These suggestions are poised to redefine the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework, especially for the gaming industry, which includes both traditional and online gaming platforms.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Amendments to the CGST Act 2017 and IGST Act 2017</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Among the key recommendations, the Council suggested significant alterations to the CGST Act 2017 and IGST Act 2017. These amendments primarily focus on providing clarity about the taxation of supplies in casinos, horse racing, and online gaming. The aim is to develop a more streamlined taxation process that ensures fairness and transparency in the tax system.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Modifications in Schedule III of the CGST Act 2017</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>A prominent recommendation includes the amendment of Schedule III of the CGST Act 2017. The proposed changes in this schedule will shed light on the taxation process for supplies associated with gaming activities like casinos and horse racing. Such activities form a substantial segment of the entertainment industry. The recommended changes will ensure uniform taxation, fostering a more conducive business environment.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>New Provisions in the IGST Act 2017</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The Council also suggested the addition of a specific provision in the IGST Act 2017. This provision will explicitly define the tax liabilities of suppliers located outside India, who are supplying online money gaming services to recipients in India. This is a significant stride towards plugging potential loopholes in the system and maintaining a level playing field for both domestic and international players in the online gaming industry.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The 51st GST Council Meeting demonstrated the government&#39;s dedication to refining the GST framework to ensure it remains relevant, equitable, and adaptable to the dynamic business landscape. The proposed changes underline the necessity for unambiguous regulations and guidelines, particularly in the fast-expanding online gaming sector. As stakeholders, it&#39;s imperative for us to stay updated and prepared for these changes. Stay tuned for more information on the implementation of these amendments and their potential impact on businesses in India.</p>","created_at":"2023-08-02T23:04:18.991655+05:30","updated_at":"2025-06-10T02:00:21.974314+05:30","slug":"recommendations-from-the-51st-gst-council-meeting-","image":null,"keywords":"GST Council Meeting, CGST Act 2017, IGST Act 2017, Gaming Industry, Taxation, Online Gaming, International Suppliers","tags":[{"id":1,"name":"GST"},{"id":7,"name":"Updates"}],"catagory":[{"id":5,"name":"Updates"}],"author":{"id":1,"name":"DEEPAK TAYAL","photo":"https://wraptaxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/author_photos/Deepak_Tayal_pic.jpg","qualification":"Chartered Accountant","bio":"LLB | BRSR | FAFD | BlockChain | Artificial Intelligence | IFRS"}},{"title":"REFUND OF ITC NOT TO BE REJECTED MERELY BECAUSE OF SUSPICION IF THE SUPPLIER HAS BEEN BOOKED FOR ISSUING FAKE INVOICES – DELHI HIGH COURT","summary":"The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi vide its order dated 10.03.2023 in the matter of M/s Balaji Exim Vs.

The said supplier had moved the High Court of Calcutta by filing a writ petition seeking unblocking of its Electronic Credit Ledger</li>\r\n\t<li>Subsequent to which, a show cause notice dated&nbsp;<strong>04.06.2021&nbsp;</strong>was issued to the petitioner by respondent no. 2 proposing to reject the refund claim. It was indicated in the show cause notice that respondent no.2 had sought a report regarding legitimacy and genuineness of the export of goods from the Customs Station, Kolkata, which were purchased by the petitioner from M/s Shruti Exports (<strong>proprietor Sh. Vijander Kumar Goel</strong>).&nbsp; In response, respondent no. 2 has received the information that the said supplier &ndash; M/s Shruti Exports was being investigated by DGGI in connection with fake invoices allegedly issued by it and also it has availed CGST and SGST amounting to ₹1,35,21,489/- and Cess of ₹21,76,132/- on the strength of fake invoices issued by certain persons</li>\r\n\t<li>The Petitioner duly responded to the said show cause notice on&nbsp;<strong>12.06.2021</strong>&nbsp;and submitted additional documents in support of its refund claim.

That an investigation had been initiated against the supplier (M/s Shruti Exports) from where the petitioner had allegedly procured the goods.&nbsp; It was also indicated in the order that M/s Shruti Exports issued two invoices to the petitioner in the month of&nbsp;<strong>August, 2020.</strong></li>\r\n\t<li>Although it was confirmed that the said invoices were reflected on the &lsquo;AIO&rsquo; System, the refund applications were rejected for the reason that &lsquo;&nbsp;<em>it appeared that they are to be part of a supply chain involving fake Input Tax Credit</em>.&rsquo;</li>\r\n\t<li>The Appeal filed against the said orders by the petitioner was also dismissed by the Appellate Authority, finding that the petitioner was in possession of the tax invoices, it could not be said that the petitioner had received the goods. Therefore, one of the conditions as stipulated in Section 16(2) of the Central Goods &amp; Services Tax, 2017 was not satisfied.&nbsp; The Appellate Authority concluded that the present case was one of &ldquo;goodless supply on the strength of fake invoices&rdquo;.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>On the behalf of the respondents, reference&nbsp;</strong>was made to letter dated&nbsp;<strong>16.04.2021&nbsp;</strong>issued by the CGST Authorities, Kolkata, which indicates that M/s Shruti Exports was found to be an existing dealer and its sole proprietor was also a Director of M/s BVN Alloys Pvt. Ltd. Both the dealers were found existing at Room No.464, 4th Floor, 138 Biplabi Rashbehari Basu Road, Kolkata-700001.&nbsp; It was found that M/s Shruti Exports had availed of CGST and SGST totaling ₹1,35,21,489/- and Cess amounting to ₹21,76,132/- from the taxpayers against whom cases were booked for issuing fake invoices.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>On the behalf of the Petitioner, it was submitted&nbsp;</strong>that none of the said suppliers, except one, PSSM Commercial Pvt. Ltd., had made any supplies chargeable to Cess.&nbsp; Thus, the only invoice in respect of which supplies received by M/s Shruti Exports, which could be assumed to be further supplied to the petitioner, was from PSSM Commercial Pvt. Ltd.&nbsp; However, CGST and SGST paid by PSSM Commercial Pvt. Ltd. was only Rs. 9,52,220/-.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Held: &ndash;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The Hon&rsquo;ble Court after considering the submissions made and facts of the case, found that the petitioner has a statutory right to appeal the impugned order. However, it is not possible for the petitioner to avail the said remedy as the Tribunal has not been constituted.</li>\r\n\t<li>It was found by the Hon&rsquo;ble Court that from the perusal of the impugned order, it is clear that the petitioner&rsquo;s refund applications were rejected on a mere apprehension that its supplier had issued fake invoices. There is no conclusive finding on the basis of any cogent material that the invoices issued by M/s Shruti Exports to the petitioner are fake invoices.</li>\r\n\t<li>Further, there is no dispute that the invoices issued by M/s Shruti Exports are reflected in the AIO System and there is no dispute that M/s Shruti Exports had issued the said invoices. It is also clear that M/s Shruti Exports is a dealer registered with the Goods &amp; Services Tax Department. Moreover, there is no allegation that the invoices were not paid by the petitioner.</li>\r\n\t<li>It is also important to note that there is no allegation that the goods in question were not exported overseas. Thus, the petitioner has established not only the fact that the goods have been exported but that it had paid for the same including the IGST and Cess.</li>\r\n\t<li>It is also to be noted that the supplies, as mentioned in the said letter, were for a period prior to&nbsp;<strong>August, 2020</strong>, which is quite evident from the copy of show cause-cum-demand notice&nbsp;<strong>30.11.2022</strong>&nbsp;issued to M/s Shruti Exports, handed over on the behalf of the Petitioner. The said show cause notice indicates that it relates to the period from&nbsp;<strong>July, 2017 to Financial Year 2019-20</strong>. Thus, it could not possibly cover the supplies made to the petitioner.</li>\r\n\t<li>It was found by the Hon&rsquo;ble Court that it is apparent that the petitioner&rsquo;s refund applications have been rejected merely because of suspicion without any cogent material.&nbsp;<strong>There is no dispute that goods have been exported; the invoices in respect of which the petitioner claims the ITC were raised by a registered dealer; and, there is no allegation that the petitioner has not paid the invoices, which include taxes. Thus, the applications for refund cannot be denied.</strong></li>\r\n\t<li>It was further found by the Hon&rsquo;ble High Court that there is merit in the petitioner&rsquo;s contention that it is not required to examine the affairs of its supplying dealers.&nbsp;<strong>The allegations of any fake credit availed by M/s Shruti Exports cannot be a ground for rejecting the petitioner&rsquo;s refund applications unless it is established that the petitioner has not received the goods or paid for them.</strong></li>\r\n\t<li>The Hon&rsquo;ble Court taking reference of decision of&nbsp;<strong><em>Quest Merchandising India Pvt. Ltd. v. Government of NCT of Delhi &amp; Ors.: 2017 SCC OnLine Del 11286</em></strong>&nbsp;of the Coordinate Bench of the Court, wherein it was held that &lsquo;<em>Therefore, there was need to restrict the denial of ITC only to the selling dealers who had failed to deposit the tax collected by them and not punish bona fide purchasing dealers. The latter cannot be expected to do the impossible. It is trite that a law that is not capable of honest compliance will fail in achieving its objective. If it seeks to visit disobedience with disproportionate consequences to a bona fide purchasing dealer, it will become vulnerable to invalidation on the touchstone of Article 14 of the Constitution&rsquo;</em>,&nbsp;<strong>found that the petitioner would be entitled to the refund of the ITC on goods that have been exported by it</strong>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>The Hon&rsquo;ble Court with the above findings,&nbsp;<strong>allowed the writ petitions with the directions to the Respondents to immediately process the Petitioner&rsquo;s applications for refund of ITC including Cess</strong>. It is clarified that in the event the respondents are able to find material to establish the allegations regarding non-supply of any goods by M/s Shruti Exports to the petitioner, it would be open for the respondents to initiate such action as may be warranted in accordance with law.</p>","created_at":"2023-05-10T13:19:06.512557+05:30","updated_at":"2023-10-17T12:48:01.558479+05:30","slug":"refund-itc-not-rejected-merely-suspicion","image":null,"keywords":"ITC rejection, GST Case Law, Delhi High Court, Fake Invoice","tags":[{"id":1,"name":"GST"},{"id":4,"name":"High Court"}],"catagory":[{"id":2,"name":"Case Study"}],"author":{"id":1,"name":"DEEPAK TAYAL","photo":"https://wraptaxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/author_photos/Deepak_Tayal_pic.jpg","qualification":"Chartered Accountant","bio":"LLB | BRSR | FAFD | BlockChain | Artificial Intelligence | IFRS"}},{"title":"2A and 2B Consolidation Utility","summary":"2A and 2B Consolidation Utility can help simplify the process by consolidating your monthly 2A and 2B reports downloaded from the GST portal.
