Functioning of GST

12. 12
Others Areas of GST
 As far as registration decision is concerned, a supplier of Goods & services
would be made when GST is payable.
 Then the supplier would have to necessarily register & he would have no
other option.
 The Place of supply would determine first as to whether the transaction is in
India or Outside India. If it is outside India it would not be liable to GST.
 The POT in GST is the Point of supply of Goods. In case of service , then it is
somehow based on the POT rules of Service tax.
 Under the GST structure , the tax would be collected by the states where the
goods or services are consumed .
 Hence there should be heavy losses for the producer states & so the center
would be required to compensate them for their revenue losses.
 Petroleum products, Alcohols/Liquor , Stamp/Custom duty, Consm. &
Sale of Electricity etc. are not covered under the GST purview.

13. 13
 If a company is having four branches in four different states, then all the
four branches will be considered as Taxable Person.
 Importer have to register under both CGST & SGST as well.
 Apart from Export rate, similar benefit may be given to Special Economy
Zone.
 GST paid by exporter on the procurement of Goods & services will be
refunded later on if paid.
 Each taxpayer would be allotted a PAN linked taxpayer identification
number with a total of 13/15 digits.
 This would bring the GST PAN-linked system in line with the prevailing
PAN-based system for Income tax facilitating data exchange and taxpayer
compliance.
 The taxpayer would need to submit periodical returns to both the central &
state GST authorities.
 Common standardized return for all taxes (with different account heads for
CGST, SGST, IGST) can come into picture.
 Common standardized Challan for all taxes (with different account heads
for CGST, SGST,IGST) can come into picture.
 ITC credit can also be verified on the basis of the returns filed and revenues
reconciled against Challan data from banks.

GST ROLLOUT
Here , we are now discuss about the 9 stages for GST Rollout which
depicts entire process from the Initial Approval from Parliament up to
the last stage of Implementation.
Can April 01, 2017 deadline be met ?

20. 20
Flaws of the GST Model
 Major flaws of this model is that the local dealers have to pay CGST in
addition to SGST.
 Because of no differentiation between “goods & services” , services
supply within the state would attract SGST at each stage in the supply
chain ,but in the mean time Assesse have to pay CGST also.
 The issue which still needs to be resolved are the revenue sharing
between States & center & a framework for exemption , threshold limit
as well as composition scheme.
 Introduction of GST model could affect negatively (than positively) to
few Industries/sectors.
 Under the GST Model , the state should face heavy losses in terms of tax
collection but they also get compensated on the other hand by the states.
 Infact some states are of the view that there should not be any time –
frame for compensation scheme.

21. 21
Conclusion
 GST being a dynamic & comprehensive legislation which shall replace most of
the Indirect Taxes of our Country.
 Since it is a major indirect tax reform in India, there would be new legislation
and procedures.
 Most concerns expressed about the implementation of GST can be divided into
3 categories :
i) Design Issues ii) Operational Issues iii) Infrastructure Issues
 For GST to be effective there should be identical GST laws /procedures across
states as well as the centre.
 Few state Govt. have recently indicated their opposition to the implementation
of GST at the present juncture.
 In the mean time ,those state who are not opposing against the implementation
of GST may want assurances that their existing revenues will be protected.
 So, it is now universally acknowledged and recognized that the GST , in
whatever form should be introduced at the earliest as a fundamental fiscal
reform measure.
 Now, on June 14,2016, the CG has put the Draft Model GST law on Public
domain.

22. 22
 The long delayed GST Bill has finally got the nod of the Rajya Sabha as
well as in Lok Shabha in the 2nd week of August ,2016.
 The Rajya Sabha has unanimously passed the ambitious GST Bill with over 2/3
majority.
 All the Political Party had already given their consent provided their demand
had been considered except AIADMK party.
 The Draft GST model Law shall be referred as the Central/State GST Act, 2016.
 The availability of Draft Model GST Law enables the Trade & Industry to plan
the transition from the existing Indirect tax regime to the GST regime.
 The Government has already missed its pre decided deadline of 1st April 2016,
let’s hope that GST law will be effective from 1st April 2017.
 Further , the Chartered Accountants & the Allied Professionals are going to play
the leading role in helping the business houses as well as corporate also.
 GST will be the best example of cooperative federalism.
 Together we will take India to new heights of progress.
 In Nutshell , it is a biggest tax reform till date in our country.
