Compliance Rating
Every person liable to pay GST shall be rated and will be assigned a
GST compliance rating score
The rating would be based on his compliance with the provisions of
CGST, SGST & IGST
The details of parameter & methodology would be prescribed
The compliance rating score will be updated periodically and will be
intimated as follows:
To the taxable person
Will be placed in the public domain
The Goods & Services Tax (GST) Council has decided that
businesses in the North-eastern and hill states with annual
turnover below Rs.10 lakh would be out of the GST net,
while the threshold for the exemption in the rest of
India would be an annual turnover of Rs.20 lakh.
The following persons shall have to register irrespective of the
turnover
Person making any inter-state taxable supply (i.e. selling outside

the state)
Casual Taxable person
Person who required to pay under Reverse Charge
Non-resident taxable person
A person required to deduct tax (e.g. e-commerce business
marketplace).
The person supplying goods or services or both as an agent of
any other person.
Input Service Distributor
A person who supplies goods or services through e-commerce.
Every e-commerce operator
An aggregator who supplies services under his brand name
Anti-Profiteering measure
In order to prevent any rise in price of commodities after goods
and service tax (GST) implementation, the Centre has proposed
an anti-profiteering measure to ensure that trade and industry
pass the benefits of reduction in tax rates to consumers.
As per Model GST Law, the central government will constitute an
authority or entrust the task to an existing authority to examine
that the input tax credits or reduction in tax rates are passed by
registered tax payers to consumers.
Tax evasion up to Rs 2 crore a bailable offence
1 Impact Analysis
Impact Analysis with respect to Rate of Tax must be done when the rates
are finalised by GST Council (This is important because the rate of taxes under
GST will be different is bound to be different from the existing rates and hence it shall
have tremendous impact on the prices of the product or services)
GST shall have a transformational impact on the Industry (As GST is levied
on Supply as opposed to Excise which is levied on manufacture and VAT which is
levied on Sales, it fundamentally alters the way of doing business)
GST shall make India a common market, thus decisions like setting up
warehouses and supply chain management shall be revisited; even
decision of setting up new units shall consider the impact of GST
2 Pricing Analysis
Under GST most of the indirect taxes are subsumed
IGST: ITC shall be seamlessly available and hence some taxes like entry
tax, LBT, CST, etc., which were hitherto costs shall be eliminated
ITC Reversal: Even certain credit reversals currently prevalent under
state VAT will be removed and thus cost to that extent will go down
Price Change: When GST comes in force; Price revision cannot be
done all of a sudden
3 Training
All the employees of the organisation shall undergo extensive training
in GST so that its implications as well as documentation can be well
understood and taken care of
Training should encompass all the facets of the GST so that
empowered employees can take appropriate and correct decisions with
the help of professionals when they face any challenge
4 Transition Issues
Migration of existing tax payers to GST
Amount of CENVAT Credit carried forward in a return to be allowed as
ITC
Unavailed CENVAT credit on Capital Goods
Pending Refund Claims
Credit on Stock
Switching from regular to Composition scheme
Any many more.
GST Council will recommend on:
a. the taxes, cesses and surcharges to be subsumed under GST;
b. the goods and services that may be subjected to or exempted from the GST;
c. the date from which the specified petroleum products would be subject to GST;
d. model GST laws, principles of levy, apportionment of IGST and the principles
that govern the place of supply;
e. the threshold limit of turnover below which the goods and services may be
exempted from GST;
f. the rates including floor rates with bands of GST;
g. any special rate or rates for a specified period to raise additional resources
during any natural calamity or disaster; and
h. special provision with respect to the North-East States, J&K, Himachal Pradesh
and Uttarkhand
Job Work
Job Work
Section 43A
Registered Taxable Person to Job Worker (No GST)
Job Worker to get registered
Turnover will be included in principal (goods supplied)
Job Worker to Customer (possible)
ITC section 16A
1 year / 3 years (if not received back / billed then the ITC amount
has to be paid along with interest)
Exempted Goods / Non-Taxable Goods (JW provision not
applicable)
E-Commerce
E-Commerce Operator
E-Commerce Aggregator
Registration
Tax Collection at Source (TCS)
Matching in E-Commerce transactions

GST The Conclusion
The target date for introduction of GST is 1st JULY 2017.
Introduction of this transformational tax reform is expected
to broaden the tax base, increase tax compliance and reduce
economic distortions caused by inter-State variations in taxes.
GST will boost economic activity and will benefit everyone.
It will streamline the tax administration, avoid harassment of
the business and result in higher revenue collection for the
Centre and States.
Compliance costs for the industry will go down.
Last but not the least, it will create more jobs.
In sum, it would be a win-win situation for everyone i.e.
taxpayers, governments, consumers, etc.
