GST in India - Introduction
1. Discuss any two significant benefits of GST.
(Source – Mock Test Paper 1- May 2018)
Solution – 1
• GST is a win-win situation for the entire country. It brings benefits to all the stakeholders
of industry, Government and the consumer. It will lower the cost of goods and services,
give a boost to the economy and make the products and services globally competitive.
• The significant benefits of GST are discussed hereunder:
1. Creation of unified national market: GST aims to make India a common market with
common tax rates and procedures and remove the economic barriers thus paving the way
for an integrated economy at the national level.
2. Mitigation of ill effects of cascading: By subsuming most of the Central and State taxes
into a single tax and by allowing a set-off of prior-stage taxes for the transactions across
the entire value chain, it would mitigate the ill effects of cascading, improve
competitiveness and improve liquidity of the businesses.
3. Elimination of multiple taxes and double taxation: GST has subsumed majority of existing
indirect tax levies both at Central and State level into one tax i.e., GST which is leviable
uniformly on goods and services. This will make doing business easier and will also tackle
the highly-disputed issues relating to double taxation of a transaction as both goods and
services.
4. Boost to ‘Make in India' initiative: GST will give a major boost to the ‘Make in India'
initiative of the Government of India by making goods and services produced in India
competitive in the national as well as international market.
5. Buoyancy to the Government Revenue: GST is expected to bring buoyancy to the
Government Revenue by widening the tax base and improving the taxpayer compliance.
2. List the central taxes which have been subsumed in GST in India?

the service is rendered,
and (i) any reference to a person to whom a supply is made shall be construed as
a reference to the recipient of the supply, and (ii) shall include an agent acting as
such on behalf of the recipient in relation to the goods or services or both supplied.

Supply Under GST
1. Discuss the term ‘composite supply’ and its taxability under GST law.
(Source – Mock Test Paper 1 – May 2018)
Solution:- 1
By CA Meeta Mangal
SCANNER - CA INTER/IPCC - NOV 2018
Solution:- 2
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,
i. Since, supply of breakfast and dinner with the accommodation in the hotel are naturally
bundled, said supplies qualify as ‘composite supply’.
ii. Since supply of toothbrush alongwith the toothpaste are not naturally bundled, said
supplies do not qualify as ‘composite supply’.
Solution:- 3
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.
Solution – 4
The following elements are required to be satisfied for a supply to be chargeable to GST,
i.e.-
1) the activity involves supply of goods or services or both;
2) the supply is for a consideration unless otherwise specifically provided for;
3) the supply is made in the course or furtherance of business;
4) the supply is a taxable supply; and

Solution – 5
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, intra-state self- supplies are not taxable subject to
not opting for registration as business vertical.

Section 7 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 of the CGST Act, 2017 illustrates the activities to be treated as
supply even if made without consideration.
One such activity is 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.

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 brother
– Mr. Varun [brother, 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 consideration is treated
as supply if it is provided in the course or furtherance of business.
Thus, import of service without consideration by Miss Shriniti from her brother – Mr. Varun
(brother, being member of the same family, is a related person) will be treated as supply as
she receives vaastu consultancy service for her business premises, i.e. in course or
furtherance of business.

change your answer?
(c) Further in the above case if both of them are real sisters & Mrs. Pragati receives legal
advice for her business & she doesn't pay any consideration then what will be your
answer?
Solution:- 10
Supply, under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia,
i. includes import of services for a consideration
ii. even if it is not in the course or furtherance of business.
Thus, although the import of service for consideration by Mrs. Pragati is not in course
or furtherance of business, it would amount to supply.
Further, 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 Mrs. Pragati from her
real sister - Miss Unnati [real sister, 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.
However, import of service without consideration by Mrs. Pragati from her sister -
Miss Unnati (related person) will be treated as supply if she receives legal advice for
her business, i.e. in course or furtherance of business.

Solution:- 11
i. 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 are missing, donation of clothes
and foods to children living in slum area would not amount to supply under section
7 of the CGST Act.
ii. 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 tre ated
as supply if it is provided in the course or furtherance of business. In the given case,
Simran has received legal services from her brother free of cost in a personal matter
and not in course or furtherance of business. Hence, services provided by Simran’s
brother to her would not be treated as supply under section 7 of the CGST Act.

Notes:
1. 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.
2. 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

included in the value of supply.
3. 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

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.

payment on or before 20th of March, 2018.

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.
Thus, section 15 is common for all three taxes and also common for goods and services.

and on 01.11.20XX, its aggregate turnover exceeded Rs. 20 lakh. It applied for
registration on 28.11.20XX and is granted registration certificate on 05.12.20XX.
Determine the effective date of registration elaborating the relevant provisions.
(Source – Mock Test Paper 1:- May 2018)
Solution – 1
As per section 22 of the CGST Act, a supplier is liable to be registered in the State/ Union
territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods or services or both, if his
aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs. 20 lakh [Rs. 10 lakh in case of special
category States except Jammu and Kashmir], within 30 days from the date on which it
becomes so liable to registration.
Where an applicant submits application for registration within 30 days from the date he
becomes liable to registration, effective date of registration is the date on which he
becomes liable to registration otherwise it is the date of grant of registration.
In the given case, threshold limit of registration for Tirupati Box Manufacturing Co. is Rs.
20 lakh as it is engaged in making taxable supplies from Andhra Pradesh.
The aggregate turnover of Tirupati Box Manufacturing Co. exceeded Rs. 20 lakh on
01.11.20XX. Thus, it is liable to get registered by 01.12.20XX [30 days] in the State of
Andhra Pradesh.
Since Tirupati Box Manufacturing Co. applied for registration on 28.11.20XX i.e. before
the expiry of 30 days from the date on which it becomes so liable to registration, the
effective date of registration in its case is 01.11.20XX.

required to examine whether any advance tax is to be paid by Mr. Neerav Kothari at the
time of obtaining registration?
(Source – Mock Test Paper 2:- May 2018)
Solution – 6
Yes, advance tax is to be paid by Mr. Neerav Kothari at the time of obtaining registration.
Since Mr. Neerav Kothari occasionally undertakes supply of goods in the course or
furtherance of business in a State where he has no fixed place of business, thus he
qualifies as casual taxable person in terms of section 2(20) of CGST Act, 2017.

(iv) Supply made by Pure Oils from its branch located in Punjab 1,80,000
*excluding GST.
Determine whether Pure Oils is liable for registration. Will your answer change, if Pure Oils
supplies machine oils amounting to Rs. 2,50,000 from its branch located in Himachal Pradesh
in addition to the above-mentioned supplies?
(Source – RTP 1:- May 2018)
Solution – 8
As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017, a supplier is liable to be registered in the
State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods or services or
both, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceed Rs. 20 lakh.
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 Rs. 10 lakh.
As per section 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, aggregate turnover includes the aggregate
value of:
a) all taxable supplies
b) all exempt supplies,
c) exports of goods and/or services and
d) all inter-State supplies of persons having the same PAN.
The above is computed on all India basis.
Further, the aggregate turnover excludes central tax, State tax, Union territory tax,
integrated tax and cess.
Moreover, the value of inward supplies on which tax is payable under reverse 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
60
By CA Meeta Mangal
SCANNER – CA INTER / IPCC – NOV 2018
aggregate turnover.
In the backdrop of the above-mentioned discussion, the aggregate turnover for the
month of April, 20XX is computed as under:
S. Particulars Amount
No. (in Rs.)
(i) Supply of machine oils in Delhi 2,00,000
(ii) Add: Supply of high speed diesel in Delhi 4,00,000
(iii) Add: Supply made through Fortis Lubricants - an agent of Pure Oils 1,75,000
in Delhi
(iv) Add: Supply made by Pure Oils from its branch located in Punjab 1,80,000
Aggregate Turnover 9,55,000
Since the aggregate turnover does not exceed Rs. 20 lakh, Pure Oils is not liable to be
registered.
If Pure Oils made supply of machine oils amounting to Rs.2,50,000 from its branch in
Himachal Pradesh in addition to the above supply, then threshold limit of registration
will be reduced to Rs. 10 lakh as Himachal Pradesh is one of the specified Special
Category States.
Aggregate Turnover in that case would be Rs. 9,55,000 + Rs. 2,50,000 = Rs. 12,05,000.
So, if Pure Oils supplies machine oils amounting to Rs. 2,50,000 from its branch in
Himachal Pradesh, then it is liable to be registered.

• In case of taxable supply of goods, invoice shall be issued before or at the time of—
a) removal of goods for supply to the recipient, where the supply involves movement
of goods; or
b) Delivery of goods or making available thereof to the recipient, in any other case.
• In case of continuous supply of goods, where successive statements of accounts/
successive payments are involved, the invoice shall be issued before/at the time each
such statement is issued or each such payment is received [Section 31 of the CGST
Act].
By CA Meeta Mangal
SCANNER – CA INTER / IPCC – NOV 2018
Solution – 2(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:
Solution – 2(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.

crossing the threshold limit of Rs. 20 lakh/ Rs. 10 lakh) vide section 22 of CGST Act, 2017.
• Where the application is submitted within said period, the effective date of registration is the date
on which the person becomes liable to registration; otherwise it is the date of grant of
registration.
• Every registered person who has been granted registration with effect from a date earlier than
the date of issuance of registration certificate to him, may issue revised tax invoices in respect of
taxable supplies effected during this period within 1 month from the date of issuance of
registration certificate.
• In the given case, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd is located in Jammu & Kashmir, a special category state.
Though the turnover limit for special category states is Rs. 10 lakh, Jammu & Kashmir has opted
for turnover limit of ` 20 lakh for the purpose of registration. Thus, since Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd. has
made the application for registration within 30 days of becoming liable for registration, the
effective date of registration becomes the date on which the company becomes liable to
registration i.e. 05.09.20XX.
• Thus, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd. may issue revised tax invoices against the invoices already issued during
the period between effective date of registration (05.09.20XX) and the date of issuance of
registration certificate (06.10.20XX), within 1 month from 06.10.20XX.
• Further, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd may issue a consolidated revised tax invoice in respect of all taxable
supplies made to unregistered dealers during such period.
• However, in case of inter-State supplies made to unregistered dealers, a consolidated revised tax
invoice cannot be issued if the value of a supply exceeds Rs. 2, 50,000.

and Salt Ltd. regarding the availability of composition scheme in the year 2018-
19.
• Will your answer change, if Pepper & Salt Ltd. is registered in Arunachal Pradesh?
(Source – Practice Paper 1:- May 2018)
Solution:- 3
• Pepper & Salt Ltd. can avail the benefit of the composition scheme in the year 2018-
19 as the threshold for composition scheme is Rs.1 Crore of aggregate turnover in

• If Pepper & Salt Ltd. is registered in Arunachal Pradesh, it can not avail the benefit
of composition in the year 2018-19 as its turnover in the preceding financial year
(Rs. 80 lakhs) exceeds the threshold limit (Rs.75 lakhs).

Turnover of the mobile phone showroom was Rs. 78 lakh and receipts of the health and
fitness service was RS. 26 lakh in the preceding financial year.

firm can opt for the composition scheme,

ii. Will your answer change, if the turnover of the mobile phone showroom was
By CA Meeta Mangal
SCANNER – CA INTER / IPCC – NOV 2018
Rs.74 lakh and receipts of the health and fitness service was Rs.18 lakh in the
preceding financial year?
iii. If M/s. Handsome and Likemi Company obtain separate registration for their
mobile phone showroom & for health fitness centre, can it opt for composition
scheme only for mobile phone showroom?
Solution:- 5
• A registered person, whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not
exceed Rs. 1 crore [Rs. 75 lakh in case of special category States except Jammu and
Kashmir and Uttarakhand], may opt for composition scheme vide section 10 of CGST
Act, 2017.
• However, he shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme if, inter alia, he is
engaged in the supply of services other than restaurant services.
i. In the given case, since M/s Handsome and Likemi Company is engaged in supply of
health and fitness service, it is not eligible to opt for composition scheme irrespective
of its turnover in the preceding financial year.
ii. The answer will remain the same i.e., M/s. Handsome & Likemi Company will not be
eligible to opt for composition scheme even with the change in the turnovers.
iii. Where more than one registered persons are having the same Permanent Account
Number, the registered person shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme unless
all such registered persons opt to pay tax under composition scheme.
• Therefore, M/s. Handsome and Likemi Company will not be able to opt for composition
scheme only for mobile phone showroom as all the registrations under the same PAN
have to opt for composition scheme and since the supply of health and fitness service is
ineligible for composition scheme, supply of mobile phones too becomes ineligible for
composition scheme.

By CA Meeta Mangal
SCANNER – CA INTER / IPCC – NOV 2018
• Will your answer change, if the turnover of the showroom was Rs. 70 lakh and
receipts of the interior decorators service was Rs. 22 Lakh in the preceding financial
year ?
• Also discuss whether it is possible for M/s. Ginny and John Company to opt for
composition scheme only for showroom ?
Solution:- 6
• A registered person, whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did
not exceed Rs. 1 crore [Rs. 75 lakh in case of special category States except Jammu
and Kashmir and Uttrakhand], may opt for composition scheme vide section 10 of
CGST Act, 2017.
• However, he shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme if, inter alia, he is
engaged in the supply of services other than restaurant services.
• In the given case, since M/s Ginny and John Company is engaged in supply of
interior decorator’s service, it is not eligible to opt for composition scheme
irrespective of its turnover in the preceding financial year.
• Therefore, the answer will remain the same i.e., the company will not be eligible to
opt for composition scheme even with the change in the turnovers as given in the
second case.
• Further, where more than one registered persons are having the same Permanent
Account Number, the registered person shall not be eligible to opt for composition
scheme unless all such registered persons opt to pay tax under composition
scheme.
• Therefore, the answer will not change in the third case also as all the registrations
under the same PAN are required to opt for composition scheme and since the
supply of interior decorator service is ineligible for composition scheme, supply of
readymade garments too becomes ineligible for composition scheme.

Solution:- 8
i. Section 10 of CGST Act, 2017 provides that a registered person, whose aggregate
turnover in the preceding financial year did not exceed Rs. 1 crore may opt for

• The turnover limit is Rs. 75 lakh in case of Special Category States.
• However, for Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand, the turnover limit is Rs. 1 crore
only.
• In the given case, the applicable turnover limit for composition scheme will be Rs.
1 crore as Andhra Pradesh is not a Special Category State.
• Further, since the aggregate turnover of the registered person in the given case
does not exceed Rs. 1 crore and it satisfies other conditions of composition scheme
namely, not making inter-State supplies of goods, it is eligible for composition levy.
ii. Since the turnover limit for determining the eligibility for composition scheme in
