Inter State IGST
Import of Goods or Services (different countries) Inter State IGST (CVD/RCM)
Export of Goods or Services (different countries) Inter State Zero Rated
Dual GST : Features
• Two Important Determinants• Place from Where the Supply is made [Service Provider / Warehouse Centric]
– no convergence
• Place to which the Supply is made [Service Recipient / Buyer Centric] –convergence
• Single Locational Establishments vs. Multi Locational Establishments

Important Concepts
• GST applicable on all supplies including deemed supplies• Free Supplies to related persons
• Supplies to job workers (exceeding 365 days)
• Interstate branch transfers
• Supplies of goods by Principal to Agents
• Reverse Charge Mechanism to be applicable on• Import of Services (include free / personal imports)
• Notified Goods or Services

Important Concepts (Contd.)
• Value is generally the transaction value• Arms’ Length Pricing in case of Related Parties
• Invoice Value accepted if recipient eligible for full input tax credit• Pre Supply Discounts can be reduced from value, Post Supply Discounts can be
reduced only if the same relate to agreement prior to supply
• Exemptions • Most exemptions to be phased out• Threshold of Rs. 20 lakhs• Optional Composition Scheme upto Rs. 50 lakhs (not for service providers)
• Rate of Tax• 0 – 5 – 12 – 18 – 28 + CESS
• Time of Supply to be earliest of multiple ‘touch points’• Advances for Goods also becomes liable for tax
IGST : Domestic Place of Supply Rules
• PoS Rule for Goods• Termination of Movement for Delivery of Goods == “Ship To” Address
• Exception for Triangular Cases (Different Bill to and Ship To addresses)• “Bill To” Address important
• Deemed Supply from “Bill To” Location to “Ship To” Location
• Location of Goods if movement not required
• PoS Rule for Services • General Rule - Destination Principle – Classification as B2B vs. B2C important
• Exceptions – Source and Hybrid Principles• Impact on Claim of Credit in B2B Cases
International Place of Supply Rules
• Goods• Import – India – Liable at the time of payment of customs duty
• Export – Outside India – Zero Rated
• Supplies to SEZ – Zero Rated
• Penultimate Exports – no longer exempted
• Services• Destination Principle (subj. to various exceptions)
• Import – Liable under RCM
• Export – Zero Rated subject to various conditions

Is the flow at aggregate or transaction level? If aggregate, may not be able to generate GSTR1
Do you need one? What are the value added services offered by him?
You definitely need one. What are the SLA? Will he have bandwidth?

Some points to ponder…
• ABC Limited has currently appointed separate excise consultant, VAT consultant and service tax consultant. • Will he need three different consultants in GST?
• Can he keep three different consultants in GST? How will 3R Matrix work?
• Will there be a need for state level consultants?• Common Law across the country
• Most activities on common portal
• Law being State level, local nuances may still play a role
• What are the relevant skill sets in GST Regime?
GST Professionals : Skill Sets required

Domain Knowledge
Solutions Approach
Systems Approach
Very Important, the differentiator
between professionals and large businesses

eventual transition of clients
Ability to understand business dynamics and upgrade to a business advisor
May provide last leg execution support.
May be critical in GST Regime
