REGISTERING UNDER GST

Now that we know the basics of GST calculation, the process Important Points to Remember when of ITC claims and filing of returns, let us look at how a taxpayer can register for GST. If you meet any of the conditions listed below, you should obtain your GST registration when the enrollment reopens again [GST is expected to apply from 1st July 2017]:

• Your aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds INR 20
  lakhs (INR 10 lakhs for Special category states)\
  

• If your turnover includes the supply of only those goods/services
  which are exempt under GST, this clause does not apply
  

• To calculate this threshold, your turnover should include the aggregate value of all taxable supplies, exempt supplies, export of goods and/or services, and inter-state supplies of a person having the same PAN.

• Every person who is registered under an earlier law will take
  registration under GST too.

• Where a business that is registered has been transferred to
  someone, the transferee shall take registration with effect
  from the date of transfer

Exemption from GST Registration

The following shall not be required to obtain registration and will be allotted a UIN (Unique Identification Number) instead. They can receive a refund of taxes on notified supplies of goods/services received by them:

Input Tax Credit in Detail

When you buy a product/service from a registered dealer you pay taxes on the purchase, while making sales, tax is collected, and periodically the same is adjusted with the tax you already paid at the time of purchase and balance liability of tax (tax on sales (minus) tax on purchase) is to be paid to the
government. This mechanism is called utilization of input tax credit (tax on purchase adjustment against tax liability on output i.e. sales).

Following are some of the conditions that need to be addressed for availing ITC:

1. Input credit is to be availed within one year: Businesses
will not be entitled to take input tax credit under GST law, in
respect of any supply of goods and/ or services after the expiry of one year from the date of issue of tax invoice in respect
of such supply.

2. Generally accepted accounting principles should be
followed: The amount of credit under GST law will be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Further rules in this regard are yet to be notified.

3. ITC is attributable to the purpose of business only: In
case goods and/or services supplied are used by the taxable
person partly for the purpose of any business and partly
for any other purpose, the ITC shall be restricted to the extent of the input tax as is attributable to the purpose of
business.

4. ITC is attributable to taxable supply: There can be a
business scenario when the goods and /or service are used
by the registered taxable person partly for effecting taxable
supplies and partly for the purpose of non-taxable supplies.
In such cases, input credit attributable to exempt/ non-taxable supply will not be available. However, the amount of
input tax on zero-rated supplies will be available as credit.
