Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications for fuel stations purchasing petrol and diesel from other states. Currently, petrol and diesel are outside the scope of GST, with only Central Excise and State VAT applicable. Therefore, a CST registration under the VAT Act may be required, as GST registration alone is insufficient for these specific fuel types.
Petrol and Diesel is temporarily out of the purview of GST. Only Central Excise and State VAT is applicable on Petrol and Diesel.
As per the Provision of Section 9(2) of the CGST Act 2017, 5 PETROLEUM PRODUCTS i.e. "Petroleum Crude, High Speed Diesel, Motor Spirit ( commonly known as Petrol ), Natural Gas and Aviation Turbine Fuel ( ATF ) shall be levied to GST with effect from such date as may be notified by the Government on the recommendation of the GST Council."
Therefore these 5 Petroleum Products are temporarily out of the purview of GST.
