ANSWES: CHAPTER 1& 2: INTRODUCTION, SUPPLY

1. The said statement is not correct. State Government can notify a transaction
to be supply of goods or services but only on the recommendations of the GST
Council. Further, Central Government or State Government, both on the
recommendations of the GST Council, can notify an activity to be the supply
of goods and not supply of services or supply of services and not supply of
goods or neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services.

2. Yes. It qualifies as a supply.


Sec 7(1)(c) read with Schedule 1 of CGST Act, 2017 says that supply of goods
or services between related persons is treated as supply even if it is without
consideration.
As per explanation to Sec 15 of CGST Act, 2017, person shall be deemed to be
related person if one of them directly or indirectly controls the other. Since Sun
Ltd. has controlling rights of Moon Ltd. it means it directly controls Moon Ltd.
They will be treated as a related persons and the said transaction will qualify
as supply.

3. Section 7(1)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017 stipulates that in order to qualify as
supply:
(a) Supply should be of goods and/or services.
(b) Supply should be made for a consideration.
(c) Supply should be made in the course or furtherance of business.
Further, Schedule I read with S.7(1)(c) of the CGST Act, 2017 illustrates the
activities to be treated as supply even if made without consideration. Para 1
of schedule I says permanent transfer or disposal of business assets where input
tax credit has been availed on such assets, i.e. said activity is to be treated as
supply even if made without consideration. In view of said provisions,
permanent transfer of air conditioners by Sahab Sales from its stock for
personal use at its residence, though without consideration, would amount to
supply.
However, sale of air-conditioner by Aakash to Sahab Sales will not qualify as
supply under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 as although it is made for a
consideration, but its not in the course or furtherance of business.

4. (a) Section 7 of the CGST Act, inter alia, provides that supply must be made
for a consideration except the activities specified in Schedule I and in course
or furtherance of business. Since, both these elements missing, donation of
clothes and toys to children living in slum area would not amount to supply
under section 7 of the CGST Act.

(b) Schedule I of CGST Act, inter alia, stipulates that supply of goods or services
or both between related persons or between distinct persons as specified in
section 25, is supply even without consideration provided it is made in the
course or furtherance of business. Further, where a person who has obtained
or is required to obtain registration in a State in respect of an establishment,
has an establishment in another State, then such establishments shall be
treated as establishments of distinct persons [Section 25 of the CGST Act]. In
view of the same, factory and depot of Sulekha Manufacturers are
establishments of two distinct persons. Therefore, supply of goods from Delhi
factory of Sulekha Manufacturers to Mumbai Depot without consideration, but
in course/furtherance of business, is supply under section 7 of the CGST Act.

(c) Schedule I of CGST Act, inter alia, stipulates that import of services by a
taxable person from a related person located outside India, without
consideration is treated as supply if it is provided in the course or furtherance
of business. In the given case, Raman has received legal services from his
brother free of cost in a personal matter and not in course or furtherance of
business. Hence, services provided by Raman’s brother to him would not be
treated as supply under section 7 of the CGST Act.

(d) In the above case, if Raman has taken advice with regard to his business
unit, services provided by Raman’s brother to him would not be treated as
supply under section 7 of the CGST Act as the same are provided in course or
furtherance of business since it is not received from a related person. Brother
can be a related person only if he is wholly or mainly dependent.

5. Under composite supply, two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or


both, or any combination thereof, are naturally bundled and supplied in
conjunction with each other, in the ordinary course of business, one of which
is a principal supply [Section 2(30) of the CGST Act]. In view of the same,
(a) since, supply of breakfast and dinner with the accommodation in the hotel
are naturally bundled, said supplies qualify as ‘composite supply’.

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 2


2
(b) since supply of toothbrush along-with the toothpaste are not naturally
bundled, said supplies do not qualify as ‘composite supply’.

6. No it does not qualify as supply


As per sec 2(52), goods mean every kind of movable property other than
money and securities but includes actionable claims, growing crops, grass and
thing attached to or forming part of the land which are agreed to be severed
before supply or under a contract of supply
Hence, actionable claims are covered in definition of goods. However
schedule III specifically excludes actionable claims other than lottery,
gambling and betting from the scope of supply. There for transfer of unsecured
loans would not amount to supply.

7. The following elements are required to be satisfied for a supply to be


chargeable to GST, i.e.-
a) the activity involves supply of goods or services or both;
b) the supply is for a consideration unless otherwise specifically provided
for;
c) the supply is made in the course or furtherance of business;
d) the supply is a taxable supply; and
e) t h e supply is made by a taxable person.

8. Yes, transfer of stock made by Modest Ltd. are taxable under GST. The
definition of supply given under section 7 of CGST Act, 2017 is an inclusive one.
It does not specify that supply is to be made by one person to the another. So,
self-supplies are to be treated as supply in terms of section 7 of CGST Act.
Further, section 25(5) provides that where a person who has obtained or is
required to obtain registration in a State or Union territory in respect of an
establishment, has an establishment in another State or Union territory, then
such establishments shall be treated as establishments of distinct persons.
Clause (2) of Schedule I of CGST Act, 2017 inter alia provides that supply of
goods between distinct persons as specified in section 25 made in the course
or furtherance of business is to treated as supply even if made without
consideration.
Inter-state self-supplies such as stock transfers, branch transfers or consignment
sales shall be taxable under IGST even though such transactions may not
involve payment of consideration. Every supplier is liable to register under the
GST law in the State or Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply
of goods or services or both in terms of Section 22 of the CGST Act. However,

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 3

intra-state self- supplies are not taxable subject to not opting for registration as
business vertical.

9. Printing of books, pamphlets, brochures, annual reports, and the like, where
only content is supplied by the publisher or the person who owns the usage
rights to the intangible inputs while the physical inputs including paper used for
printing belong to the printer, supply of printing [of the content supplied by the
recipient of supply] is the principal supply and therefore such supplies would
constitute supply of service falling under heading 9989 of the scheme of
classification of services.
While, supply of printed envelopes, letter cards, printed boxes, tissues, napkins,
wall paper etc. falling under Chapter 48 or 49, printed with design, logo etc.
supplied by the recipient of goods but made using physical inputs including
paper belonging to the printer, predominant supply is that of goods and the
supply of printing of the content [supplied by the recipient of supply] is ancillary
to the principal supply of goods and therefore such supplies would constitute
supply of goods falling under respective headings of Chapter 48 or 49 of the
Customs Tariff.
10. The view taken by ABC Consultancy is not valid in law. The scope of supply is
defined by section 7(1) of CGST Act, 2017. It includes deemed supply given
under Schedule II. The paragraph 5(e) of Schedule II provides that agreeing to
the obligation to refrain from an act, or to tolerate an act or a situation, or to
do an act is treated as supply of service.
Thus, any consideration received for agreeing to the obligation to refrain from
an act, is subject to GST. Consideration received for non-compete agreement
is deemed as consideration for supply of services Consideration of ₹ 45 lakh
received on the promise of ABC consultancy of not providing similar services
to any other person, is consideration for supply which is chargeable to GST.
11. Supply, under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia,
• includes import of services for a consideration
• even if it is not in the course or furtherance of business.
In the given case pragati received services from Unnati for consideration and
activity of import of service would amount to supply u/s 7 of the CGST Act,
2017 even if for personal purpose.
Even if the they are sisters if there is no consideration and it is not in the course
or furtherance of supply it will not be treated as supply under section 7 of CGST
act 2017.

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 4


4
But if they are wholly or mainly dependent as sisters and consideration is not
there and importation of service is in the course or furtherance of business in
India it will be treated as supply under para 4 schedule I of Section 7.
12. (i) Supply, under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia,
• includes import of services for a consideration
• even if it is not in the course or furtherance of business.
Thus, although the import of service for consideration by Miss. Shriniti Kaushik is
not in course or furtherance of business, as the vaastu consultancy service has
been availed in respect of residence, it would amount to supply.
(ii) Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Schedule I provides that import
of services by a taxable person from a related person located outside India,
without consideration is treated as supply if it is provided in the course or
furtherance of business. In the given case, import of service without
consideration by Miss Shriniti from her son – Mr. Varun [son, being member of
the same family, is a related person] will not be treated as supply as it is not in
course or furtherance of business.
(iii) Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Schedule I provides that import
of services by a taxable person from a related person located outside India,
without

CHAPTER 2 : CHARGE
13. The advice given by M/s X & Sons is not valid in law. The reverse charge
mechanism applies to supplies of both goods and services, as notified by the
Government on the recommendations of the GST Council vide section
9(3)/5(3) of CGST/IGST Act, 2017. Notification No. 4/2017-Central Tax (Rate)

8. Tripura
If Pepper & Salt Ltd. is registered in Arunachal Pradesh, it can not avail the

financial year (80 lakhs) exceeds the threshold limit (75 lakhs).

15. No. The option availed shall lapse from the day on which his aggregate
turnover during the financial year exceeds 1.50 Crore vide section 10(3) of
CGST Act, 2017.
He is required to file an intimation for withdrawal from the scheme in prescribed
form within 7 days from the day on which the threshold limit has been crossed.

16. (a) Since GST on services provided or agreed to be provided by an arbitral


tribunal to any business entity located in the taxable territory is payable under
reverse charge, in the given case, GST is payable by the recipient - business
entity.
(b) GST on sponsorship services provided by any person to any body corporate
or partnership firm located in the taxable territory is payable under reverse
charge. Since in the given case, services have been provided to an individual,
reverse charge provisions will not be attracted. GST is payable under forward

provisions will be attracted.

company is under RCM. A2Z Pvt. Ltd. Company is liable to pay GST to Govt.

18. (i) A supplier of services engaged in the supplies other than the supplies
referred to in clause (b) of paragraph 6 of Schedule II of CGST Act i.e.
supply by way of or as part of any service or in any other manner
whatsoever, of goods, being food or any other article for human
consumption or any drink, is not eligible for composition levy. Since Mohan
provides legal services, he is not eligible for composition scheme.
(ii) Since supplier of inter-State outward supplies of goods is not eligible for
composition levy, Sugam Manufacturers is not eligible for composition levy.
19. A registered person with an aggregate turnover in a preceding financial
year up to 150 lakh is eligible for composition levy in Delhi. Since the
aggregate turnover of Mohan Enterprises does not exceed 150 lakh, it is
eligible for composition levy in the current year.
However, all registered persons having the same Permanent Account Number
(PAN) have to opt for composition scheme. If one such registered person opts
for normal scheme, others become ineligible for composition scheme. Thus,
Mohan Enterprises either have to opt for composition levy for both the verticals
or under normal levy for both the verticals.
20. The composite tax liability of True limited shall be as under:
(1)Computation of aggregate turnover and composite tax

If they are trading concern GST is payable on taxable turnover in a state that
is 69 Lakhs*1% = 69,000.
Exempted Supply includes supply for which tax is exempted by exemption
notification u/s 11 of CGST Act 2017 or S.6 of IGST Act 2017, Nil rated supply
and non taxable supply.
21. As per Sec 10 (2) of CGST Act 2017, a manufacturer cannot opt for
composition scheme if he is engaged in making any interstate outward
supply of goods. In this case, PQR Ltd. has effected inter state taxable
supply of goods worth Rs. 5,00,000. Hence it cannot opt for composition
scheme.
22. According to Sec 10 (2), of CGST Act 2017, all registered persons having
same PAN have to opt for composition scheme. If one opts for regular levy
for one registered place, others become ineligible for composition levy.
Thus, Class Ltd. cannot opt for composition scheme in Goa. and pay
normal tax in Kerala.
23. As per section 10(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, a registered person, whose
aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not exceed ₹ 1.50
crore, may opt to pay, in lieu of the tax payable by him, an amount
calculated at such rate as may be prescribed, but not exceeding,–– (a)
0.50% of the turnover in State/ Union territory in case of a manufacturer,
(b) 2.5% of the turnover in State/ Union territory in case of persons engaged in
making supplies referred to in clause (b) of paragraph 6 of Schedule II
(restaurant services), and
(c) 0.5% of the taxable turnover in State/ Union territory in case of other
suppliers.

Further, sub-section (2) of section 10 lays down that the registered person
shall be eligible to opt for composition levy if:—
(a) he is not engaged in the supply of services other than restaurant services;

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 8


8
(b) he is not engaged in making any supply of goods which are not leviable
to tax under CGST Act; 2017
(c) he is not engaged in making any inter-State outward supplies of goods;
(d) he is not engaged in making any supply of goods through an electronic
commerce operator who is required to collect tax at source under section
52; and
(e) he is not a manufacturer of such goods as may be notified by the
Government on the recommendations of the Council.
Basis above provisions, a firm of Chartered Accountants, being a supplier of
professional services (other than restaurant services) is not eligible to apply for
composition scheme. Therefore, it has to discharge its tax liability under
regular provisions at the applicable rates.
(a) The answer will not change even if the turnover of the firm had been ₹ 90
lakh since the ineligibility of the firm to opt for composition scheme is not
linked with the turnover of the firm, but with the nature of the services
supplied by the firm.
(b) The answer will not change even if the firm is providing support service to
restaurants. They can opt for Composition levy scheme only if they are
restaurants.
24. The action taken by proper officer is valid in law. Section 10(1) of CGST
Act, 2017 inter alia provides that the benefit of composition levy can be
availed by a registered person if the aggregate turnover in the preceding
financial year does not exceed ₹ 1.5 crore. However, the said threshold is
reduced to ₹ 75 lakh in case of special category states. Further, section
10(2) inter alia specifies that registered person is eligible to opt for
composition levy if he is not engaged in making any inter-state outward
supplies of goods.
In the present case, Mr. Zaid is engaged in making inter-State outward
supplies of goods. So, he is not eligible to opt for composition levy
irrespective of aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year.

Moreover, section 10(5) provides that if a person who has paid under
composition levy is found as not being eligible for compounding then
such person shall be liable to penalty to an amount equivalent to the tax
payable by him under the provisions of the Act i.e., as a normal taxable
person and that this penalty shall be in addition to the tax payable by
him. Thus, levy of penalty on Mr. Zaid is valid in law in terms of section
10(5).
25. Section 10 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that a registered person,
whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not
exceed ₹ 1.5 crore (₹ 75 lakh in Special Category States except Assam,
Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir), may opt to pay, in lieu of
the tax payable by him, an amount calculated at the specified rates.
However, if, inter alia, such registered person is engaged in the supply of
services other than restaurant services, he shall not be eligible to opt for

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 9


9
composition levy. In the given case, since Mr. Ajay is a supplier of repair
services, he is not eligible for composition scheme even though his
aggregate turnover in the preceding FY does not exceed ₹ 1.5 crore.
Therefore, he has to discharge his tax liability under regular provisions at
the applicable rates.
However, with effect from 01.04.2019, Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R)
dated 07.03.2019 has provided an option to a registered person whose
aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is upto ₹ 50 lakh and
who is not eligible to pay tax under composition scheme, to pay tax @ 3%
[Effective rate 6% (CGST+ SGST/UTGST)] on first supplies of goods and/or
services upto an aggregate turnover of ₹ 50 lakh made on/after 1st April
in any FY, subject to specified conditions. Thus, in view of the above-
mentioned provisions, Mr. Ajay is eligible to avail the benefit of
concessional payment of tax under Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R) dated
07.03.2019 as his aggregate turnover in the preceding FY does not
exceed ₹ 50 lakh and he is not eligible to opt for the composition
scheme. Thus, the amount of tax payable by him under Notification No.
2/2019 CT (R) dated 07.03.2019 is ₹ 2,10,000 [6% of ₹ 35 lakh]. A registered
person cannot opt for Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R) dated 07.03.2019, if
inter alia, he is engaged in making any inter-State outward supplies.
However, there is no restriction on inter-State procurement of goods.
Hence, answer will remain the same even if Mr. Ajay procures few items
from neighbouring State of Madhya Pradesh.
26. As per section 10 of the CGST Act, 2017, the following registered persons,
whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not
exceed ₹ 1.5 crore, may opt to pay tax under composition levy.
(a) Manufacturer,
(b) Persons engaged in making supplies referred to in clause (b) of
paragraph 6 of Schedule II (restaurant services), and
(c) Any other supplier eligible for composition levy.
Thus, essentially, the composition scheme can be availed in respect of
goods and only one service namely, restaurant service. However, the
scheme permits supply of other marginal services for a specified value
along with the supply of goods and restaurant service, as the case may
be. Such marginal services can be supplied for a value up to 10% of the
turnover in the preceding year or ₹ 5 lakh, whichever is higher. Further, the
registered person should not be engaged in making any inter-State
outward supplies of goods.
Furthermore, an option of availing benefit of concessional payment of tax
has been provided to a registered person whose aggregate turnover in
the preceding financial year is upto ₹ 50 lakh and who is not eligible to
pay tax under composition scheme. Said person can pay tax @ 3%
[Effective rate 6% (CGST+ SGST/UTGST)] on first supplies of goods and/or
services up to an aggregate turnover of ₹ 50 lakh made on/after 1st

10
April in any financial year (FY), subject to specified conditions vide
Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R) dated 07.03.2019 as amended. One of such
condition is that the registered person should not be engaged in making
any inter-state outward taxable supplies. In view of the above-mentioned
provisions, the answer to the given independent cases is as under:
(a) The turnover limit for composition scheme in case of Jaipur
(Rajasthan) is ₹1.5 crore. Thus, M/s Devlok can opt for composition
scheme as its aggregate turnover is less than ₹1.5 crore. Further, since the
registered person opting for composition scheme can also supply services
(other than restaurant services) for a value up to 10% of the turnover in
the preceding year or ₹ 5 lakh, whichever is higher, in the current financial
year, M/s Devlok can supply repair services up to a value of ₹13 lakh [10%
of ₹130 lakh or ₹5 lakh, whichever is higher] in the current financial year.
(b)In the given case:
(i) the turnover in the preceding year is less than the eligible turnover limit,
i.e. ₹ 1.5 crore.
(ii) the supplier is engaged in providing restaurant service which is an
eligible supply under composition scheme.
(iii) the supplier wants to engage in trading of goods which is also an
eligible supply under composition scheme.
Thus, M/s Narayan & Sons is eligible for composition scheme.
(c) The turnover limit for composition scheme in case of Uttarakhand is ₹
75 lakh. Further, a registered person who is exclusively engaged in
supplying services other than restaurant services are not eligible for
composition scheme. Thus, M/s Indra & bro cannot opt for composition
scheme. Further, the benefit of concessional tax payment under
Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R) dated 07.03.2019 is available in case of a
registered person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial
year does not exceed ₹ 50 lakh. Thus, in view of the above- mentioned
provisions, M/s Indra & bro cannot avail the benefit of concessional tax
payment as its aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is more
than ₹ 50 lakh.
(d) An exclusive service provider can opt for the composition scheme
only if he is engaged in supply of restaurant services. The composition
scheme permits supply of marginal services for a specified value, but only
when the same are supplied along with goods and/or restaurant service.
Since M/s Him Naresh is exclusively engaged in supply of services other
than restaurant services, it is not eligible for composition scheme even
though its turnover in the preceding year is less than ₹ 75 lakh, the eligible
turnover limit for Uttarakhand.
However, since M/s Him Naresh is not eligible to opt for composition
scheme, its aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year does not
exceed ₹ 50 lakh and it is exclusively engaged in supply of services other
than restaurant services, M/s Him Naresh is entitled to avail benefit of

Time of supply of service taxable under reverse charge is the earlier of the
following two dates in terms of section 13(3):

• Date of payment

• 61st day from the date of issue of invoice

In this case, the date of payment precedes 61st day from the date of issue of
invoice by the supplier of service. Hence, the date of payment, that is 17th June,
will be treated as the time of supply of service [Section 13(3)(a)].

38. Since the invoice has not been issued within the prescribed time period,
time of supply of service will be the earlier of the following two dates in
terms of section 13(2)(b):

• Date of provision of service

• Date of receipt of payment

The payment was received on 5th January and the service was provided on 23rd
April. Therefore, the date of payment, i.e., 5th January is the time of supply of the
service in this case.

39. Time of supply of goods is the earlier of the following two dates in terms of
section 12(2):

• Date of issue of invoice/last date on which the invoice is required to be issued

• Date of receipt of payment (Omitted by Notification 66/2017)

In this case since the invoice has not been issued, the time of supply will be the
last date on which the invoice is required to be issued.

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 17


17
The invoice for supply of goods must be issued on or before the despatch of
goods i.e., on 2nd August. Since there is no evidence of receipt of payment, time
of supply of the goods will be 2nd August, the date when the invoice should have
been issued.

40. Time of supply of goods is the earlier of the following two dates in terms of
section 12(2):

• Date of issue of invoice/last date on which the invoice is required to be issued

• Date of receipt of payment (Omitted by Notification 66/2017)

In this case,

Date of invoice: 2nd December

Due date of Invoice : 7th December (Being date of delivery of goods)

Hence, the time of supply will be 2nd December.

41. As the coupons can be used for a variety of food items, which are taxed
at different rates, the supply cannot be identified at the time of purchase
of the coupons. Therefore, the time of supply of the coupons is the date of
their redemption in terms of section 12(4).

42. Time of supply of services that are taxable under reverse charge is earliest
of the following two dates in terms of section 13(3):

• Date of payment [3rd November]

• 61st day from the date of issue of invoice [19th April]

The date of payment comes subsequent to the 61st day from the issue of invoice
by the supplier of service. Therefore, the 61st day from supplier’s invoice has to be
taken as the time of supply. This fixes 19th April as the time of supply.

43. The time of supply of services, if the invoice is not issued in time, is the date
of payment or the date of provision of service, whichever is earlier [Section
13(2)(b)]. In this case, the service is provided on 5th September but not
invoiced within the prescribed time limit. Therefore, the date of provision of
service, i.e., 5th September, will be the time of supply.

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 18

44. Where it is not possible to determine the time of supply in terms of date of
invoice or date of provision of service or date of receipt of payment or
date of receipt of services in the books of account of the recipient, and
where periodical return is not to be filed (Mr. XYZ, being an employee in a
multi-national company, is not a registered person), the date of payment
of tax is taken as the time of supply [Section 13(5)(b)].
Therefore, the date when Mr. XYZ pays the GST will be the time of supply.

45. In case of supply of vouchers by a supplier, the time of supply shall be the
date of issue of voucher, if the supply is identifiable at that point. In this
case the supply of goods i.e. cell phone is identifiable with the voucher,
hence time of supply shall be the date of issue of such vouchers by PQR
Ltd. i.e.25/02/2018.

46. In case of supply of vouchers by a supplier, the time of supply shall be the
date of redemption of voucher, if the supply is not identifiable at the time
of issue of voucher. In this case, since the supply is not identified at the time
of issue of voucher. The holder of voucher can purchase anything from
Flipkart. Hence, time of supply is date of redemption of voucher i.e, the
date of purchase of goods by the holder of voucher i.e, 06/06/2019.

47. Kanu&Kanu of India and Prince Ltd. of US are “associated enterprises” as


per Section 92A of Income Tax Act, 1961. Since, Indian Company holds 69%
shareholding of Hungarian based company, Section 13(3) of the CGST Act,
2017 gets attracted. As per Section 13(3) of CGST Act,2017, in case of
supply by associated enterprises, where the supplier of service is located
outside India, the time of supply shall be the earlier of-
(a) The date of entry in the books of account of the recipient of supply; or
(b) The date of payment,
Therefore, the time of supply shall be 29-12-2018

48. As per section 12(6) of CGST Act, 2017, the time of supply with regard to an
addition in value on account of interest, late fee or penalty or delayed
payment of consideration shall be the date on which the supplier received
such additional consideration.
Thus, time of supply in respect of interest would be the date on which the
supplier has received such additional consideration, i.e. 02.02.2018. Further,
Mr. P is required to make payment on or before 20th of March, 2018.

49. i) As per section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with the CGST Rules, 2017,
in case of taxable supply of services, invoices should be issued before or
after the provision of service, but within a period of 30 days [45 days in
case of insurer/ banking company or financial institutions including
NBFCs] from the date of supply of service.

In view of said provisions, in the present case, the tax invoice should have
been issued in the prescribed time limit of 30 days from the date of supply of
service i.e. upto 03.02.20XX. However, the invoice has been issued on
10.02.20XX.

In such a case, the time of supply as per section 13 of the CGST Act, 2017
would be 04.01.20XX i.e. earliest of the following:

. (a) Date of provision of service (04.01.20XX)

. (b) Date of receipt of payment (11.02.20XX)

ii) Section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with the CGST Rules, 2017, inter alia,
provides that tax invoice shall contain the following particulars-

. (a) Total value of supply of goods or services or both;

. (b) Rate of tax (central tax, State tax, integrated tax, Union territory tax or
cess);

. (c) Amount of tax charged in respect of taxable goods or services


(central tax, State tax, integrated tax, Union territory tax or cess);

The objection raised by the tax consultant of Royal Fashions suggesting that
the amount of tax charged in respect of the taxable supply should be shown
separately in the invoice raised by Aura Beauty Services Ltd., is valid in law. In
the present case, the tax amount has not been shown separately in the
invoice.

50. As per S. 13(3) Time of supply for recipient of service under RCM is earlier
of following dates
- Date of payment or
- 61st Day from Date of Invoice

In the given Question

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 20


20
Date of payment is 4th September 2018.

61st Day from Date of Invoice is 23rd September 2018.

Hence time of supply will be 4th September 2018.

VALUE OF SUPPLY
51. Section 15(2) mandates the addition of certain elements to transaction
value to arrive at taxable value. Clause (c) of section 15(2) specifies that
amount charged for anything done by the supplier in respect of the supply
at the time of or before delivery of goods or supply of services shall be
included in taxable value.

Since AKJ Foods Pvt. Ltd. does the testing before the delivery of goods, the
charges therefore will be included in the taxable value. Therefore, AKJ Foods
Pvt. Ltd.’s argument is not correct. The testing fee should be added to the price
to arrive at taxable value of the consignment.

52. As per section 15(2)(e), the value of a supply includes subsidies directly
linked to the price, excluding State Government and Central Government
subsidies. In this case, the subsidy is not from the Government but is from a
philanthropic association. Therefore, the subsidy is to be added back to
the price to arrive at the taxable value, which comes to ₹ 5 lakh a year.
53. This is a supply that is valued as per transaction value under section 15(1)
as the price is the sole consideration for the supply and the supply is made
to unrelated person. The concept of transaction value has been
expanded to include certain elements like interest which are actually
payable. Once waived, the interest is not payable and is therefore, not to
be added to transaction value.
54. The discounts were not known or agreed at the time of supply of goods to
the dealers. Therefore, such discounts cannot be reduced from the price
on which tax had been paid in terms of section 15(3).

Value of taxable supply 4,80,000

56. No, the said statement is not correct. Section 15 of CGST Act determines
the value of supply of goods or services or both. Further, section 15 is
applicable for determining value of taxable supply under IGST as well vide
section 20 of IGST Act. Section 20 of IGST Act inter alia provides that the
provisions of CGST Act relating to time and value of supply shall mutatis
mutandis apply in relation to integrated tax as they apply in relation to
central tax. Thus, section 15 is common for all three taxes and also common
for goods and services.

57. Yes, post-supply discounts or incentives are allowed as admissible


deduction under section 15 of the CGST Act. Where the post-supply
discount is established as per the agreement which is known at or before
the time of supply and where such discount specifically linked to the
relevant invoice and the recipient has reversed input tax credit
attributable to such discount, the discount is allowed as admissible
deduction under Section 15(3)(b) of the CGST Act.

Notes: (1) As per section 15(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, the value of a supply
is the transaction value i.e., the price actually paid or payable for the said
supply when the supplier and the recipient of the supply are not related
and the price is the sole consideration for the supply.
(2) The given supply is a composite supply involving supply of goods
(chemical) and services (freight) where the principal supply is the supply of
goods. As per section 8(a) of the CGST Act, 2017, a composite supply is
treated as a supply of the principal supply involved therein and charged
to tax accordingly. Thus, tax rate applicable to the goods (chemical) has
been considered.
(3) All incidental expenses including packing charged by the supplier to
the recipient of a supply are includible in the value of supply in terms of
section 15(2)(c) of CGST Act, 2017.
(4) Any amount charged for anything done by the supplier in respect of
the supply of goods at the time of, or before delivery of goods is includible
in the value of supply in terms of section 15(2)(c) of CGST Act, 2017.
(5) Any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to supply but
incurred by the recipient of supply and not included in the price actually
paid for the goods is includible in the value of supply in terms of section
15(2)(b) of CGST Act, 2017.
(6) Subsidies not directly linked to the price and provided by the Central
Government and State Governments are not includible in the value of
supply in terms of section 15(2)(e) of the CGST Act, 2017.
(7) Interest for the delayed payment of any consideration for any supply is
includible in the value of supply in terms of section 15(2)(d) of the CGST

Act, 2017. The interest has to be considered as cum tax value and tax
payable thereon has to be computed by making back calculations in
terms of rule 35 of CGST Rules, 2017.
(8) The tax liability for the month of September, 20XX will not include the tax
payable on the amount of interest as the tax liability for the delayed
payment of interest arises on the date of receipt of interest in terms of
section 12(6) of CGST Act, 2017.
(9) As per section 12(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, the time of supply in case of
addition in value by way of interest for delayed payment of consideration
for goods is the date on which the supplier receives such addition in value.
Thus, the time of supply of interest received on account of delayed

Notes:
(1) The given supply is a composite supply involving supply of goods
(special machine) and services (transit insurance and freight) where the
principal supply is the supply of goods. As per section 8(a) of the CGST
Act, 2017, a composite supply is treated as a supply of the principal supply
involved therein and charged to tax accordingly. Thus, tax rate
applicable to the goods (special machine) has been considered
(2) All incidental expenses including packing charged by the supplier to
the recipient of a supply are includible in the value of supply in terms of
section 15(2)(c) of CGST Act, 2017.
(3) Any amount charged for anything done by the supplier in respect of
the supply of goods at the time of, or before delivery of goods is includible
in the value of supply in terms of section 15(2)(c) of CGST Act, 2017. Thus,
extra designing charges are to be included in the value of supply.
(4) Cash discount was given at the time of supply and also recorded in
invoice, so the same is not to be included while computing value of supply
in terms of section 15(3)(a) of CGST Act, 2017.

CHAPTER 6 : INPUT TAX CREDIT

67. (i) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, blocks input tax credit in
respect of motor vehicles for transportation of persons having approved
seating capacity of not more than 13 persons (including the driver), except
when they are used for certain specified purposes. Since in the given case,
the mini bus has a seating capacity of 16 persons, the ITC thereon will not
be blocked.
(ii) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, blocks input tax credit in
respect of motor vehicles for transportation of persons with certain
exceptions. Thus, ITC on motor vehicles for transportation of goods is
allowed unconditionally. Therefore, ITC on trucks purchased by Bangur
Ceramics Ltd for transportation of its finished goods from the factory to
dealers located in various locations within the country is allowed.
(iii) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, blocks input tax credit in
respect of motor vehicles for transportation of persons having approved
seating capacity of not more than 13 persons (including the driver), except
when they are used for making further supply of such motor vehicles. Being
a dealer of cars, “Hans Premium” has purchased the cars for further supply.
Therefore, ITC on such cars is allowed even though seating capacity is less
than 13.
(iv) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017 inter alia, blocks input tax credit in
respect of outdoor catering services. However, ITC is available on such

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 30


30
services, when the same are provided by an employer to its employees
under a statutory obligation.
Thus, in view of the above- mentioned provisions, Sun & Moon packers Pvt.
Ltd. can avail ITC in respect of outdoor catering services availed by it as
the same is being provided under a statutory obligation.
68. In case of supply of capital goods or plant and machinery on which ITC
has been taken, the registered person shall pay an amount equal to the
ITC taken on the said capital goods or plant and machinery reduced by
5% per quarter or part thereof from the date of invoice or the tax on the
transaction value of such capital goods, whichever is higher.
However, in case of refractory bricks, moulds and dies, jigs and fixtures
when these are supplied as scrap, the person can pay tax on the
transaction value.
69. Under section 17(5)(a)CGST Act, ITC is allowed on aircraft if they are used
to make the taxable supply of imparting training on flying an aircraft.
Therefore, the credit is correctly taken.
70. No. As per section 17(5)(a), ITC on motor vehicles can be availed only if
the taxable person is in the business of transport of passengers or is
providing the services of imparting training on driving/flying/navigating
motor vehicles or is in the business of supply of motor vehicles.
71. Under section 16(2) of the IGST Act, credit of input tax is allowed to be
taken for inward supplies used to make zero rated supplies. Under section
17 of the CGST Act also, ITC is disallowed only to the extent it pertains to
supplies used for non-business purposes or supplies other than taxable and
zero-rated supplies. Supplies to SEZ units are zero rated supplies in terms of
section 16(1) of IGST Act. Thus, full ITC is allowed on inward supplies of BMT
Ltd. used for effecting supplies to the unit in the SEZ.
72. Thread 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)
Common credit = ₹ 15,000 + ₹ 5,000 = ₹ 20,000
Exempt turnover = ₹ 1 crore
Total turnover = ₹ 5 crore [₹ 1 crore + ₹ 4 crore]

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 31


31
Credit attributable to exempt supplies = (₹ 1 crore /₹ 5 crore) x ₹ 20,000 =
₹ 4,000.
Ineligible credit of ₹ 4,000 will be added to the output tax liability for the
month of July. Credit of ₹ 16,000 will be eligible credit for the month of July.
73. Mr. A is eligible for ITC on inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi-
finished or finished goods held in stock and capital goods as on 30th July.
ITC on capital goods will be reduced by 5% per quarter or part thereof
from the date of invoice [Section 18(1)(c)].

valid tax paying document.

2. As per Sec 16(2)(c) no registered person shall be entered into the credit of any
input tax credit in respect of any supply of goods unless the credit charged in
respect of such supply has been actually paid to the Govt. Since JKL Ltd. has not
deposited the tax to the credit of Govt. , no ITC can be claimed by RD Ltd.

3.A registered person shall be entitled to take ITC on goods which are used or
intended to be used in the course of furtherance of business. Since RD Ltd. has

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 34


34

on such purchases.

4.As per Sec 16(2)(b) ITC is admissible only when registered person has received
such goods. Since the goods are received in the month of Jan 2018, ITC cannot
be taken in the month of Sept 2017.

September following the end of FY to which such invoice pertains, or

(b) furnishing of the relevant annual return,

Whichever is earlier .

In this case the inputs were purchased by invoice dated 22/11/2017, hence ITC in

1. 20/10/2018 being due date of furnishing return of month of September 2018,


or

2. 15/09/2018 being the date of furnishing of annual return

CHAPTER 6: REGISTRATION
85. 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 intraState taxable supplies of
goods is as under:-
(a) ₹ 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ₹ 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya,
Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana and Uttarakhand.
(c) ₹ 40 lakh for rest of India. However, the higher threshold limit of ₹ 40
lakh is not available to persons engaged in making supplies of ice cream

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 38


38
and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa, Pan masala and
Tobacco and manufactred tobacco substitutes.
The threshold limit for a person making exclusive taxable supply of services
or supply of both goods and services is as under:-
(a) ₹ 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ₹ 20 lakh for the rest of India. In the light of the afore-mentioned
provisions, the answer to the independent cases is as under:-
(i) Raghav is eligible for higher threshold limit of turnover for registration, i.e.
₹ 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 ₹ 10 lakh. Thus, Raghav is liable to get registered under GST as his
turnover exceeds ₹10 lakh. Further, he is required to obtain registration in
both Assam and Tripura as he is making taxable supplies from both the
States.
(ii) The applicable threshold limit for registration for Pulkit in the given case
is ₹ 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.
(iii) Harshit being exclusively engaged in supply of pan masala is not eligible
for higher threshold limit of ₹40 lakh. The applicable threshold limit for
registration in this case is ₹20 lakh. Thus, Harshit is liable to get registered
under GST.
(iv) 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 ₹ 20 lakh and
hence, Ankit is liable to get registered under GST.
(v) Since Sanchit is engaged in supply of both taxable goods and services,
the applicable threshold limit for registration in his case is ₹ 20 lakh. Thus,
Sanchit is liable to get registered under GST as his turnover is more than the
threshold limit.
86. When there is a change in PAN, GST registration cannot be amended.
New registration is required for the change in PAN.
87. When a person registers for occasional business in a state, the registration
will be called as Casual taxable person registration. Advance deposit of
taxes are required for such registration.

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 39


39
88. (a) Every supplier becomes liable to registration if his turnover exceeds ₹ 20
lakh [in a State/UT other than Special Category States] in a finacial year
[Section 22]. Since in the given case, the turnover of Dhampur Industries
exceeded ₹ 20 lakh on 1st September, it becomes liable to registration on
said date.

Further, since the application for registration has been submitted within 30 days
from such date, the registration shall be effective from the date on which the
person becomes liable to registration [Section 25 read with rule 10 of the Chapter
III - Registration of CGST Rules, 2017]. Therefore, the effective date of registration
is 1st September.

(b) Since in the given case, the turnover of Mehta Teleservices exceeds ₹ 20 lakh
on 25th October, it becomes liable to registration on said date.

Further, since the application for registration has been submitted after 30 days
from the date such person becomes liable to registration, the registration shall be
effective from the date of grant of registration. Therefore, the effective date of
registration is 5th December.

89. Section 25(1) of the CGST Act stipulates the time-period within which
registration needs to be obtained in various cases. It provides the following
time-limits:

In case of registration needs to be obtained


a person who is liable to within 30 days from the date on which he

ection 22 or section 24
a casual taxable person at least 5 days prior to the commencement of

(a) A casual taxable person must obtain registration at least 5 days prior to the
commencement of its business.

(b) As per section 24 of the CGST Act, person making inter-State taxable supply is
liable to get compulsorily registered. Therefore, such person must obtain

CA Inter May 2021 GST – PREPARED BY CA LIJIL LAKSHMAN – LIJBLR@GMAIL.COM 40


40
registration within 30 days from the date on which he becomes liable to
registration.

90. A Permanent Account Number is mandatory to be eligible for grant of


registration. One exception to this is a non-resident taxable person. A non-
resident taxable person may be granted registration on the basis of other
prescribed documents instead of PAN. He has to submit a self-attested
copy of his valid passport along with the application signed by his
authorized signatory who is an Indian Resident having valid PAN and
application will be submitted in a different prescribed form [Section 25(6)
& (7)].
91. A. Section 22 stipulates that every supplier becomes liable to registration if
his turnover exceeds ₹ 20 lakh in a State/UT [₹ 10 lakh in Special Category
States] in a finacial year. However, as per section 24, a person supplying
goods/services or both on behalf of other taxable persons whether as an
agent or not is liable to be compulsorily registered even if its aggregate
turnover does not exceed ₹ 20 lakh during the financial year.
(c) As per section 23, an agriculturist who is only engaged in supply of
produce out of cultivation of land is not required to obtain registration.
92. No, a person without GST registration can neither collect GST from his
customers nor can claim any input tax credit of GST paid by him.
93. No. Every person who is liable to take a registration will have to get
registered separately for each of the States where he has a business
operation (and is liable to pay GST)
94. Yes. In terms of the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 25, a person having
multiple business verticals in a State may obtain a separate registration for
each business vertical, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed.
95. Yes. In terms of sub-section (3) of section 25, a person, though not liable
to be registered under sections 22 or 24 may get himself registered
voluntarily, and all provisions of this Act, as are applicable to a registered
taxable person, shall apply to such person.
96. Turnover limit for registration for supplier of goods in state of Jammu and
Kasmir is 40,00,000. Hence Luv&Kush Pvt limit should apply for registration
within 30 days from the date on which their turnover crosses said limit.
Since the company applies for registration within 30 days that is on 28th sep,
effective date of registration will be 5th September itself.

2. Intra state supply of goods chargeable with GST @18% specifically included for
determination of aggregate turnover.

3. Intra state supply of goods which are wholly exempt from GST under sec 11 of
CGST Act 2017 is to be included for determination for determination of aggregate
turnover.

4. Intra state supply of goods chargeable with nil rate of GST is covered under

99. As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017, a supplier is liable to be

However, if such taxable supplies are made from any of the specified
special category States, namely, States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Himachal
Pradesh and Uttarakhand, he shall be liable to be registered if his
aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds ₹ 10 lakh.
As per section 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, aggregate turnover includes
the aggregate value of:

(i) all taxable supplies,

(ii) all exempt supplies,

(iii) exports 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. Further, the aggregate turnover

charge is not taken into account for calculation 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 high speed diesel in
Delhi, being a non- taxable supply, is an exempt supply and is, therefore,
includible while computing the aggregate turnover.

In the backdrop of the above-mentioned discussion, the aggregate turnover for


the month of April, 20XX is computed as under:

Particulars Amount

Supply of machine oils in Delhi 2,00,000

Add:Supply of high speed diesel in Delhi 4,00,000

Add: Supply made through Fortis Lubricants - an agent of 1,75,000


Pure Oils in Delhi

Add: Supply made by Pure Oils from its branch located in 1,80,000
Punjab

Aggregate Turnover 9,55,000

Since the aggregate turnover does not exceed ₹ 40 lakh, Pure Oils is not liable to
be registered.

If Pure Oils made supply of machine oils amounting to ₹ 2,50,000 from its branch
in Himachal Pradesh in addition to the above supply, then threshold limit of
registration will be ₹ 40 lakh

Aggregate Turnover in that case would be ₹ 9,55,000 + ₹ 2,50,000 = ₹ 12,05,000.


So, if Pure Oils supplies machine oils amounting to ₹ 2,50,000 from its branch in
Himachal Pradesh, then also it is not liable to be registered.
