FROM EDITOR'S DESK

 

 

We extend warm Diwali wishes to all our readers. The difficulties faced by the tax consultants and Tax payers in filing GSTR-2 have still not been considered by the GST Council. No relief has been provided yet as the last date is approaching quickly. 31st October has been set as the deadlines with respect to returns under Income-Tax, GST, etc. and is a crucial date for the businessmen. The last date for return filing should be extended otherwise it would create a lot of ruckus. Working days were limited this month due to Diwali vacations, and it would be burdensome to finish all the tax compliance on time. Some relief has been given by waiving off the penalty for late filing of GSTR-3B for August & September. But as we are new to GST we are still getting accustomed to the procedure and compliance and the Government should consider that. We are grateful for your response and are taking note of all the suggestions being given. Please contact us at contact@ghiya.in

  एग्रीगेट टर्न ओवर (सकल आवर्त) - दीपक गर्ग, एडवोकेट

जीएसटी के अंतर्गत प्रत्येक कराधेय व्यक्ति जिसके व्यापार का सकल टर्नओवर गत वित्त वर्ष में 20 लाख से अधिक हो, उसे जीएसटी के अंतर्गत पंजीकरण करवाना अनिवार्य होगा। केन्द्रीय जीएसटी की धारा 2 की उपधारा 6 के अनुसार संकलित आवर्त अर्थात एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर में कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा दी जाने वाली सम्पूर्ण करयोग्य आपूर्ति, छूट प्राप्त अर्थात करमुक्त आपूर्ति, माल अथवा सेवा की एक्सपोर्ट आपूर्ति जो कि एक ही पेन नम्बर पर आधारित पंजीकरण से की गयी हो, को शामिल किया गया है। यहां पर यदि कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा जीएसटी की धारा 9 की उपधारा 3 अथवा उपधारा 4 (उपधारा 4 के प्रावधानों को 30.03.2018 तक स्थगित कर दिया गया है) के अंतर्गत किसी भी प्रकार का रिवर्स चार्ज की आपूर्ति ली जाती है एवं उस पर कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा कर दिया जाता है तो इस आपूर्ति को एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर में शामिल नहीं किया जायेगा एवं यहां पर इस बात का भी ध्यान रखना आवष्यक है कि यदि किसी कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा अलग-अलग राज्यों अथवा अलग-अलग वर्टिकल के आधार पर जीएसटी के अंतर्गत पंजीकरण लिया हुआ है एवं समस्त पंजीकरण एक ही पेन नम्बर पर आधारित तो सभी पंजीकरण का टर्नओवर एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर में शामिल होगा। कम्पोजिषन का विकल्प चुनने के लिए एक करोड रूपये टर्नओवर की गणना करते समय सभी राज्यों का सकल आवर्त शामिल करना होगा, इसलिए कम्पोजिषन के लिए धारा- 10 में विषेषतः एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर को वर्णित किया गया है। अतः यदि किसी व्यवहारी का एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर इससे ज्यादा हो जाता है तो उसे कम्पोजिषन स्कीम के प्रावधान से बाहर होना पडेगा। उदाहरण के तौर पर यदि एक व्यक्ति जो कि साधारण किसान है उसका खेती से संबंधित टर्नओवर 90 लाख रूपये सालाना है एवं एक अन्य व्यवसाय जिसमें करयोग्य माल अथवा सेवा की आपूर्ति भी कर रहा है जिसका टर्नओवर 15 लाख रूपये है। यहां उक्त व्यक्ति का कुल टर्नओवर एक करोड 5 लाख रूपये हो चुका है अर्थात उसे जीएसटी के अंतर्गत पंजीकरण करवाना आवष्यक होगा एवं उक्त व्यक्ति सीजीएसटी की धारा 10 के अंतर्गत कम्पोजिषन स्कीम का भी चुनाव नहीं कर सकता, क्योंकि उसका टर्नओवर एक करोड रूपये से अधिक है। जीएसटी अधिनियम के अंतर्गत एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर की परिभाषा से यह भी समस्या उत्पन्न हो रही है कि यदि किसी कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा एक राज्य में व्यापार किया जा रहा है जिसका टर्नओवर के आधार पर जीएसटी के अंतर्गत पंजीकरण करवा रखा है एवं उसी कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा किसी अन्य राज्य में भी आपूर्ति की जा रही है तो उक्त व्यक्ति को उस राज्य में भी अपना पंजीकरण करवाना आवष्यक हो जायेगा जो कि एक समस्या भी है। एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर में उन सभी मूल्यों को शामिल किया जायेगा जिसे व्यवहारी द्वारा आपूर्ति के समय सीजीएसटी की धारा 15 के अनुसार मूल्यांकन के लिए शामिल किया गया है एवं उक्त आपूर्ति पर सीजीएसटी की धारा 9 के अधीन कर जमा करवाने की जिम्मेदारी आ रही है, परन्तु यहां पर कराधेय व्यक्ति द्वारा अपने बीजक में शामिल किये गये केन्द्रीय कर, राज्य कर एवं एकीकृत कर को शामिल नहीं किया जायेगा। अतः व्यवहारी को रजिस्ट्रेषन आदि से संबंधित प्रावधान एवं किस राज्य में रजिस्ट्रेषन लेना है अथवा नहीं, के साथ-साथ एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर को भी ध्यान में रखकर निर्णय लेना होगा। पूर्व में वैट व सर्विस टैक्स के अंतर्गत जो अलग-अलग टर्नओवर होते थे, वह नहीं रहेंगे तथा वस्तु एवं सेवा से संबंधित सभी ब्राहम्य आपूर्ति एग्रीगेट टर्नओवर में शामिल होगी।
