RTP May 2018]
Solution:
As per sec. 16(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, every registered person can take credit of input tax
charged on any supply of goods or services or both to him which are used or intended to be
used in the course or furtherance of his business. However, Sec. 17(5) of CGST Act, 2017
specifies certain goods and services on which the ITC is not available.
In the light of the foregoing provisions, the availability of ITC in respect of the various
expenses incurred by Krishna Motors is discussed below –
i. Sec. 17(5)(a) specifically blocks ITC on the motor vehicles for transportation of person
having approved seating capacity of not more than 13 persons including the driver.
However, the same is allowed when the motor vehicle are used inter alia for further
supply of such motor vehicles. Thus, ITC on cars purchased from the manufacturer for
making further supply of such cars will be allowed.
However, ITC on the cars destroyed in accident will not be allowed as the ITC on goods
destroyed for whichever reason is specifically blocked u/ s 17(5)(a) of CGST Act.
ii. Sec. 17(5)(c) specifically blocks ITC on works contract services when supplied for
construction of an immovable property other than plant & machinery except where it is
an input service for further supply of works contract service. Since, in this case, the car
washing shed is not a plant & machinery and the works contract service is not used for
further supply of works contract service, ITC thereon will not be allowed.

QUESTIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING


1. A garment factory receives a Government order for making uniforms for adefence
personnel. This supply is exempt from tax under a special notification. The fabric is
separately procured for the supply, but thread buttons and lining material for the collars
are the ones which are used for other taxable products of the factory.
The turnover of the other garments of the factory and exempted uniforms in July is Rs. 8
crore and Rs. 2 crore respectively, the ITC on thread, button and lining material procured
in July is Rs. 5,000, Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively. Calculate the eligible ITC on
thread, button and lining material.

Solution:
Thread, button and lining material are inputs which are used for making taxable as well as exempt
supplies. Therefore, credit on such items will be apportioned and credit attributable to exempt
supplies will be added to the output tax liability in terms of rule 42 of the CGST Rules, 2017.
Credit attributable to exempt supplies = Common credit x (Exempt turnover / total
turnover)
Here, common credit = Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 5,000 =Rs. 45,000
Exempt turnover = Rs. 2crore
Total turnover = Rs. 10crore [Rs. 2crore + Rs. 8crore]
Amount of input tax credit attributable towards exempt supplies = [Rs. 2crore/Rs. 10crore] x
Rs. 45,000 = Rs. 9,000.
Ineligible credit of Rs. 9,000 will be reversed by the registered person in FORM GSTR – 3B for
the month of July. Credit of Rs. 36,000 will be eligible credit for the month of July.

4. Alok Pvt. Ltd., a registered manufacturer, sent steel cabinets worth Rs. 50 lakh under a
delivery challan to M/s Prem Tools, a registered job worker, for work on 28 – 01-2020. The
scope of job work included mounting the steel cabinets on a metal frame and sending the
mounted panels back to AlokPvt Ltd. The metal frame is to be supplied by M/s Prem Tools.
M/s Prem Tools has agreed to a consideration of Rs 5 Lakh for the entire mounting activity
including the supply of metal frame. During the course of mounting activity, metal waste is
generated which is sold by M/s Prem Tools for Rs 45,000. M/s Prem Tools sent the steel
cabinets mounted on the metal frame of AlokPvt Ltd on 03 – 12-2020.
Assuming GSTrate for metal frame as 28 %, for metal waste as 12 % and standard rate for

5. Sudama Industries Ltd., registered in the State of Jammu & Kashmir, manufactures plastic
pipes for other supplies on job work basis.
On 10 – 01-2020, Plasto Manufacturers (registered in the State of Himachal Pradesh) sent
plastic worth Rs. 4 lakh and moulds worth Rs. 50,000, free of cost, to Sudama Industries Ltd.
to make plastic pipes. Sudama Industries Ltd. also used its own material – a special type of
lamination material for coating the pipes – worth Rs. 1 lakh in the manufacture of pipes. It
raised an invoice of Rs 2 lakh as job charges for making pipes and returned the
manufactured pipes through challan to Plasto Manufacturers on 20 – 10-2020.
The same quality and quantity of plastic pipes, as was made for Plasto Manufacturers were
made by Sudama Industries Ltd. from its own raw material and sold to Solid Pipe
(registered in Jammu and Kashmir) for Rs. 7.5 lakh on 20 – 10-2020.
Examine the scenario and offer your views on the following issues with reference to the
provisions relating to job work under the GST laws:
a) Is there any difference between the manufacture of plastic pipes by Sudama Industries
Ltd. for Plasto Manufacturers and for Solid Pipes?
b) Whether Sudama Industries Ltd. can use its own material even when it is manufacturing
the plastic pipes on job -work basis?
c) Whether sending the plastic and moulds to Sudama Industries Ltd by Plasto
Manufacturers is a supply and a taxable invoice needs to be issued for the same?
d) Whether Sudama Industries Ltd should include the value of free of cost plastic supplied
by Plasto Manufacturers in its job charges. [MTP MAY 2019]

Solution:

Case Explanation
As per Section 2(68) of the CGST Act, 2017, job work means any treatment or process
a) undertaken by a person on goods belonging to another registered person and the
expression ‚job worker‛ shall be constructed accordingly. The registered person on whose
goods (inputs or capital goods) job work is performed is called the principal. Thus, the job
worker is expected to work on the goods sent by the Principal.
Therefore, when the goods are manufactured by SudamaIndutries Ltd for Plasto
Manufacturers, it is job work as the manufacturing process is undertaken on inputs (plastic
and moulds) supplied by the principal (Plasto Manufacturers ) and when goods are
manufactured for Solid Pipes, it is manufacture on own account as the pipes are
manufactured from company’s own raw material. Further, manufacture on job work basis is
a supply of service in terms of pars 3 of Schedule II to the CGST Act, 2017 and
manufacturer of pipes on own account is a supply of goods.
It has been clarified vide Circular No. 38/12/2018 - GST dated 26 – 03-2018 that the job
b) worker, in addition to the goods received from the principal, can use his own goods for
providing the services of job work.
Section 143 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that the registered principal may, without
c) payment of tax, send inputs or capital goods to a job worker for job work. Subsequently, on
completion of the job work, the principal shall either bring back the goods to his place of
business or supply (including export) the same directly from the place of business/premises
of the job worker with in one year plus extended period of one year in case of inputs or
within three years plus extended period of two years in case of capital goods (except moulds
and dies, jigs and fixtures or tools). Thus, the provision relating to return of goods is not
applicable in case of moulds, dies, jogs, fixtures and tools.

If the time frame of one year plus extended period of one year/three years plus extended
period of two years for bringing back or further supplying the inputs/ capital goods is not
adhered to, the activity of sending the goods for job work shall be deemed to be a supply by
the principal on the day when the said inputs/ capital goods were sent out by him. Thus
essentially sending goods for job work is not a supply as such, but it acquires the character of
supply only when the inputs/ capital goods sent for job work are neither received back by the
principal nor supplied further by the principal from the place of business /premises of the job
worker within the specified period of being sent out.

Therefore sending of plastic and moulds by Plasto Manufacturers to SudamaIndustries


Ltd.(job worker) is not supply as the manufactured pipes are received back within the

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

stipulated time and theprovisions relating to return of goods are not applicable in case of
moulds.

Rule 45 of the CGST Rules provides that the inputs, semi-finished goods or capital goods
being sent for job work shall be sent under the cover of a challan issued by theprincipal.
Therefore,Plasto Manufacturers need not issue a taxable invoice for sending the inputs to
Sudama Industries Ltd. but should sendthe inputs under the cover of a challan.
As per section 15 (2)( b)of the CGST Act, any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in
d) 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 goods or services or both, is includible
in the value of supply. However Sudama Industries Ltd. should not include the value of free
of cost plastic supplied by Plasto Manufacturers in its job charges asSudama Industries Ltd
is manufacturing the plastic pipes on job work basis.The scope of supply of the Sudama
Industries Ltd is to manufacture plastic pipes from theraw material supplied by the
Plasto Manufacturers. Thus, at no point of time was Sudama Industries Ltd.(supplier of
job work service) liable to pay for the raw material and therefore, the value of thereof should
not be included in its job charges even though the same has been incurred by Plasto
Manufacturers (recipient of job work service).

QUESTION FOR UNDERSTANDING


1. PQR Manufacturers, a registered person, instructs the supplier to send the capital goods
directly to SS Ltd, a job worker outside its factory premises for carrying out the certain
operations on the goods. The goods were sent by the supplier on 15 – 09-2019 and were
received by SS Ltd on 20 – 09-2019. The job worker SS Ltd carried out the job work but did
return the capital goods to their principal PQR Manufacturers. Discuss whether PQR
Manufacturers are eligible to retain the input tax credit availed by them on the capital
goods.What action under GST Act is required to be taken by PQR Manufacturers? What
would your answer be if in place of capital goods jigs and fixtures are supplied to the job
worker and the same has not been returned to the principal?
Solution:
As per sec. 19(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, the principal shall be entitled to take credit of input
tax on capital goods even if the capital goods are directly sent to a job worker for job work
without being first brought to his place of business. However, as per sec. 19(6) where the
capital goods sent for job work are not received back by the principal within a period of 3
years of being sent out, it shall be deemed that such capital goods had been supplied by the
principal to the job worker on the day when the said capital goods were sent out and in case
of direct dispatch to the job worker, the period of 3 years shall be counted from the date of
receipt of capital goods by the job worker.
Applying the above provisions, in the instant case, PQR Manufacturers can take ITC on such
capital goods even if they are sent directly to SS Ltd’s (a job worker’s) premises. Here, the 3
years period shall be counted from the date of receipt of the capital goods by the job worker
i.e., 20.09.2019 and hence the capital goods should be returned before 20.09.2022, otherwise
it shall be treated as deemed supply of the capital goods by the principal to the job worker
as on 20.09.2019.
Thus, in case the capital goods are not returned within the above mentioned time by the job
worker, PQR Manufacturers will have to pay tax along with interest on such deemed supply
of capital goods to SS Ltd.
In case of supply of moulds, dies, jigs, fixtures or tools to job worker in place of Capital
Goods:
As per sec. 19(7), the time limit as given in sec. 19(3) shall not apply in case of moulds, dies,
jigs and fixtures or tools sent to the job worker. Therefore, in this case, PQR Manufacturers
is not required to pay tax even if SS Ltd. has not returned the moulds and dies, jigs and
fixtures or tools.

DISTRIBUTION OF TAXES
The Corporate office of ABC Ltd., is at Bangalore, with its business locations of selling and
servicing of goods at Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata. Software license and
maintenance is used at all the locations, but invoice for these services (indicating CGST and
SGST) are received at Corporate Office. Since the software is used at all the four locations,
the ITC of entire services cannot be claimed at Bangalore. The same has to be distributed to
all the four locations. For that reason, the Bangalore Corporate office has to act as ISD to
distribute the credit.
If the corporate office of ABC Ltd, an ISD situated in Bangalore, receives invoices
indicating Rs.4 lakh of CGST, Rs.4 lakh of SGST and RS.7 lakh of IGST, it can distribute the
ITC of CGST, SGST as well as IGST of Rs.15 lakh amongst its locations at Bangalore,
Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata through an ISD invoice containing the amount of credit

1) The credit of input tax attributable as input service to a particulars unit shall be distributed only
to that unit. Since unit – III is exclusively engaged in supply of exempted goods, the total credit
of Rs. 54,000 is distributable to it. Further, as per Rule 39(1)(d) of CGST Rules, no
differentiation is to be made whether the unit is registered or not, and therefore, credit
attributable to Unit III is distributed to that unit although it is not registered, which implies, it is
a loss of credit.

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

2) As per sec. 20 (2)(b), the credit of tax attributable as input service to more than one unit but not
to all the units shall be distributed only amoungst such units to which the input service is
attributable and such distribution shall be pro rata on the basis of the turnover of such units, to
the total turnover of all such units during the relevant period. Hence, the credit of input service
‘B’ is distributed to Unit I, II and III.
3) Given that the service availed for employee on vacation during the month would not be eligible
input services u/ s 17(5) since the same is not under statutory obligation, the taxes relating to
invoice ‘D’ should be distributed as eligible input tax (Rs. 1,080 + Rs. 1,080), and the
distribution must be done separately for CGST and SGST. Since the service is wholly attributable
to Unit I, hence distributed only to such unit.
Note:
The ‘turnover in State’ is arrived at a value for the ‘relevant period’. Since all the 4 units were
operational during the preceding FY, the relevant period would be the preceding FY.

Unit – III (Not registered as exclusively engaged in supply of exempt goods) 6,10,000
Unit – IV 4,12,000
Total 16,66,000

Solution:

‚Relevant period‛ means –
i. If the recipients of credit have turnover in their State or Union Territories in the FY
preceding the year during which credit is to be distributed, the said FY; or
ii. In any other case, the last quarter for which details of such turnover of all the recipients are
available, previous to the month during which credit is to be distributed.
Since the detail of turnover of year 2018 – 19 of IV unit is not available we will consider the
turnover details of last quarter previous to the month for which credit is to be distributed. i.e., for

CA FINAL – INDIRECT TAXATION GST

Working note:
As per Rule 39(1)(j) of CGST Rules, 2017, any ITC required to be reduced on account of issuance of a
credit note to the ISD by the supplier shall be apportioned to each recipient in the same ratio in which
ITC contained in the original invoice was distributed in terms of rule 39(1)(d), and the amount so
apportioned shall be –
No Explanation
1 Reduced from the amount to be distributed in the month in which the credit note is included in
the return in FORM GSTR – 6; or

2 Added to the output tax liability of the recipient where the amount so apportioned is in the
negative by virtue of the amount of credit under distribution being less than the amount to be
adjusted.

3 In the given case, credit note has been issued relating to input service ‘C’ so the amount is
required to be reduced in the ratio of 5:3:15:10 among the units – I,II,III & IV (as the ITC in
the original invoice was distributed to these units).

Working Note:
1) Given that the service availed for employee on traveling during the month would not be eligible
input services under Section 17(5), the taxes relating to Invoice ‚M‛ should be distributed as
ineligible input tax (Rs. 1,500 + Rs. 1,500), and the distribution must be done separately for
CGST and SGST. Since the service is wholly attributable to Unit I, hence distributed only to
such unit
Note: The ‘turnover in State’ is arrived at a value for the ‘relevant period’. Since all the 4 units
were operational during the preceding financial year, the relevant period would be the
preceding financial year.
