Payment of Tax – CA Final IDT Study Material
Question 1.
A makes intra-State supply of goods valued at ₹ 50,000 to B within State of Karnataka. B makes inter-State supply to X Ltd. (located in Telangana) after adding 10% as its margin. Thereafter; X Ltd. sells it to Y in Telangana (Intra-State sale) after adding 10% as his margin.
Assume that the rate of GST chargeable is 18% (CGST 9% plus SGST 9%) and IGST chargeable is 18%. Calculate tax payable at each stage of the transactions detailed above. Wherever input tax credit is available and can be utilized, calculate the net tax payable in cash. At each stage of the transaction, indicate which Government will receive the tax paid and to what extent.
Answer:
I. Intra-State supply of goods by A to B: A is the first stage supplier of goods and hence, does not have credit of CGST, SGST or IGST. Thus, the entire CGST (4,500) & SGST (4,500) charged will be paid in cash by A to the Central Government and Karnataka Government respectively.
| ₹ | |
| Value charged for supply of goods | 50,000 |
| Add: CGST @ 996 | 4,500 |
| Add: SGST @ 9% | 4,500 |
| Total price charged by A from B | 59,000 |
II. Inter-state supply of goods by B to X Ltd. – Margin @ 10%
| ₹ | |
| Value charged for supply of goods (₹ 50,000 × ₹ 1096) | 55,000 |
| Add: IGST @ 1896 | 9,900 |
| Total price charged by B from X Ltd. | 64,900 |
Computation of IGST payable by B to central Government in cash
| ₹ | |
| IGST payable | 9,900 |
| Less: Credit of CGST | 4,500 |
| Less: Credit of SGST | 4,500 |
| IGST payable to Central Government in cash | 900 |
Credit of CGST and SGST can be used to pay IGST [Section 49(5) of the CGST Act, 2017]. Karnataka Government will transfer SGST credit of ₹ 4,500 utilised in the payment of IGST to the Central Government.
III. Intra-State supply of goods by X Ltd. to Y
Value charged for supply of goods (₹ 55,000 × 110%) : ₹ 60,500
Add: CGST @ 9% : ₹ 5,445
Add: SGST @ 9% : ₹ 5,445
Total price charged by X Ltd. from Y : ₹ 71,390
Computation of CGST and SGST payable by X Ltd, in cash
CGST payable : ₹ 5,445
Less: Credit of IGST : ₹ 5,445
CGST payable to Central Government in cash : Nil
SGST payable : ₹ 5,445
Less: Credit of IGST [₹ 9,900 – ₹ 5,445] : ₹ 4,455
SGST payable to Telangana Government in cash : ₹ 990
Credit of IGST can be used to pay IGST, CGST and SGST in that order [Section 49(5) of the CGST Act, 2017]. Central Government will transfer IGST of ₹ 4,455 utilised in the payment of SGST to Telangana Government

| Total Tax Liability Payable in Cash | 58,000 | 27,000 | 2,00,000 |
Note: Services provided by the Government by way of tolerating non-performance of a contract for which consideration in the form of liquidated damages is payable to the Government under such contract, is exempt from GST. Hence, no tax will be payable by Sukhdev on such input service.
Working Note 1.
Computation of output Tax Liability of Sukhdev
Note: –
1. The operating member is providing the mining and exploration service to the joint venture, and thus, the consideration received therefor is not cost petroleum and hence, is liable to tax.
2. Cost petroleum is not a consideration for service to the Government and thus, is not taxable.
3. Supply to SEZ developer is a zero- rated supply and no tax is payable on the same if made under a bond/LUT.
4. Transfer of tenancy rights to a new tenant against consideration in the form of tenancy premium is taxable even though stamp duty has been paid on the same.
5. Since open market value of the machine is not available, the value will be 90% of the price charged for the supply of machinery by the agent to his unrelated customer (It has been assumed that the supplier has opted to value the goods at 90% of the value charged by the agent to the unrelated customer).
Working Note 2.
Computation of total Input Tax Credit
| Particular | Amount | CGST | SGST | IGST |
| (1) Inter-State Purchase of Machine (GST @5%) | 6,00,000 | – | – | 30,000 |

| (3) Renting of accommodation (RCM) (GST
@18%) |
2,00,000 | 18,000 | 18,000 | – |
| (4) Assignment, by the State Government, of the right to collect royalty from mining lease holders to the extent the exemption is not available | 2,00,000 | |||
| Eligible ITC of Taxable period | – | 27,000 | 27,000 | 2,30,000 |
| Add. Opening Balances | – | 18,000 | 12,000 | 60,000 |
| Total ITC | – | 45,000 | 39,000 | 2,90,000 |
Note: ITC may be availed for making zero rated supply even if such a supply is an exempt supply. Sale of petroleum silt, being a non- taxable supply, is an exempt supply but since it is also a zero-rated supply, ITC can be availed for making such supply.

Notes:
(1) Export of goods is a zero rated supply in terms of section 16(1)(n) of the IGST Act, 2017. A zero rated supply is supplied without payment of tax under a LUT in terms of section 16(3)(a) of that Act (Receipt of consideration in foreign exchange is not a pre-requisite for export of goods).
(2) As per section 10(1)(J) of the IGST Act, 2017, where the goods are assembled or installed at site, the place of supply shall be the place of such installation or assembly. Therefore, in the given case, the place of supply will be Gurugram, Haryana.
Since the location of the supplier (Uttar Pradesh) and the place of supply (Haryana) are in two different States, the same is an inter-State supply liable to IGST [Section 7(1)(u) of the IGST Act, 2017 read with section 5(1) of that Act].
(3) As per section 7(5)(b) of the IGST Act, 2017, supply of goods and/or services to a special economic zone (SEZ) unit is treated to be a supply of goods and/or services in the course of inter-State trade or commerce. Therefore, supply of goods to a SEZ unit located within the same State shall be liable to IGST [Section 5(1) of the IGST Act, 2017].
As Per section 16(1)(b) of the IGST Act, 2017, Supply of goods and/or services to a SEZ unit is a zero rated supply. A zero rated supply is supplied without payment of tax under a LUT in terms of section 16(3)(a) of that Act.
(4) Remaining turnover will be calculated as under
₹ 256 crore – (₹ 45 crore + ₹ 50 crore + ₹ 30 crore + ₹ 10 crore + ₹ 20 crore + ₹ 0.50 crore + ₹ 0.10 crore + ₹ 0.05 crore + ₹ 0.05 crore) = ₹ 100.30 crore Supply within the State – ₹ 100.30 crore × 3/5 = ₹ 60.18
Supply outside the State – ₹ 100.30 crore × 2/5 = ₹ 40.12
(5) As per section 25(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, a person who has obtained more than one registration, whether in one State or- Union territory or more than one State or Union territory shall, in respect of each such registration, be treated as ‘distinct persons’.
The stock transfer by Noida office to Delhi branch is an inter-State supply as the location of the supplier and the place of supply are in two different States [Section 7(1)(a) of IGST Act, 2017], Thus, the supply is leviable to IGST in terms of section 5(1) of the IGST Act, 2017. ”
Rule 28 of the CGST Rules, 2017 prescribes the provisions to determine the value of supply of goods or services or both between distinct or related persons, other than through an agent. Second proviso to the said rule lays down that where the recipient is eligible for full input tax credit, the value declared in the invoice shall be deemed to be the open market value of the goods or services. Therefore, the value of supply in this case will be ₹ 4.5 crore and open market value and cost of production of the goods will be irrelevant.
(6) As per section 31 (7) of the CGST Act, 2017, where the goods being sent or taken on approval for sale or return are removed before the supply takes place, the invoice shall be issued before or at the time of supply or six months from the date of removal, whichever is earlier.
In the given case, the time period of six months for goods sent on 15th February, 20XX expires on 15.08.20XX. Therefore, the invoice for the said goods shall be issued on 15.08.20XX and in terms of section 12(2)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 66/2017 CT dated 15.11.2017, this date would also be the time of supply of such goods. Thus, such goods will be liable to tax in the month of August 20XX. Goods sent in the month of January would have been taxed in the month of July and goods sent in the month of March would be taxed in the month of September.
The location of the supplier (Uttar Pradesh) and the place of supply (Haryana) are in two different States, the same is an inter-State supply liable to IGST [Section 7(1)(a) of the IGST Act, 2017 read with section 5(1) of that Act].
(7) The given case is an export of service as per section 2(6) of the IGST Act, 2017, as-
(i) The supplier of service is located in India (Noida);
(ii) The recipient of service is located outside India (Nepal);
(iii) The place of supply of service is outside India (Place of supply of consulting service will be the location of recipient, i.e. Nepal);
(iv) The payment for such service has been received by the supplier of service in convertible foreign exchange or in Indian rupees wherever permitted by the Reserve Bank of
India (Receipt of export consideration in Indian rupees is permitted by RBI in the given case); and
(v) The supplier of service and the recipient of service are not merely establishments of a distinct person in accordance with Explanation 1 in section 8.
Export of services is a zero rated supply in terms of section 16(1)(a) of the IGST Act, 2017.
A zero rated supply is supplied without payment of tax under a LUT in terms of section 16(3)(n) of that Act.
(8) Letting out of the building including a commercial, industrial or residential complex for business or commerce, either wholly or partly, is a supply of service in terms of para 2(b) of the Schedule II to the CGST Act, 2017. Services by way of renting of residential dwelling for use as residence is exempt from tax [Notification No. 12/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017], Therefore, rent of ₹ 10 lakh received from letting out of building for printing press will be liable to tax and rent of ₹ 5 lakh received from letting out of building for residential purposes will be exempt from tax.
In the given case, the Cold Storage Operator and not Skylark Pvt. Ltd. is engaged in warehousing of agricultural produce. Therefore, the Cold Storage Operator providing warehousing services for potatoes, being an agricultural produce, will be eligible for such exemption and services provided by Skylark Pvt. Ltd., being services of renting of immovable property (₹ 5 lakh), will be liable to tax.
The location of the supplier (Uttar Pradesh) and the place of supply (Noida) are in the same State, the same is an intra-State supply in terms of section 8(1) of the IGST Act, 2017 and is thus, liable to CGST and SGST.
(9) GST is leviable on supply of goods and/or services [Section 9(1) of the CGST Act, 2017], Securities are specifically excluded from the definition of goods and services as provided under clause (52) and clause (1 02) respectively of section 2 of the CGST Act, 2017. Therefore, sale of securities will not be liable to GST.
(10) Paragraph 7 of the Schedule III to CGST Act, 2017 provides that supply of goods from a place in the non-taxable territory to another place in the non-taxable territory without such goods entering into India (third country shipments) is treated neither as a supply of goods nor a supply of services. Thus, there is no GST liability on such sales. Further, since such goods do not enter India at any point of time, customs duty and IGST leviable on imported goods will also not be leviable on such goods.
Question 5.
Pethalal has obtained registration in the current financial year in Uttar Pradesh. His turnover in the preceding financial year was ₹ 19,90,000. He has received the following amounts in respect of the activities undertaken by him in the month of september.
| Particulars | Amount(₹) |

All the transactions stated above are intra-State transactions and amounts given are exclusive of GST, wherever applicable.
You are required to calculate net GST payable by Pethalal for the month of September. There was no opening balance of input tax credit. Rate of CGST and SGST is 9% each for all the outward supplies made by Pethalal. [RTP May 2020]
Answer:
Computation of net GST payable
| Particulars | Value | CGST | SGST |
| (1) Tax Liability Under Forward Charge (WN 1) | 2,00,000 | 18,000 | 18,000 |
| (2) Tax Liability Under Reverse Charge (WN 2) | 1,00,000 | 2,500 | 2,500 |
| 3,00,000 | 20,500 | 20,500 | |
| Less: – Input Tax Credit [Note 1] | – | – | – |
| Net GST Payable | – | 20,500 | 20,500 |
Notes:
1. GST on services provided by a GTA (not paying tax @12%) to, inter alia, a registered person is payable by the recipient of service i.e., the registered person, under reverse charge in terms of reverse charge notification. Since in the given case, GTA is unregistered, Pethalal is liable to pay tax under reverse charge @ 5% (CGST @ 2.5% and SGST @ 2.5%). Further, since said input services are being exclusively used for effecting non-taxable supplies [funeral services], input tax credit of the GST paid on the same will not be available.
2. As per section 49(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, amount available in the electronic credit ledger may be used for making payment towards output tax. However, tax payable under reverse charge is not an output tax in terms of section 2(82) of the CGST Act, 2017. Therefore, tax payable under reverse charge cannot be set off against the input tax credit and thus, will have to be paid in cash.
Working Note 1:
Supplies on which Pethalal is liable to pay GST under forward charge

Working Note 2:
Supplies on which Pethalal is liable to pay GST under reverse charge
| Particulars | Value | CGST | SGST |
| Services received from GTA [Note 1] | 1,00,000 | = 1,00,000×2.5% = 2,500 | = 1,00,000×2.5% = 2,500 |
| Legal services received [Note 2] | 50,000 | ||
| Total | 1,00,000 | 2,500 | 2,500 |
Notes:
1. GST on services provided by a GTA (not paying tax @ 12%) to, inter alia, a registered person is payable by the recipient of service i.e., the registered person, under reverse charge in terms of reverse charge notification. Since in the given case, GTA is unregistered, Pethalal is liable to pay tax under reverse charge @ 5% (CGST @ 2.5% and SGST @ 2.5%). Further, since said input services are being exclusively used for effecting non-taxable supplies [funeral services], input tax credit of the GST paid on the same will not be available.
2. Legal services provided by a partnership firm of advocates to a business entity (with an aggregate turnover up to such amount in the preceding FY as makes it eligible for exemption from registration under the CGST Act, 2017) are exempt from GST vide exemption notification.

Question 6.
Can one use input tax credit for payment of interest, penalty, and payment under reverse charge?
Answer:
No, as per Section 49(4) of the CGST Act, 2017 the amount available in the electronic credit ledger may be used for making any payment towards ‘output tax’.
As per Section 2(82) of the CGST Act, 2017, output tax means, the CGST/SGST chargeable under this Act on taxable supply of goods and/or services made by him or by his agent and excludes tax payable by him on reverse charge basis.
Therefore, input tax credit cannot be used for payment of interest, penalty, and payment under reverse charge.

Miss Nitya has following balances in her Electronic Cash Ledger as on 28-02-2020 as per GST portal.
| Major Heads | Minor Heads | Amount (₹) |
| CGST | Tax | 40,000 |
| Interest | 1,000 | |
| Penalty | 800 | |

| Interest | 400 | |
| Penalty | 1,200 | |
| Fee | 2,000 | |

Her tax liability for the month of February, 2020 for CGST and SGST was ₹ 75,000 each. She failed to pay the tax and contact you as legal advisor on 12/04/2020 to advise her as to how much amount of tax or interest she is required to pay, if any, by utilizing the available balance to the maximum extent possible as per GST Laws. She wants to pay the tax on 20-04-2020.
Other Information:-

- Ignore penalty for this transaction.
- No other balance is available.
You are required to advise her with reference to legal provisions with brief notes on the legal provisions applicable. [Nov. 2018, 5 Marks]
Answer:
Calculation of Interest:
- The Due date for payment of tax collected on 18.02.2020 is 20.03.2020.
- Interest @ 18% p.a. is payable for the period for which the tax remains unpaid in terms of section 50 of CGST Act, 2017.
Since Miss Nitya wants to pay the tax on 20.04.2020, interest payable on the amount of CGST and SGST each is as follows:
= ₹ 75,000 × 1896 × 31/365 = ₹ 1,147 (rounded off)
Amount entered under any Minor head (Tax, Interest, Penalty, etc.) and Major Head (CGST, IGST, SGST/UTGST) of the Electronic Cash Ledger can be utilized only for that liability. Cross-utilization among Major and Minor heads are not possible.
Thus, Miss Nitya is liable to pay the following amount of tax and interest as under:
| CGST | SGST | |||
| Tax | Interest | Tax | Interest | |
| Tax Liability | 75,000 | 1,147 | 75,000 | 1,147 |
| Balances in Electronic cash ledger | 40,000 | 1,000 | 80,000 | 400 |
| Amount payable in cash | 35,000 | 147 | Nil | 747 |

Determine the interest payable and receivable, if any, under CGST Act, 2017 by Divya Trader. [Nov. 2018, 5 Marks]
Answer:
Interest payable in respect of second Consignment:
Statutory Provision
- tax becomes due consequent to order of final assessment
- interest is payable 18% p.a.
- from the first day after the due date of payment of tax
- in respect of the goods supplied under provisional assessment
- till the date of actual payment
- whether such amount is paid before after the issuance of order for final assessment.
In the given case
The due date for payment of tax on goods cleared on 28.04.2020 under provisional assessment is 20.05.2020.
Thus, interest payable in respect of 2nd consignment will be calculated as under:
No. of days 21.05.2020 – 12.07.2020
Interest ₹ 1,20,000 × 18% × 53/365 = ₹ 3,136 (rounded off)
Refund receivable in respect of first and Third Consignment:
Statutory Provision
Section 56 of CGST Act, 2017 provides that where tax becomes refundable consequent to the order of 1mai assessment, interest is receivable @ 6% p.a. from the date immediately after the expiry of 60 days from the date of
receipt of refund application till the date of refund of such tax.
In the given case
First Consignment:
Since refund of tax of 1st consignment has been paid on 08.09.2020 which is within 60 days from the date of receipt of application of refund (12.07.2020), interest is not receivable on tax refunded in respect of 1st consignment.
Third Consignment:
Interest receivable in respect of 3rd consignment is as follows:
- 60 days from the date of receiving the refund application expire on 10.09.2020.
- No. of days = 1 1.09.2020 – 18.09.2020 = 8
- Refund = ₹ 1,50,000 × 6% × 8/365 = ₹ 197 (rounded off).
Question 9.
Checker not has self-assessed tax liability under IGST Act, 2017, as ₹ 80,000. He fails to pay the tax within 30 days from the due date of payment of such tax.
Determine the interest and penalty payable by him explaining the provisions of law, with the following particulars available from his records:
Date of collection of tax 18th December, 2019 Date of payment of tax 26th February, 2020
No Show Cause Notice (SCN) has been issued to him so far, while he intends to discharge his liability, even before it is issued to him, on the assumption that no penalty is leviable on him as payment is made before issue of SCN. [May 2018, (Old), 4 Marks]
Answer:
Calculation of Interest:
Due date for payment of tax collected on 18.12.2019 is 20.01.2020.
However, since tax is actually paid on 26.02.2020, interest @ 18% p.a. is payable for the period for which the tax remains unpaid [37 days] in terms of section 50 of CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 13/2017 CT dated 28.06.2017.
- Amount of interest is:
- = ₹ 80,000 × 18% × 37/365 = ₹ 1,460 (rounded off)
Calculation of Penalty:
As per section 73(11) of CGST Act, 2017, where self-assessed tax/any amount collected as tax is not paid within 30 days from due date of payment of tax, then, inter alia, option to pay such tax before issuance of SCN to avoid penalty, is not available.
Consequently, penalty equivalent to
- 10% of tax, viz., ₹ 8,000 or
- 10,000,
whichever is higher, is payable in terms of section 73(9) of CGST Act, 2017.
Therefore, penalty of
₹ 10,000 will have to be paid by Checker.
