A retail trader has turnover of Rs. 56 Lakhs in the PY. He enrolled with GST.
He is also running a lodge and it had luxuary tax registration. The turnover from lodging business is Rs. 1 Lakh only. He also enrolled with GST for this business also. Now he has 2 separate registraion in GST based on same PAN. Can he cancel the GST registration of Lodging business as his turnover is below Rs. 20Lakhs. His Declared Room Rent is below Rs.1000/-.

Respected All,

While having a comparative study between Present & Previous Taxation System, we observe that in present system of taxation the actual liability of GST is only on Common Man and not on Business Entity. In previous taxation system even business entity as end consumer was liable to pay VAT, because retail invoice was considered as end consumer irrespective common man or business entity. Thus the receipt of GST may increase but income through GST will decrease, because business entity is not going to pay actual GST on end consumed products and services.

Thanking You,

Namaskaram,

I have registered and migrated under GST based on my previous VAT and service tax registrations. Earlier i used to file nill returns for service tax due to turnover less than 9 lakhs (from Service) from the past 3 financial years. Also under VAT i used to file nill returns every month based on nill turnover. Why should i be taxable just because i have migrated from the old regime (which had provision to file nill returns) tto a new regime which is supposed be more advanced and citizen friendly. This is as per FAQ 18 of the GST registration guidelines answer. Kindly reply with references of my taxation.

Hello !

We are an advertising agency primarily dealing in advertisements in newspapers . I have to give you a detailed narration .I apologise for the same .

Our Business Model :

As on date , We have a turnover of Rs 50.00 crores .Our clients are basically from automobile industry. They give us the size , date . and the paper in which the ad would be published .We design the advertisement as per their requirements and send it to the respective papers for publication . After this we raise the invoice and send it to our clients. All publications give us 15 % commission on bill ,which is a an accepted norm as far as print media is concerned . Earlier ,we paid service tax on 15% commission "on the value before discount to our clients " and .
and was added invoice , collected and paid to the gvt .

Now , we are not clear as to how to bill our clients with GST .We request you to advise us on the following issues.

A) Purchase side( purchasing space in paper) :
1) Since print media is levied 5% gst ,we pay the publications( our purchase of space amount from publications) +gst (5%)
eg) If total bill our publication is Rs 100 ,then 15% is deducted as commission and we pay only the remaining Rs 85 +( 5% gst =4.25)=
85+4.25 =89.25 . Hope ,we are clear up to this .If not what is to be done

B) Sale Side( invoice)

Our billing method Before GST (With service tax)

Gross Amount Rs 100 ,say 10% our clients discount =90 = service tax 15% on 15 Rs of commission (since this is only our income ) 2.25
90+2.25 =92.25 net billed to our client

After GST Gross Amount Rs 100 ,say 10% our clients discount =90 = ( How to levy GST ) (as per the GST council Advertising agency is to pay 12%gst on space selling .and if use computers in designing it is 18% .

How to bill our client ?
1) Rs 100 +5% paid to our publications to get input credit and (Whether we should ad 12 % OR 18% of 15%) = (Rs 15 *12% =1.8) or
(Rs 15*18%=2.7 )

ie 100+5+1.8=106.28 or 100 +5 +2.7=107.7

Thanks and Regards
