Critical points to be seen before first GST return Statutory Forms of old period Clear all the pending forms on or before 30 th June. If it is not received before appointed day better pay off the liability and raise debit notes to customers. Perform cenvat credit reconciliations before appointed day All missed out credits are to be taken (subject to 1 year limitation which is not applicable for capital goods). Because if not carried forward in GST not possible to take later. Cenvat credit would not have been taken just for the reason that audit person has advised that these are not creditable kindly check the eligibility as per CCR and take credit before June 30th

Critical points to be seen before first GST return No concept of centralized billing in GST. If Service provider has centralized billing now needs to take state wise registration change in billing pattern is essential customer agreements need to be changed. Dispose of all the existing cases with the department especially with regard to cenvat credit. As per section 142(6)(a) in case out come comes in the new law only refund route is permissible and no credit is available. Stock transfer to other states 5% reversal is essential as per TNVAT Act Now it is essential to think of the need to retain stocks which are not going to be sold up till 30 th June, 2017.

Critical points to be seen before first GST return Depreciation condition continues in GST also If cenvat is taken on duty portion then depreciation is not available in GST also. Balance 50% on capital goods for all the previous years kindly check whether correctly availed. See all your vendors list wherever bulk goods have been purchased from dealers who have got FSD but duty not passed on enquire Though goods are received from FSD or SSD or registered importer always see incase the FSD/SSD has taken credit u/s 140(3) always ensure that he passes on the benefit by way of reducing the prices.

Critical points to be seen before first GST return Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules verify the formula followed incase excess credit has been taken attempt it to take back very example manufacturer also having trading turnover Rule 6 followed but 6% or proportionate reversal is not on the basis of entire sales turnover but only on 10% of COGS. Amendment in Apr 16 in Rule 6 go by common credit only and not the total credit taxable credit take full credit exclusive exempted don t take take only the common credit for rule 6 reversal. During audit RCM liability would have been shown but may not have been availed avail before 30.06.2017

Critical points to be seen before first GST return Post pone purchase decision even acquisition of assets for official use since the same will be available as credit post GST. This point is very vital in respect of traders. Wherever rate is higher in GST always try to liquidate the stock as much as possible. Present pricing mechanism Relevance of Fiat India case now
