Input tax credit under GST*

Input Tax Credit (ITC) is the important concept under new indirect tax law system, i.e. GST.  One of the major benefit under GST is that it will remove cascading effect i.e. tax on tax in the tax system. This cascading effect was removed because of ITC system. Every registered person shall be entitled to take credit of input tax charged on any inward supply of goods and services.
# *Conditions to avail Input Tax  Credit (ITC):*
*Furtherance of Business:*
Tax on those supply, which is used in furtherance of business is available for ITC. Here, the furtherance of business doesn’t mean only purchases. Furtherance of business means any supply which is used or in the course of business.
For example: GST paid on audit fee is available as ITC.
*Possession of Tax Invoices:*
Documentary evidence of tax paid. i. e. tax invoices, credit note is mandatory to be in possession of assesses who is availing Input Tax.
*GSTIN to be mention:*
Documentary evidence must contain GSTIN of both supplier and recipient.
*Delivery is mandatory:*
Mere passing the entries in books of accounts doesn’t avail Input Tax. Goods must be actually received or services must be actually availed.
*Payment to Supplier:*
Assessee who is availing Input Tax is necessarily made payment of supply along with tax amount within 180 days from date of issue of tax invoices. If assessee has not made payment of supply within 180 days, then the amount of tax which was taken as input tax credit was added to output tax liability of assessee.
Further, ITC is avail to assessee when assessee made payment to his creditor. (see rule 37 of CGST Rules 2017, read along with section 16(2)(d) of CGST Act, 2017)
# *Input Tax Credit is not available on following supplies Section 17(5)*
1. Motor Vehicle and other conveyances Except:
If they are used for providing taxable services of further supply of motor vehicle or transportation of passengers or providing services of training, driving, flying, navigating such vehicle or conveyances.When motor vehicle is used for transportation of goods.

5. Work Contract services, when supplied for construction of immovable property (other than Plant and Machinery) except where it is an input service for further supply of work contract services.
6. Goods and Services received by the taxable person for construction of immovable property (other than Plant and Machinery) on his own account including when such goods or services are used in course of furtherance of business.
# *Input Tax Credit on Capital Goods:*
Capital Goods was defined under section 2(19) of CGST Act,2017. Capital Goods means goods, the value of which is capitalized in books of accounts of the person claiming Input Tax and which was used or intended to be used in the course of furtherance of business.
The definition of capital goods is very vast now. In the earlier law i.e. excise duty. The definition of capital goods is very restricted and complicated.
Now in order to claim ITC on capital goods, there is one condition which was given in Section 16(3) of CGST, Act
"If a registered person has claimed depreciation on tax component under Income Tax Act, 1961 then no ITC of GST paid on such capital goods is allowed."
# *How Input Tax Credit is used in GST:*
GST laws levies tax in 3 form i.e. IGST, CGST, SGST/UTGST. ITC law is equally applicable to all the above three laws, But there are some rules regarding inter-taxation set off of input. These rules are.
1. *Input Tax Credit of IGST:*
Input of IGST will be used to pay tax payable as IGST, but if there is no tax payable as IGST then credit of IGST can be set off with CGST, If there is also no CGST liability then IGST credit can be used for payment of SGST. If there is also no SGST payable then input of IGST will be carry forward to next month.
2. *Input Tax of CGST:*
Input of CGST will be used to pay tax payable as CGST, but if there is no tax payable as CGST then credit of CGST can Be used for payment of IGST, If there is also no IGST liability then CGST credit Then credit of CGST will be carry forward to the next month.
3. *Input of SGST:*

Discounts under GST regime

Sec.15 of the CGST Act, 2017, reproduced below, deals with the provision of discount, as under:
“The value of the supply shall not include any discount which is given –
(a) Before or at the time of the supply if such discount has been duly recorded in the invoice issued in respect of such supply; and
(b) After the supply has been effected, if –
(i) Such discount is established in terms of an agreement entered into at or before the time of such supply and specifically linked to relevant invoices, and
(ii) Input tax credit as is attributable to the discount on the basis of document issued by the supplier has been reversed by the recipient of the supply.”
The logical inference which could be drawn from plain reading of above provision is:
1. Discount, if mentioned on the face of the invoice, can be reduced from the taxable value of the supply of goods.
2. Discount, even if not mentioned on the face of the invoice can be reduced from the taxable value, if following conditions are satisfied:
i) Discount is established in terms of an agreement before supply. In simple words, both supplier and recipient are aware and have agreed about the discount before the supply.
ii) Discount is linked to a specific supply invoice.
iii) ITC attributable to the discount is required to be reversed by the buyer or recipient of the supply.
GST liability of the supplier would be reduced if both supplier and receiver of the goods or services are aware of the discount before supply.
There will be no differentiation in GST between trade and cash discounts. In fact, GST segregates the discounts allowed into two categories:
Those given before or at the time of supply, and
Those given after the time of supply.
Discount allowed before or at the time of supply, and it has been mentioned in the invoice separately, it will not be added in the value of supply.
Example: Company offers a 10 % discount on the sale of goods worth Rs. 200. If the company mentions the discount amount (Rs. 20) separately in the invoice, the value of the taxable supply will be Rs.180 (200–20).

Q*, Can the Return under GST be revised?
*Ans* There is no any concept of revised return under GST. So, under GST, no amendment can be made in the return once it is filed.

*Q*  What the taxpayer should do if any mismatch occurred in sales after filing of return?
*Ans* While preparing and furnishing the details in FORM GSTR-3B, if the outward supplies have been under reported by the taxpayer, then the same maybe added in Outward supplies details of GSTR-3B of the next month. The payment of tax relating to those invoices must be made in the next month along with interest. Also, give the correct bill wise details of those invoices in GSTR-1 of the same month and if the GSTR 1 of that month is already filed then report it in the GSTR 1 of next month.
If the taxpayer forgets to report the details of any tax invoice in GSTR 1 then he can report the same in GSTR 1 of the next month.
Ex. If the taxpayer forgets to add the details of a tax invoice of Rs. 1,00,000 having IGST of Rs. 18,000 in the GSTR 3B of May month then he must report the bill wise details of that bill in GSTR 1 of the May. Also, he must add the details of taxable value Rs. 1,00,000 as well as tax amount Rs. 18,000 (along with interest) in the GSTR 3B of June month.

*Q*  What the taxpayer should do if any mismatch occurred in ITC taken relating to purchases made?
*Ans* Where the eligible ITC claimed by the taxpayer in FORM GSTR-3B is less than the ITC eligible as per the details of the purchases, the additional amount of ITC can be taken as credit in the next month. But if the ITC claimed is more than the actual eligible ITC, then it must be reversed in the GSTR 3B of the next month. Also the interest on that extra ITC utilized must be paid.
Ex. If in the GSTR 3B for the month of April, a taxpayer has taken the credit of Input tax of Rs.15000 instead of Rs. 20000, then remaining credit of Rs. 5000 (20000-15000) can be claimed in the GSTR 3B of the May month.

*Q*  What to do if the payment wrongly made in the different head?
*Ans* If the taxpayer has made the payment of IGST wrongly under the head of CGST/ SGST, then he needs to pay the tax under the head IGST and he can take the refund of amount wrongly paid under the head CGST/ SGST after filing the FORM RFD-01 and vice versa.
Ex. If ‘A’ wrongly made the payment Rs. 2000 in IGST instead of the amount to be paid as Rs. 1000 in CGST and Rs. 1000 in SGST, then he must pay Rs. 1000 respectively under the head CGST and SGST. Also, he can claim the refund of Rs. 2000 paid under IGST.

*Q* what is the concept of Annual return under GST?
*Ans* Annual return is returned which is to be filed once in a year by the registered taxpayers under GST. It shall be filed on or before 31st December of the subsequent financial year. There are two types for annual return i.e for Audit case and for non Audit case. For Non-audit taxpayers, it is compulsory to furnish the Annual return only. But for taxpayers having Audit under GST, it is compulsory to furnish the annual return along with the audit report and Reconciliation statement. Now how the government will bring provisions for mismatch of purchases and other provisions, only God knows!
*Q* What lesson the taxpayer should take from this?
*Ans* , being the first year of GST there are lot of mistakes has been made by the taxpayers and government. Further, the dates of income tax return have arrived but the taxpayer cannot revise GST return and annual return filing of GST has also not started. There is no any option available under the GST to revise the return. It is a difficult problem for all the taxpayers. It cannot be predicted that when and how the solution for this problem will come. The differences between income tax return, GST return and books of accounts is coming. Therefore situation of *Aasmaan se nikla aur Khajur mai atke*

EPFO

The Central Board of Trustees, EPF in their recent meeting have approved the proposal for insertion of Paragraph 68HH in EPF Scheme, 1952 provisioning Advance from the fund to a member who ceases to be in employment for a continuous period not less than one month. Under this proposal a member can avail 75% of the total fund (including employee as well as employer share) standing to the member's credit with interest thereon. The members would also have an option to withdraw remaining 25 percent of their funds and go for final settlement of account after completion of two months of unemployment under the new provision in the Employee Provident Fund Scheme 1952. At present, in case of unemployment, a subscriber can withdraw his or her funds after two months of unemployment and settle the account in one go. The move is expected to have twin advantages, allowing quick withdrawal of the money, while keeping the account active even after unemployment.

GSTN designing tools for taxmen to analyse data to check evasion

By PTI | Jun 24, 2018, 12.33 PM IST

Many tax payers have got notices for utilising input tax credit (ITC) for payment of most of the GST liability and have been asked to explain reasons within a stipulated time.

Almost a year into providing platform for tax collection, GST Network is now developing applications and tools for tax officers to help analyse data of their assessees and check possible evasion, a senior official said.

GST Network (GSTN), the company handling the technology backbone for Goods and Services Tax, has over the last 11 months provided a platform for businesses to file their returns and pay taxes every month.

GSTN Chief Executive Prakash Kumar said the next focus of the company will be on providing data analytics and improving user interface on the GSTN portal, besides developing backend system for assessment, audit, appeal and advance ruling for 27 states.

"'We are working on the analytics part. We have already started sharing with tax officers simple analytics on differences between GSTR-3B and GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A. This is a broad state-wise data generated by GSTN, based on which the officers can look into the returns filed by taxpayers in his jurisdiction and spot mismatches," Kumar told PTI in an interview.

GSTN currently only provides support to tax officers (on data analysis). And gradually we are providing them tools so that they can do it themselves... We are in the process of developing an application for Commissioners to generate data without any external help, he added.

He said the tools would enable tax officers to do the analysis themselves. "We have started work on it, We had even showed the functionality to state officers. We will be slowly releasing the tools over the next few months," Kumar added.

GSTN is also working to improve its user interface by providing systematised error messages with 'error numbers'. Once a taxpayers sees a particular error number pop up on the screen, he can call the GSTN help desk for solutions.

"Now the error message also says what has gone wrong and what you need to do to correct that. It will show a particular error number, which helps the GSTN helpdesk person to quickly identify the error that the taxpayer is committing and can guide him accordingly," Kumar said.

Since the roll out of the GST from July 1, 2017, GSTN has handled 11.5 crore returns and processed 376 crore invoices.

Currently, over 1.11 crore businesses are registered under the GST regime, of which 63.76 lakh have migrated from the erstwhile service tax and VAT regime, and 47.72 lakh are new registrants. As many as 17.61 lakh businesses have opted for composition scheme under GST.

Kumar further said that GSTN has been sending Management Information System (MIS) reports to tax officers 27 states which are categorised as model 2 states for better understanding of taxpayers in their jurisdiction.

"We have provided 27 different MIS report for model 2 states. The tax officers get to see their own jurisdiction data, who their assessees are, return filed, taxes paid. The report has daily, monthly revenue collection list in the jurisdiction, ward-wise collection list, registration details, taxpayers with outstanding liability, disposal of cases, among other things," he said.

Based on the broad data mining by GSTN, tax officers have started analysing cases where there are instances of mismatch and have been sending scrutiny notices to taxpayers whose summary sales returns GSTR-3B did not match with final returns GSTR-1 or with system generated purchase returns GSTR-2A.

Besides, many tax payers have got notices for utilising input tax credit (ITC) for payment of most of the GST liability and have been asked to explain reasons within a stipulated time. Also some notices have been sent for claiming less IGST input tax credit while filing sales returns as against the credit claims auto-generated by the GSTN.

On taxpayers getting notices for utilisation of ITC for GST payment, EY Partner Abhishek Jain said, "While these could be genuine cases for quite a number of businesses for reasons like low margins and large transitional credit pool, these notices could help check on utilisation of any ingenuine credits. Also, these could help detect fake credits claimed, if any".

CBDT proposed to seek more info while filing appeal before ITAT

If a taxpayer is aggrieved by the specified order of the Assessing Officer (AO) then he can approach the first appellate authority {CIT (appeals)}.The Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) is the second appellate authority under the Income-tax Act, 1961 for resolving disputes between taxpayer and tax department. An appeal against the order of Commissioner (Appeals) can be filed with theITATby either of the aggrieved party, i.e., Assessee or the Revenue.

Rule 47 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 prescribes Form No. 36 for filing of an appeal and Form No. 36A for filing of memorandum of cross-objections before the ITAT. These existing Forms require limited information from the appellant and have not been revised since last couple of decades. Form No.36 was last amended vide Income-tax (Fifteenth Amendment) Rules, 1993. In Form No. 36A no amendment has been carried out since its introduction.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued draft notification proposing amendment to Rule 47 so as to modify the existing Form no. 36 and Form no. 36A. Changes proposed in these Forms are in line with the changes done in the Form no. 35, a form to file an appeal before CIT(A), two years back (with effect from March 1, 2016 vide Income-tax (Third Amendment) Rules, 2016).

Just like Form No. 35, the Form No. 36 requires details of amount disputed in pending appeals before ITAT. These additional inputs are proposed to be sought in the appeal forms with an objective that could help the Dept. to design the policy for litigation management. The proposed Form No. 36 requires additional info about the disputed amount in new Form 36 which is similar to amended Form no. 35.

The existing Forms Nos.36 and 36A do not capture various informations like amount disputed in pending appeals before ITAT, delay in filing of appeal, etc. These informationsarevital for both for the department and the Appellate Authorities. Thus, CBDT has proposed to amend Form no. 36/36Aseeking more information from the appellant. Changes have been proposedso as to make these forms more descriptive and informative. The following are the key changes proposed in new Forms:

  1.Respondent information:Theexisting Form no. 36/36A seeks only address of the respondent which is used to send notices. The revised Forms requireadditional details like PAN, TAN, email ID, phone number of the respondent and the appellant.

  2.Details of pending appeals: In case an appeal in relation to any other assessment year is pending with any bench of the ITAT, then the appellant is requires to provide details of the Bench of ITAT with which the appeal is pending along with the Appeal Number and date of filing of appeal in Form no. 36. This information is proposed to be sought on line of revised Form No. 35.

  3.Details of addition and disallowance: Amount of additions and disallowances made in the assessment order and the amount disputed in appeal is required to be mentioned by appellant. In case appeal relates to any penalty order, the amount of penalty disputed in appeal has to be mentioned in the Form. The existing form does not seek such information.

  4.Details of fees paid: The Appellant is required to pay a statutory fees for filing of an appeal before the ITAT. The minimum fees is Rs. 500 and it can go up to maximum of 1% of assessed income if assessed income is more than Rs. 2 lakhs during the previous year. In the revised Form no. 36, appellant would be required to furnish details of fees paid such as BSR code, date of payment and amount.

  5.Reasons for condonation of delay: In case there is delay in filing of appeal then grounds for condonation of delay not exceeding 500 words are to be enclosed by appellants.

Bogus Balance Sheet prepared to avail Bank Loan can be basis for Addition: Calcutta HC asks to proceed against CA Firm for Inflating Value of Assets* June 26, 2018

“The matter is typical of how business is conducted in this country and why loans obtained from banks remain unpaid.” The Calcutta High Court, last week held that the addition to income can be made on the basis of balance sheet and profit and loss accounts certified to have been prepared on estimate basis to avail bank loan and having no relation with the actual. While upholding the addition, Justices Sanjib Banerjee and Abhijit Gangopadhyay has asked to proceed against the Chartered Accountant firm for inflating the value of assets of the assessee to avail the credit facilities from the bank.

The judgment dated 21st June starts with a quote that “The matter is typical of how business is conducted in this country and why loans obtained from banks remain unpaid.” Coming to the facts of the case, the assessee, with an object to avail credit facilities from the bank, submitted a balance-sheet prepared by a firm of chartered accountants by the name of Roy Ghosh and Associates. The balance-sheet indicated figures which may not have been commensurate with what was reflected in the books of accounts of the assessee. Nonetheless, a certificate was issued by the Chartered Accountants in Form 3CB under Rule 6G(1)(b) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. The income tax department, while completing assessment proceedings, relied on these figures to determine income of the assessee. On second appeal, the Tribunal upheld the said addition.

Before the High Court, the assessee contended that under Rule 6G(2) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, the particulars which are required to be furnished under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 are to be in Form No. 3CD. According to them the certificate issued by the Chartered Accountant Firm was not in Form No.3CD and the Tribunal fell into error in making observations as to the veracity of the particulars under Section 44AB as contained in the quoted passage. It was further contended that it is usual practice for a balance-sheet and profit and loss accounts to be prepared on the basis of estimates for the presentation thereof to a bank at a time prior to when the assessee is statutorily required to complete the assessee’s annual accounts.

This category of mutual funds has a 3-year lock in which incidentally is the shortest lock-in within the available 80C options. “It is important that investors take time to understand where they are investing and its impact. Most AMCs have at least one ELSS product as part of their product offering,”
#
While you can claim up to Rs 150000 deduction for investment in ELSS scheme during the financial year, there are other tax implications on mutual funds which one should be aware of while filing their ITR.#
one needs to consider these points while filing this year’s ITR:
#
=> Be conscious of declaring any dividend income if received from mutual fund dividend schemes.
#
=> Any long-term capital gains booked in equity MF will be exempt from income tax only till March 31, 2018.
#
=> Benefit of indexation: Benefit of indexation on their original debt fund investment means that the original investment is adjusted for the price of inflation and taxed accordingly.
#
=> Capital Gains of debt mutual fund arising out of sale before three years, the short-term gains are taxed according to your tax slab.
#
=> Remember to declare any short or long-term gains out of your liquid fund investments – especially due to rapid growth in instant redemption liquid fund products, there may be a significant number of retail investors who need to be cognizant of this point***
