Introduction:
‘’One Tax, One Nation”
About 160 Countries across the World have adopted GST because this Tax has the capacity to
increase revenue in the most transparent and neutral way. In India the idea of National Goods
and Services Tax (GST) was suggested by Kelkar Task Force in 2004. The Task Force suggested
fully integrated ‘GST’ on national basis.
GST has subsumed multiple indirect taxes like
Excise duty,
Service tax,
VAT, CST,
Luxury tax,
Entertainment tax,
Entry tax, etc.
GST is a route of breaking Indirect tax reform in India which will make a common national
market by dismantling inter-State trade barriers.

Parliament on 19th December, 2014.
The Lok Sabha passed the Bill on 6th May, 2015 and
Rajya Sabha on 3rd August, 2016.
Subsequent to ratification of the Bill by more than 50% of the States, Constitution (122nd
Amendment) Bill, 2014 received the assent of the President on 8th September, 2016 and
Became Constitution (101st Amendment) Act, 2016, which paved the way for introduction of
GST in India

CA- Final GST Notes for Nov 17 Exam www.cakit.in
Compiled By: CA. Santosh Gupta Page 4
Integrated Goods and Services Tax Bill, 2017,
Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Bill, 2017 and
Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Bill, 2017
Were introduced in Lok Sabha.
Lok Sabha passed these bills on 29th March, 2017 and with the receipt of the President’s assent
on 12th April, 2017, the Bills were enacted.
Why we need tax Reforms in India?
The need for Tax Reforms arise in India out of the following factors
Cascading effect:
A manufacturer of excisable goods charges excise duty and value added tax (VAT) on intra-
State sale of goods. However, the VAT dealer on his subsequent intra-State sale of goods
charges VAT (as per prevalent VAT rate as applicable in the respective state) on value
comprising of (basic value + excise duty charged by manufacturer+ profit by dealer)
When the goods are manufactured and sold both central excise duty (CENVAT) and State-Level
VAT are levied. Though CENVAT and State-Level VAT are essentially value added taxes, set
off of one against the credit of another is not possible as CENVAT is a central levy and State-
Level VAT is a State levy
In GST regime the problem of Cascading effect removed
There is no tax on tax or cascading of taxes under GST system. 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 thereby taxing only the value added at each stage of supply
chain.
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 this credit 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
Differentiate Goods and Services
GST does not differentiate between goods and services and thus, the two are taxed at a single
rate, In the GST Regime, the major indirect taxes have been subsumed in the ambit of GST. The
present concepts of manufacture or sale of goods or rendering of services are no longer
applicable since the tax is now levied on “Supply of Goods and/or services’’

Remove Trade Barriers
Benefit: GST will facilitate ‘Make in India’ by converting the geographical landscape of the
country into a single market. Despite being one country, India is a union of 30 or more markets.
Too many taxes in the current system like the Central Sales Tax (CST) on inter-state sales of
goods; numerous intra-state taxes; and the extensive nature of countervailing duty exemptions,
favour imports over domestic production
Structure of Indirect Taxes is very complex in India:
In GST regime
1. To bring out tax certainty in indirect taxation system
2. The incidence of tax falls only on domestic consumption;
3. The efficiency and equity of the system is optimized;
What is Constitutional 101 Amendment bill 2016?
This is one of the most important Constitutional Amendments Bill in order to bring GST into
reality. Insertion of New Article 246A, while overriding the provisions contained in articles 246
and 254 deals with the grant of powers to the Union and the States to impose tax with respect to
GST. But in case of Inter-State trade or commerce relating to supply of goods or services or both,
the Union shall have exclusive powers to frame relevant laws.
Residuary Power of Legislature
Article 248 deals with the residuary powers of the legislation. Parliament has exclusive powers
to make laws on the matters not mentioned in the State and Concurrent Lists.
Constitution (101st Amendment) Act, 2016 was enacted on 8th September, 2016. Significant
amendments made by the Constitution (101st Amendment) Act, 2016 are as follows:
1. Concurrent powers on Parliament and State Legislatures to make laws governing
goods and services.
2. Levy of IGST on inter-State transactions of goods and services to be levied and
collected by the Central Government and apportioned between the Union and the
States in the manner provided by Parliament by Law as per the recommendation of
the GST Council.
3. Principles for determining the place of supply and when a supply takes place in the
course of inter-State trade or commerce shall be formulated by the Parliament, by law.
4. GST will be levied on all supply of goods and services except alcoholic liquor for
human consumption.

constituted the GST Council on 15th September, 2016.

How a particular transaction of goods and services would be taxed simultaneously under
Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST)?
The Central GST and the State GST would be levied simultaneously on every transaction of
supply of goods and services except the exempted goods and services, goods which are outside
the purview of GST and the transactions which are below the prescribed threshold limits.
Further, both would be levied on the same price or value
Intra-State Supply

GST are 18% after that Mr. B Dealer supplied this Mobile to Customer C with value addition by
20%. Calculate Price charge by A from B and Price Charged by B from C
Solution:
Supply of Mobile by A to B

Value charged for supply Mobile 10,000
Add: CGST @ 9% 900
Add: SGST @ 9% 900
Total price charged by A from B for Mobile 11,800
The CGST & SGST charged on B for supply of Mobile will be remitted by A to the appropriate
account of the Central and State Government respectively.
A is the first stage supplier of Mobile and hence, does not have credit of CGST/SGST
Further Supply of Mobile by B to C – Value addition @ 20%
B will avail credit of CGST and SGST paid by him on the purchase of Mobile and will utilise
such credit for being set off against the CGST and SGST payable on the supply of Mobile made
by him to C.

on inter-State supply of goods and services. Under Article 269A of the Constitution, the GST on
supplies in the course of interstate trade or commerce shall be levied and collected by the
Government of India and such tax shall be apportioned between the Union and the States in the
manner as may be provided by Parliament by law on the recommendations of the Goods and
Services Tax Council.

Securities have been specifically excluded from the definition of goods as well as services. Thus,
the transaction in securities shall not be liable to GST.

Act, 2016 confers concurrent powers to both, Parliament and State Legislatures to make laws
with respect to GST i. e. central tax (CGST) and state tax (SGST) or union territory tax (UTGST).
However, clause 2 of Article 246A read with Article 269A provides exclusive power to the
Parliament to legislate with respect to inter-State trade or commerce i.e. integrated tax (IGST).
What is the taxable event under GST?
Taxable event under GST is supply of goods or services or both. CGST and SGST/ UTGST will
be levied on intra-State supplies. IGST will be levied on inter-State supplies.

For example: Rajesh Apparels in Hyderabad, Telengana, avails fashion designing services of INR 50,00,000 from Kaushi Designs in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Location of supplier: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Location of recipient: Hyderabad, Telengana
Place of supply: Place of supply will be the location of the recipient, i.e. Hyderabad, Telengana.

Section 7(1) (c) defined that transaction without consideration will be considered as supply
specified in Schedule I
1. Permanent transfer or disposal of business assets where input tax credit has been
availed on such assets.
It is important to note that
this provision would apply if input tax credit has been availed on such assets
The use of the words ‘permanent transfer’ implies that the goods should be transferred
without any intention or requirement of having to receive the goods back. However,
even in these types of transactions, it is essential that there is delivery of the business
assets.

the recipient directly or indirectly controls the other, then it is considered as supply
between related persons.

between Harshit Trading and Sanjay Trading are related since Harshit Trading Ltd
directly controls Sanjay Trading Ltd.’s business
6. Both of them are directly or indirectly controlled by a third person: If in any supply,
the supplier and the recipient are directly or indirectly controlled by a third person.
For Example: Harshit Trading Ltd holds equity in Sanjay Trading ltd and Shanti

of the principal
For Example: ABC Motors Ltd. engages Asian Cars Ltd. as an agent to sell cars on its behalf. For
the purpose, ABC Motors Ltd. has supplied 20 cars to the showroom of Asian Cars Ltd. located
in Haryana. Supply of cars by ABC Motors Ltd. to Asian Cars Ltd. will qualify as supply.

Let’s Rehearse
Whether actionable claims liable to GST?
As per section 2(52) of the CGST/SGST Act actionable claims are to be considered as goods.
Schedule III read with Section 7 of the CGST/SGST Act lists the activities or transactions which
shall be treated neither as supply of goods nor supply of services. The Schedule lists actionable
claims other than lottery, betting and gambling as one of such transactions. Thus only lottery,
betting and gambling shall be treated as supplies under the GST regime. All the other actionable
claims shall not be supplies.
What is meant by Reverse Charge?
It means the liability to pay tax is on the recipient of supply of goods and services instead of the
supplier of such goods or services in respect of notified categories of supply.
Is the reverse charge mechanism applicable only to services?
No, reverse charge applies to supplies of both goods and services, as notified by the
Government on the recommendations of the GST Council.
What will be the implications in case of receipt of supply from unregistered persons?
In case of receipt of supply from an unregistered person, the registered person who is receiving
goods or services shall be liable to pay tax under reverse charge mechanism
