Introduction-<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSincere\u201d is the word when combined with the word \u201cEffort\u201d makes the road to success as smooth and reliable. Such sincere efforts are being made by the Central Government for paving the path to Good and Services Tax (GST). The government with the aim to implement the GST w.e.f. 1.4.2016 has issued a draft for persual of experts, trade associations, etc. to suggest the flaws and improvements thereupon. This draft is in form of \u2018Report of The Joint Committee on Business Processes for GST\u2019. This report is divided into three parts namely GST Registration, GST payment process and GST refund process. This article is an attempt to analyze the first part of this report namely \u2018GST Registration\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Compounding scheme \u2013 proposal needs improvement:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report states that the GST Act will provide the option to dealers to opt for a compounding scheme, the threshold of which shall be higher than the normal threshold for registration under GST. Under this scheme, the dealer shall be required to pay tax on some specified rate without entering the Cenvat scheme. However, upon crossing the threshold of this scheme, the dealer will automatically come out of the scheme and will be subject to normal GST procedure. Under this scheme, as the dealer will not be covered under Cenvat scheme, cascading effect will be there as the input tax credit (ITC) shall not be available. Further, eventhough the dealer will be paying the tax, its credit shall not be available to the buyer. Thus, the cascading effect will be there at both the ends.<\/p>\n

The intention of introducing this scheme is to provide an easy and hassle free mechanism under GST to medium level businesses. However, the cascading effect created by it is against the spirit of GST. As a remedy to this, government can introduce the mechanism of deemed credit. If the facility of deemed credit based on certain percentage of tax paid by the dealer is allowed to the buyer of goods, the cascading effect will reduce drastically. Thus, the benefit of compounding scheme will continue to be allowed to medium level businesses alongwith the reduction in cascading effect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Input service distributor \u2013 scheme can be continued:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Report states that the concept of input service distributor may continue if the GST law so provides. Under the present concept of input service distributor, if the input services are consumed at different units of the same assessees, it can be distributed by the head office if the same is registered as input service distributor. \u00a0It has also been stated that this benefit would be an exception in the GST law which will be applicable only to the services which are consumed at different locations which are separately registered.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt of the fact that Input service distributor is a good scheme. However, in our view, due care should be exercised while framing the provisions related to this scheme under GST law. Since in this law, two governing bodies will be there in respect of same input service, it would be difficult to frame provisions related to distribution. Further, the report indicates that there would be option of taking single or multiple registrations for different business verticals which would make it even more complicated. Thus, the essence of continuing this scheme solely depends on framing adequate legal provisions in respect of credit distribution.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Provisions related to Casual dealers \u2013 good but somewhat harsh:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The para 2.4 of this report talk about introduction of provisions related to casual dealers. Casual dealers are being defined as those traders who intend to do business in a state for a limited period. Such dealers would be granted registration on temporary basis and the tenure of registration will be mentioned in the registration certificate. Further, these dealers would not be allowed to opt for composition scheme, however, can avail the Input tax credit on inward supplies. The form of registration, return and assessment of such casual dealers would be separately prescribed. It has also been mentioned that the casual dealers shall be required to self assess their likely tax liability and deposit the same as an advance tax. Such amount would be deposited by way of two demand drafts (one for centre and one for state) which would be returned to the tax payer after he has discharged his final liability.<\/p>\n

The analysis of this scheme indicates that it has been introduced for the traders dealing in the seasonal items. In our view, the provision related to advance payment of tax to both State and Central Government seems to be harsh and would not let it make a successful scheme. It implies that the trader would be required to arrange money before he has made any supply and deposit the same to the government. Eventhough the excess payment shall be refunded at the time of end of tenure of registration; still, arranging money at the time of beginning of venture will adversely affect the liquidity in the hands of entrepreneurs. This will obviously discourage the new entrants and will be limited to the established businesses.<\/p>\n

It seems the provision related to advance payment of GST by casual dealers has been proposed to secure the interest of government. But due to the fact that it will adversely affect the liquidity of dealers at the time they need funds the most; an alternate arrangement can be made. This arrangement can be in form of a bond or bank security or a combined form of cash plus bond\/bank security. This would meet government\u2019s interest alongwith expediency of casual traders.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Migration of existing registrants \u2013 hard nut to crack:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report states that the traders\/service providers\/manufacturers who are already registered under any of the Central or State Acts like VAT, Central Excise Act or under service tax law governed by chapter V of Finance Act will be migrated to GST and the migration will start sufficiently in advance so that their business won\u2019t suffer during transition period of GST. It has been stated there that the details given in the existing database of Centre and State laws will be imported by GST portal and only additional details will be required to be called from them. In this regard, it has been mentioned that VAT & Central excise details consists of fields ranging from 50 to 107; while GST registration form consists of 120 fields; thus, there is gap of 13 to 70 fields. As such, the details will be required to
\nbe called from the dealers. However, the report does not talk much about the authenticity of details already available with the State and Centre. There are chances that there has been significant change in the details of assessee, however, the same has not been informed by him or sought for amendment. Thus, there are chances that the details may be incorrect partly. Also, there is possibility that there is difference between the details available with Centre and states.<\/p>\n

The reports talk about calling of additional information from the dealers. However, in our view, the government, in addition to demanding the additional information, can also ask to verify the existing details or variation in details. This can be done by designing a form which is prefilled partly with information already available with an option to amend the prefilled information as well as add the new one. Thus, a single registration form of GST should have both the options \u2013 to verify the prefilled information and wherever applicable amend the same, as well as add the new information. This will make the migration work smoother, faster and reliable. Even the experience of switching the manual service tax assessee to online PAN based registration by the department was full of errors and created many problems.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Existing Cenvat at the time of migration \u2013 Report silent on the issue:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report has talked much about the migration of existing registrants under various State and Central laws. The separate procedures have also been prescribed in the report for the purpose of migration. However, this report does not speak about the existing Cenvat balance at the time of implementation of GST.<\/p>\n

The Cenvat\/VAT balance in hand plays a significant role while paying the tax liability. This is the factor directly related to the liquidity of an assessee. In our view, adequate provisions should be made in this regard and the assessees should be informed about the same well before through various means. This becomes more important as the rate of GST will be higher and will particularly affect those assessees which are registered under only one Act, say service tax law. At present they are paying the tax @ 14%, while under GST, this rate will be on much higher side. Thus, they will need more cash balance to pay off their taxes. If proper provisions related to Cenvat transfer are not made, the situation will become harsher and will face opposition by the assessee who are presently registered under only one Act. The issue of transfer of Cenvat will equally affect the manufacturers and traders who are registered under Central Excise as well as service tax and VAT. They will have ample amount of ITC with them and more the amount of Cenvat; lower the cash payment of tax. If proper provisions are not made and informed, the cash outflow will be on much higher side, thereby adversely affecting the working capital which is obviously not desired; neither by assessees, nor by government. Therefore, the report should include the requisite discussion on the issue of transfer of Cenvat or input VAT.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Reverse charge \u2013 whether it will be complicated or simpler \u2013 nothing mentioned:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report talks of reverse charge only at one place where it has been mentioned that the threshold will not apply to the person covered by reverse charge. However, the provisions related to reverse charge shall not apply to person importing the services for personal consumption. All the other factors have not been discussed anywhere.<\/p>\n

It is worthwhile to mention here that the reverse charge is the most critical aspect of present service tax law. Also, the partial reverse charge was introduced only three years back, thus, it has not yet settled. Thus, even the giant service providers are facing difficulty in tackling with the partial reverse charge; so forget about the small and medium level service providers. When GST will be implemented, the situation will become worse as the new law will be accompanied by this complicated concept and that too unexplained in the reports like the current one.<\/p>\n

The report should have thrown the light on the various aspects like registration process, exemptions under reverse charge. The above referred discussion indicates that only the individuals importing services will not be required to take registration under reverse charge. However, it has not taken care of small and medium service providers which are presently excluded from reverse charge. It is therefore suggestible that the registration proposal should have included a detailed discussion on the reverse charge mechanism.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Brand name \u2013 important provision missing:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report has explained the proposed provisions related to threshold exemption in detail. It says that there would be a threshold counted on all India level including export and exempted supplies below which a person shall not be required to get registered. Further, there shall not be any threshold for traders involved in inter-state supplies. The
\nroad of consensus on common threshold, both for CGST & SGST has been a long one. Much debate has been on the issues related to threshold, like whether threshold should be calculated State-wise or Centrally, what should be included and what not, compounding scheme, dual control, etc. However, the entire debate does not even touch the critical issue of \u2018brand name\u2019 which is the essential phenomenon of existing Central excise law.<\/p>\n

In our view, this important factor should have formed the part of this report. Thus, the threshold should not apply on the supplies made in the brand name of some other person. Also, it would be feasible to import the related provisions from Central Excise Law since the same are old and more or less settled.<\/p>\n

\u00a0While parting:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Report of The Joint Committee on Business Processes for GST is very detailed and informative. It has been made after in depth research and analysis. However, still there is much to be included and improved. Also, such reports which are to be circulated on national level takes time, thus, significant amount of time should be given for suggestions as the process of circulation, access, reading, analysis and making suggestions is a long process and requires time. The time given for suggestions here is upto 31st <\/sup>October, 2015 which is very less looking to the quantum of information provided in the report. The haste and hurry sometimes leaves something important behind. GST is the biggest tax reform since independence and haste and hurry should not be made in such a drastic reform, particularly when the suggestions are being invited for improvement and making it more reliable.<\/p>\n
