Q.1

Where the registered taxable person has claimed depreciation on the tax component of the cost of capital goods under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, will ITC be allowed in such cases?

As per section 16(10) of the MGL, the input tax credit shall not be allowed on the said tax component.

Care should be taken at the time of capitalization of assets

For eligibility of input, amount of GST should be excluded from assets value

Q 2

Is possession of a Permanent Account Number (PAN) mandatory for obtaining a Registration?

Yes. Every person shall have a Permanent Account Number issued under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961) in order to be eligible for grant of registration under Section 19 of the MGL

Application of PAN should be submitted so that no issue arise at the time of registration under GST ACT(CGST/IGST/SGST)

Q 3

Is GST applied on disallowances value of expenditure treating the same as personal nature?

Yes,

GST may be applied on supply and as per Schedule 1 of Model GST Law, following matters to be treated as supply even without consideration:

(2) Temporary application of business assets to a private or non-business use.

(3) Services put to a private or non-business use.

Taxable person may maintain separate records of expenses personal as well as for business, so instead of disallowance, same is adjusted through capital

(In case of Individual and Firm) and hence no GST

Q4

Is Input tax credit allowed on the above value (Q3)?

No,

As per section 16(5) of MGL, Where the goods and/or services are used partly for the purpose of any business and partly for other purposes, the amount of credit shall be restricted to so much of the input tax as is attributable to the purposes of his business.

Q.5

Whether taxable person required maintaining two types of books of accounts?

Debatable,

As per Section 145 of Income Tax Act 1961,assessees have two option to maintain books of accounts either cash or mercantile system of accounting regularly employed by the assesses

However there is no option under GST

Hence even if the assesses maintains his books of accounts on cash basis, his liability towards GST does not delayed and liable to pay GST is whenever "Supply" occurs as per section 12/13 of MGL

For Instance: As per section 12(2) the time of supply of goods shall be the earliest of the following four dates, namely,-

1) (i) Removal date of Goods or

(ii) Date of availability of

goods (in a case where the goods are not required to be removed)

2) Issue date of Invoice

3) Payment received date with respect to the supply

4) The date on which the recipient shows the receipt of the goods in his books of account

Even if supplier issues invoice, GST attracts

But as per Income Tax Act the assesses is not required to account the same transaction if the assesses maintain his books of accounts on cash basis

Hence it is clear that even if assesses maintain his books of accounts on cash basis the same assesses required to maintain his books of accounts on mercantile basis
