Good morning 😁

Next Gen GST Reforms

This is tentatively great news. Many businesses will benefit from this and the consumer ofcourse will get the rolling down discount.

Lets hope for the best implimentation. If someone is doubtful, this is a definite reason to smile for the middle class specially. As it's a mostly straight reduction in GST.

There is a lot of GST news coming about cancellation of input credit tax. If that's true then this whole thing is one step forward 2 steps back.

We will need to wait for lots of clarification.

Which is also why as of now CAs are silent about the whole thing.

What is input tax credit?

Lets say I'm a business owner

I buy raw material worth ₹1,00,000 + 18% GST = 1,18,000 I pay to my vendor. Here I've paid 18,000 GST against my purchase.

I process this raw material and make products and sell them for 2,00,000 + 18% GST = 2,36,000

Here I get paid 36000 GST from my customer to whom I sell my products for 2,00,000+36,000 GST.

This 36,000 is now my GST liability. Which means I owe this 36,000 to the govt.

BUT if you remember I already paid 18,000 GST to my vendor of raw materials, this 18,000 is my input credit. That this much I've already paid. And hence it's subtracted from my GST Payable.

36000 liability - 18000 already paid

= I've to pay 18000 only.

Now let's see some examples of 18 to 5% sales GST
Considering Raw material GST % remains unchanged from 18% ( which will remain the case mostly)

Raw material 1,00,000 + 18% = 1,18,000

Product sold 2,00,000 +5% = 2,10,000

Tax liability 10,000 - input tax credit 18,000

= - 8000

In this scenario.

Customer gets full benefit

Instead of 2,36,000 they had to pay 2,10,000

Customer gets full tax benefit

And manufacturer had a negative liability as he paid 18,000 GST on purchase of raw material BUT 5% on sales. So he will get refund of 8000/-

Now comes the dark example.

Same example but input credit tax isn't allowed.

Raw material 1,00,000 + 18% = 1,18,000

Product sold 2,00,000 +5% = 2,10,000

Tax liability 10,000 - input tax credit 0

= 10,000

But 18,000 GST was also paid on purchase. Which now isnt allowed to be adjusted.

So total GST Paid by manufacturer is Rs. 28,000

In this scenario.

Customer gets full benefit

Instead of 2,36,000 they had to pay 2,10,000

Customer gets full tax benefit

But manufacturer had to pay 28000 GST instead of 18000 in current system with 18% gst instead of 5%

Their margins are now affected. And why would any business owner pass on any benefit to customer if their own profit is reduced instead of increased?

So what will happen?

The manufacturer will take the input credit from the buyer.

Sales price becomes 2,10,000 + 18000 that he would have gotten input credit

Total becomes 2,28,000

So what's the difference?

Original price 2,36,000 becomes 2,28,000

The little bit of discount goes to customer.

Whats the change in govts earning?

Earlier they were getting 36000 GST. and now they are getting 28000 GST

Manufacturer - no change.

Customer - small discount

This is just how my mind works as a manufacturer. Different businesses might adjust new rules differently. In time we will understand more.

A lot of goals aren't really ours, they're borrowed from what we think will impress others.

The challenge is to strip away the noise and ask yourself: if no one else knew, would you still want it?

Good morning 😁

Lessons come from everywhere!

A very happy Teachers day to all the people who have taken the time to explain things to me! 🙏
