2.8 Taxes
Change in law:
In the event of change in law post execution of this contract, including but
not limited to the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (hereinafter
referred to as “the GST”), Service Recipient and the Service Provider hereby
agree to renegotiate the Contract Price.
The Service Provider shall ensure that the applicable tax i.e. Integrated GST
(IGST) or Central GST (CGST) & State GST (SGST) is charged in the
invoices considering the place of supply as provided in the GST laws along
with the rules thereto.
b) “Under the Goods and Services Tax regime (GST as and when made
applicable), input credits will be available based on matching concept
between Service Recipient and the Service Provider. Service Provider
hereby agrees that all payments due to the Service Provider by the Service
Provider shall be linked to proper discharge of the tax liability by the Service
Provider within the statutory time periods. In the event of failure and non-
compliance by the Service Provider due to which the Company is not able
to avail the input tax credit, Service Recipient shall not release the payment
and the payment shall be kept on hold till such discrepancy is resolved by
the Service Provider. Holding of payments for the aforesaid reason by
Service Recipient shall not be a breach of its obligations under this Contract.
In addition to above, the Service Provider shall be eligible for the receipt of
the invoice value in accordance with the agreed terms only after the
appropriate GST is credited to the Government account and appropriate
compliances have been complied. In case of any disputes due to the non-
matching of the GST credit, same shall be resolved by the Service Provider
within 90 days of the invoice date, failing which Service Recipient shall not
remit the invoice amount.”
Anti-profiteering:
Under the GST Law, any economic or tax benefit arising out of the
implementation of the GST is mandatorily required to be passed on to the
Customer by Service Provider. Similarly, the benefits enjoyed by Service
Provider and other players in the supply chain are also required to be passed
on to you by them, which in turn shall be passed on to us by way of price
reductions. Accordingly, Service Providers are expected to pass on any
direct or indirect benefits arising thereon.
The responsibility to pass on the above benefits vests with Service Provider,
as Service Recipient’s ‘responsible Service Provider’ and Service Recipient
reserves its right to understand and determine the manner/ mechanism in
which such benefits are passed on to Service Recipient.
Others:
Wherever applicable Service Recipient has the right to deduct the "Tax
deducted at source’ at the rate prescribed under the GST law and remit the
same to the Government.
Any liability arising out of dispute on the tax structure, calculation and
payment to the Government will be to the Service Provider’s account
Where the supply of goods/ services are liable to GST under the reverse
charge mechanism, then the Service Provider should clearly mention the
category under which it has been registered and also that “the liability of
payment of GST is on the Recipient of Service”.
This agreement shall be void, if at any point of time Service Provider is found
be to a black listed dealer as per the GSTN rating system and further no
payment shall be entertained.
Any loss of tax, credit, refund or any other benefit is levied due to
cancellation of registration of the Service Provider, the Service Provider shall
be liable to reimburse such loss incurred.
