A. Payments

What are payments to be made under GST?

Under GST the tax to be paid is mainly divided into 3 –

  • IGST – To be paid when interstate supply is made (paid to center)
  • CGST – To be paid when making supply within the state (paid to center)
  • SGST – To be paid when making supply within the state (paid to state)
CIRCUMSTANCES CGST SGST IGST
Goods sold from Delhi to Bombay NO NO YES
Goods sold within Bombay YES YES NO
Goods sold from Bombay to Pune YES YES NO

Apart from the above payments a dealer is required to make these payments –

  • Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) – TDS is a mechanism by which tax is deducted by the dealer before making the payment to the supplier

For example – A government agency gives a road laying contract to a builder. The contract value is Rs 10 lakh. When the government agency makes payment to the builder TDS @ 1% (which amounts to Rs 10,000) will be deducted and balance amount will be paid.

  • Tax Collected at Source (TCS) – TCS is mainly for e-commerce aggregators. It means that any dealer selling through e-commerce will receive payment after deduction of TCS @ 2%.

This provision is currently relaxed and will not be applicable to notified by the government.

  • Interest, Penalty, Fees and other payments

How to calculate the GST payment to be made?

Usually, the Input Tax Credit should be reduced from Outward Tax Liability to calculate the total GST payment to be made.

TDS/TCS will be reduced from the total GST to arrive at the net payable figure. Interest & late fees (if any) will be added to arrive at the final amount.

Capture

Also, ITC cannot be claimed on interest and late fees. Both Interest and late fees are required to be paid in cash. The way the calculation is to be done is different for different types of dealers –

Regular Dealer A regular dealer is liable to pay GST on the outward supplies made and can also claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the purchases made by him. The GST payable by a regular dealer is the difference between the outward tax liability and the ITC.
Composition Dealer The GST payment for a composition dealer is comparatively simpler. A dealer who has opted for composition scheme has to pay a fixed percentage of GST on the total outward supplies made. GST is to be paid based on the type of business of a composition dealer.

Who should make the payment?

These dealers are required to make GST payment –

  1. A Registered dealer is required to make GST payment if GST liability exists.
  2. Registered dealer required to pay tax under Reverse Charge Mechanism(RCM).
  3. E-commerce operator is required to collect and pay TCS
  4. Dealers required deducting TDS

When should GST payment be made?

GST payment is to be made when the GSTR 3 is filed i.e by 20th of the next month.

How to make GST payment?

Payment through Cash Ledger

GST payment can be made online or offline. The challan has to be generated on GST Portal for both online and offline GST payment. Where tax liability is more than Rs 10,000, it is mandatory to pay taxes Online.

What is the penalty for non-payment or delayed payment?

If GST is short paid, unpaid or paid late interest at a rate of 18% is required to be paid by the dealer. Also, a penalty to be paid. The penalty is higher of Rs. 10,000 or 10% of the tax short paid or unpaid.

What is GST refund?

Usually when the GST paid is more than the GST liability a situation of claiming GST refund arises. Under GST the process of claiming a refund is standardized to avoid confusion. The process is online and time limits have also been set for the same.

When can the refund be claimed?

There are many cases where refund can be claimed. Here are some of them – Excess payment of tax is made due to mistake or omission.

  • ITC accumulation due to output being tax exempt or nil-rated
  • Refund of tax paid on purchases made by Embassies or UN bodies
  • Tax Refund for International Tourists

How to calculate GST refund?

Let’s take a simple case of excess tax payment made. Mr. B’s GST liability for the month of September is Rs 50000.  But due to mistake, Mr. B made a GST payment of Rs 5 lakh. Now Mr. B has made an excess GST payment of Rs 4.5 lakh which can be claimed as a refund by him.  The time limit for claiming the refund is 2 years from the date of payment.
