Nobody notice that there is a big flaw on which GST is calculated?

420 views 6 replies

Normally how GST is calculated :-

Persona ‘A’ (supplier) sell in 118/- to Person ‘B’ (intermediator/trader) who further add his margin of rupees 32/- this margin includes output GST and sell in (118+32) 150/- to final consumer. Now person ‘B’ will calculate GST @ 18% on 150/- that will come 27/- so Person ‘B’ will only pay Rs 9/- and the reaming 18/- is already paid by person ‘A’ and will show as Input tax credit against person ‘B’ GSTIN ?

 

But during all this process the % of GST was calculated by Person ‘B’ on the figure on which GST was already added by previous party ‘Person A’.

 

So with above situation government is getting 18% GST on 150/- price instead of price before GST

 

Person ‘A’ 100/-   [before GST is 100 and after GST is 118]

Person ‘B’   26.24/-   [this 26.24 is margin of person ‘B’ before output GST] so 32 include output GST

 

Total of Before GST from person ‘A’ + Person ‘B’

  100+26.24= 126.24/-

 

18% of 126.24 is = 22.7 this means that ‘Person B’ should give 22.7-18 = 4.7 as output tax rather than 9 rupees.

 

I hope you understand my question.

Is B's GST calculation on 150 correct?

Yes punit I am asking the same thing 'Is B's GST calculation on 150 is correct' because 150 includes the GST added by the previous party "Person A" so logically it should not be considered to calculate GST and rather 100+26.24 = 126.24 should be considered. This 126.24 is the total amount without GST from both parties Person A and Person B.

The basic context of my question is that does the intermediatory party use the purchase price which already includes GST from the buyer to calculate output GST or do they first exclude the GST part which was added by the supplier and then adds their margin without GST and then use that figure to calculate GST on the prescribes GST rate.

There is no flaw. Every business pays GST on the value they add, and final GST is paid by the consumer. Person A sells you for 100, and charges 18 as GST. You sell it for 150 plus GST, your value addition is Rs 50, not Rs 32. You are wrongly taking the margin as 32. It is 50.

Person A: 100 + GST = 100 + 18 = 118

Person B: 150 + GST = 150 + 27 = 177

Person B's margin = 150 - 100 = 50

Or, Person B's margin = 177 - 118 - net GST paid by person B = 59 - 9 = 50

 

Reena is Right. Purchase price of B is 100, if he wants to add his margin 32 he will sale 132+ gst .

Ok, so now person B will only give rupee 9 as GST (output tax) according to your example?

because 27 is the total GST on price before GST is added from Person A and Person B 100 + 50 = 27 (considering 18% as GST).

so 18/- is the Input Tax Credit and now Person B has to give only rupee 9 /- as output tax ?
