GST Invoice Facts




In its bid to allay concerns of traders on invoice generation post-GST, the CBEC, under the Department of Revenue, said: “There are some apprehensions in the trade circles that GST invoice have to be issued as per prescribed format and that issuing GST invoice is going to be burdensome process. This is not correct. Some important facts about GST provisions relating to invoice are highlighted for information of all stakeholders.” Touted as the biggest reform since Independence, the incoming indirect tax regime is aimed at creation of a common market, preventing ‘tax-on-tax’ and making goods and services cheaper.
The Central Board of Excise and Customs gave a list of facts on GST invoice:
1) All GST taxpayers are free to design their own invoice format.
2) GST Law only required that certain fields must mandatorily be in the invoice.
3) The time period prescribed for issuing invoice is different for goods & services – for goods, it is any time before its delivery and for services, it is within 30 days from the date of supply of services.
4) Small taxpayers, like small retailers, doing a large number of small transactions for up to a value of Rs. 200 per transaction to unregistered customers need not issue invoice for every such truncation. They can issue one consolidated invoice at the end of each day for all transactions done during the day. However, they should issue the invoice where the customer so demands.
5) In normal circumstances, one copy of invoice is required to be carried by the transporter. However, GSTN (Goods and Services Tax Network) provides a facility to obtain an invoice reference number and if a taxpayer has generated this number, his goods need not be accompanied by paper invoice during transportation. This mechanism helps to address frequently reported problems like paper invoices getting misplaced, mutilated, torn or lost in course of transportation of goods.
6) In order to keep compliance burden low for small taxpayers, GST law provides that taxpayers with annual turnover of up to Rs. 1.5 crore need to mention the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) Code of the goods in the invoices.
7) Keeping in view the large number of transactions in the banking, insurance and passenger transport sector, taxpayers need not mention the address of the customer and the serial number in their invoices.
8) Where the goods are transported for delivery but quantity to be supplied is not known at the time of removal, the good may be removed on delivery challan and invoice may be issued after delivery.
9) No need to issue separate Bill of supply if VAT invoice is issued for non-taxable supplies.

From 1st July anyone who has aadhaar must mention it in ITR

Much debate has been going on about whether Aadhaar must be provided in income tax return. Recently, the Supreme Court of India has said that if you have an Aadhaar Card you must mention it while filing your income tax return. Here is a brief summary of the honorable Supreme Court’s decision : Starting 1st July, anyone who has an Aadhaar Card must mention it in their tax return. Those who do not have an Aadhaar Card and do not wish to get one, for such persons, PAN will not be cancelled. Do note that returns can still be filed until 30th June 2017 without mentioning Aadhaar number. Some individuals are exempt from quoting Aadhaar, read about them  here . This decision has come in the wake of an ongoing case in the Supreme Court challenging the linkage of Aadhaar with income tax return. This is based on the premise that such linkage is a threat and invasion of ‘privacy’ of an individual and details of his/her personal income should not be mandatorily...

Income Tax 2020-21

How to calculate income tax for FY 2020-21 For FY 2020-21, an individual taxpayer has an option to choose between the old and the new tax regime. In order to know which tax regime is beneficial for an individual, it is important to know how much will be the tax liability in both the regimes. The new income tax regime came into effect from April 1, 2020. This gives an individual taxpayer the option to either continue with the existing tax regime (with tax-exemptions and deductions) or opt for  new tax regime  (without 70 tax-exemptions and deductions). Salaried individuals, who have no business income, will have to choose between the existing and new tax regimes every financial year, as per their convenience.
