Digital Services gst: GST on digital services: Budget 2023-24 broadens scope of OIDAR

The availability of cheaper and feature-rich cell phones along with the penetration of low-cost internet in rural India fuelled by the Digital India campaign, has pushed service providers to transform the way services are delivered and as a result, the players in advertising, media, education and gaming have grown exponentially over the last few years. Considering the size of the Indian market and growing demand in these sectors, several overseas entities are investing in India and rendering services digitally to Indian customers.The levy of tax on Online information and Database Access Service (OIDAR) was introduced in India in 2001 under the erstwhile service tax regime and in 2016 the ambit of services was widened to include several digital services into the tax fold. In July 2017, the GST law borrowed the provisions governing OIDAR from the service tax law.OIDAR is a category of services provided digitally through the medium of the internet and received by the recipient without a physical interface with the supplier of such services. The nature of OIDAR is such that it can be provided online from even a remote location outside India to a customer in India. The GST law defines OIDAR in clear terms and also enlists certain illustrative services such as advertising, cloud services, e-books, movie, music, software, data/information retrieval services, data storage and online gaming services rendered through online/internet mediums. Any overseas supplier involved in the rendition of such services to a customer in India shall follow a simplified registration process under the GST law, either directly or through the appointment of a representative in India and follows routine monthly compliances.The Government as part of the amendments proposed in the Union budget 2023-24 has broadened the scope of OIDAR services, by removing the term ‘essentially automated and involving minimal human intervention’ from the definition of OIDAR services. This would essentially mean that even if the services are not totally automated and involve human interactions through online/internet mediums for the rendition of services, the services will get qualified as OIDAR services.It would be important to highlight that several overseas educational institutions started conducting online education programs and considered their services as not qualifying under the OIDAR category as the education courses involved regular human interactions. However, the proposed amendment in the definition of OIDAR services would require such overseas service providers to revisit their tax position.In addition to the above amendment, the Union budget 2023-24 has also amended the definition of ‘non-taxable online recipient’, wherein the scope has been widened. The proposed amendment would make OIDAR services taxable in the hands of the overseas supplier (or intermediary as applicable) if any unregistered person or persons registered under Section 51 of the CGST Act in India, receives OIDAR services for any purpose.Any overseas entity rendering services to customers in India would be required to conduct the following key tests to determine the taxability of the transactions in India under the OIDAR provisions:- Whether the transaction qualifies as an OIDAR - Whether the entity qualifies as a ‘Non-Resident Taxable Person’ in India - Whether the services are rendered to any person who is not a GST registrant in India or to a person registered solely for deducting tax under section 51 of the CGST Act - Whether services are rendered by the overseas service provider directly through its website to end customers located in India - Whether the digital services are rendered through applications downloadable through third-party app - Whether GST is discharged by a third-party app service provider on behalf of the overseas entity - Create awareness - The lack of awareness of the OIDAR provisions is a key challenge that compels GST authorities to issue notice to demand tax, interest, and penalty on overseas suppliers. Several overseas suppliers were issued notices to their dismay where tax along with interest and penalty were recovered for non-compliance. In some instances, certain overseas entities have decided to discontinue services to a customer in India due to unexpected tax costs. To tackle this challenge, the Government shall establish a suitable system and robust technology to monitor the supply of OIDAR upfront and create awareness among overseas entities rendering services to customers located in India. This would enable the overseas service provider to remit GST by appropriately collecting the taxes from the customers, rather than bearing GST and rendering the business infeasible. - Challenges involved in registration, tax payment and compliances – Allow overseas suppliers to obtain a GST registration with the least possible documentation and convert the existing monthly compliance requirement to quarterly or half yearly to reduce the compliance burden. - Amnesty or tax settlement process – Provide an amnesty or tax settlement mechanism to overseas businesses engaged in the supply of OIDAR. The companies who had not collected taxes from end customers due to a lack of awareness may be afforded a onetime dispute settlement option for the initial years of GST, which would encourage them to come clean with respect to past dues. While ‘Ignorance of the law is no excuse’, the purpose and object of the law are not to multiply ignorant defaults or loose/delay revenue! It reminds us that ‘there is a true law, right reason, agreeable to nature, known to all men, constant and eternal, which calls to duty by its precepts, deters from evil by its prohibition’.The writer is Associate Partner - Indirect Tax, BDO India.

Indirect Tax

Recent changes in Indirect Tax

Indirect taxes are taxes that are assessed by Government on goods and services, rather than on individualities or businesses directly. These taxes are collected by businesses from consumer when they buy goods or services, and also remitted to the government. Indirect taxes are often referred to as consumption taxes because they are based on consumption of goods and services rather than income or wealth. Indirect taxes can take many forms, including sales taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), excise taxes, and tariffs.

During the Union Budget of 2023 “Amrit Kaal”, It was the very first time when the indirect tax proposals were presented before the direct tax proposals. In the Proposal of indirect tax Presented in the Union Budget of 2023 there were 4 major changes which caught the attention of the citizens.

Following are the 4 major changes:

Customs Perspective:  In the Union Budget, to promote the ‘Make in India’ campaign and give to a boost to domestic manufacturing and enhance exports, the government and our FM has proposed few changes in the rate of import duties. The import duties on electric chimneys and cigarettes will now be more expensive, while on the other hand import of gold, silver, platinum, coin, etc., will be cheaper. Also, some exemption has been proposed towards goods or machinery used for manufacturing of lithium-ion battery.

GST Returns To Be Filed Within Three Years:  GSTR 1, GSTR 3B and GSTR 9and GSTR 9C would now be restricted for filing, post expiry of three years from the due date of filing of the relevant GST return. Until now, there was no threshold on time for filing GST return and any taxpayer could file belated returns along with interest and late fees. However, going forward, in future these dates have been locked so as to have clarity on the timelines for litigation.

Widening of Scope of OIDAR:  The Online Information and Database Access and Retrieval (OIDAR) services were brought under the tax bracket in the service tax regime and subsequently, in the GST regime. However, due to some exceptions in OIDAR and non-taxable online recipient, multiple services were escaping tax. In order to remove those exceptions, the Budget proposes to amend both the definitions and make OIDAR a wider segment for taxability purpose.

Taxability of High Sea Sales and Out-And-Out Sales: Out-and-out sales and high-sea sales were inserted in schedule III of the CGST Act, 2017 with effect from Feb. 1, 2019. However, the GST authorities were demanding GST from July 1, 2017 to Jan. 31, 2019. So to clarify this ambiguity and confusion, the budget has stated that such insertion will be with retrospective effect from July 1, 2017. This is a relief for taxpayers who are undergoing a litigation on these aspects. However, if the taxpayer has already paid the taxes for such period on the specified sales, the Budget has clearly specified that no refund of such tax can be claimed.

Although there are other changes as well but from Tax perspective the above 4 are major changes.

Complete Guide to GSTR-3B: Importance, Filing Eligibility, Due Dates, and Expert Consultation for 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance in India, GSTR-3B stands as a crucial return that taxpayers must file regularly. This blog provides a detailed overview of GSTR-3B, including its due dates, who needs to file, penalties for late submissions, and comparisons with other GST returns.

What is Gaster-3b? GST-3B Due Dates for Quarterly Returns

GSTR-3B is a self-declared summary return that GST-registered taxpayers must file monthly or quarterly (for those under the QRMP scheme). This return provides a consolidated report of sales, Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims, and the net tax liability for the period. It is essential for ensuring compliance and accurate reporting under GST.

Features of Gaster-3B:

Summary Nature: It includes summary figures instead of detailed transaction data.

Monthly Filing: Taxpayers generally file GSTR-3B every month, but quarterly filers under the QRMP scheme submit it every three months.

Non-revisable: Once filed, GSTR-3B cannot be revised, making accuracy essential.

Quarterly Gaster-3B Due Dates Gaster-3B Due Dates for Quarterly Returns

For taxpayers opting for the QRMP scheme, the due date for filing GSTR-3B is either the 22nd or 24th of the month following the end of the quarter, depending on the state or Union Territory of the principal place of business. For example, for the quarter ending September, the due date would be either 22nd or 24th October, based on your location.

For taxpayers opting for the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme, the due dates for filing GSTR-3B are as follows:

For the first quarter (January to March):

22nd April for taxpayers in certain states (for others, it’s 24th April).

For the second quarter (April to June):

22nd July for certain states (for others, it’s 24th July).

For the third quarter (July to September):

22nd October for certain states (for others, it’s 24th October).

For the fourth quarter (October to December):

22nd January for certain states (for others, it’s 24th January).

Always check the GST portal or consult with Taxring tax advisor for the most current dates and any updates specific to your state.

Who should file Gaster-3b?

All taxpayers registered under GST are required to file GSTR-3B, including:

Regular taxpayers

Taxpayers under the QRMP scheme

Exemptions: The following categories do not need to file GSTR-3B:

Taxpayers registered under the Composition Scheme

Input service distributors

Non-resident suppliers of OIDAR services

Non-resident taxable persons

Late Fee & Penalty for GST-3B

Filing GSTR-3B after the due date incurs late fees and penalties. Here’s how it works:

Regular Filers: ₹50 per day of delay (₹25 each for CGST and SGST).

Nil Tax Liability Filers: rs20 per day of delay (₹10 each for CGST and SGST).

Interest: If GST dues remain unpaid after the due date, an interest of 18% per annum will be charged on the outstanding tax amount.

Due Dates for GST-3B Filing

Up to December 2019: The due date was the 20th of the subsequent month.

From January 2020 Onwards: The due dates have been staggered:

Monthly filers: 20th of every month

Quarterly filers under the QRMP scheme: 22nd or 24th of the month following the quarter.

Important Note:

Taxpayers must ensure timely payment of taxes and filing of GSTR-3B to avoid penalties.

Gaster-3B vs Gaster-2A & Gaster-2B: Cupris

GSTR-2A:

Real-Time Updates: GSTR-2A is a dynamic statement reflecting all ITC available based on suppliers’ GSTR-1 filings.

No Filing Required: GSTR-2A is auto-generated and does not require filing.

GSTR-2B:

Monthly Summary: GSTR-2B is a static summary statement of available ITC for a particular month.

Used for Reconciliation: Taxpayers should reconcile GSTR-2B with GSTR-3B to ensure accurate ITC claims.

Importance of Reconciliation:

Reconciliation helps avoid notices due to excess ITC claims, ensures compliance, and improves the GST compliance rating.

Difference between Gaster-1 and Gaster-3b

GSTR-1:

Detail Requirement: Requires detailed reporting of all sales transactions.

Monthly or Quarterly Filing: Depending on the taxpayer’s category.

GSTR-3B:

Summary Nature: Requires only summarized figures of sales and ITC claims.

Mandatory Filing: Must be filed by all GST-registered taxpayers.

How to FileGaster-3B Texting

Filing GSTR-3B on Taxring is a straightforward process that ensures compliance and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Union Budget 2024: Streamlining Indirect Tax Compliances - Expectations and Challenges

With the Union Budget 2024 set to be presented on July 23, taxpayers and industry experts alike are keenly anticipating changes aimed at streamlining indirect tax compliances, particularly concerning the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Customs procedures. Saloni Roy, Partner at Deloitte India, sheds light on the current challenges and expected amendments that could significantly impact the tax landscape.

Simplifying GST Compliance

The GST was introduced to simplify India’s tax regime, but taxpayers still face several hurdles. Here are some of the key challenges and expected changes:

Registration Complications

GST registration requires a set of prescribed documents. However, during the application scrutiny, authorities often demand additional documents not listed under the law, such as notarised copies of No Objection Certificates (NOC) or original lease deeds. This leads to delays and additional burdens on taxpayers. A more streamlined and consistent approach to documentation could alleviate these issues.

Biometric Aadhaar Authentication

Currently, key managerial personnel (KMPs) must visit facilitation centres for biometric Aadhaar authentication, which is both time-consuming and cumbersome. A potential solution is allowing KMPs to complete this process at any facilitation centre nationwide, reducing the travel burden and expediting the registration process.

Tax Payments by Overseas Taxpayers

The rise of e-services has expanded the taxpayer base under GST, particularly for online information database access and retrieval (OIDAR) services. However, the process for overseas taxpayers to remit GST payments via Indian intermediary banks is slow and prone to delays. Establishing a more efficient payment system through overseas banks could streamline this process and ensure timely tax remittance.

Addressing IGST Payment Delays

When importing goods, the payment of Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) is made on the ICEGATE portal. However, delays in reflecting these payments on the GSTN portal result in discrepancies in Form GSTR-2B, causing automated notices to be sent to taxpayers. Enhancing the data transmission process between ICEGATE and the GST portal would mitigate these issues.

Challenges in Claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC)

One major challenge under GST is ensuring that vendors have remitted the GST to the government. Currently, there is no online mechanism for buyers to verify this, making it difficult to comply with ITC conditions. Developing a system to track vendor payments would reduce the risk of unwarranted litigation and ease the compliance burden on genuine taxpayers.

Additionally, ITC is often denied when a vendor’s GST registration is cancelled retrospectively. Implementing a real-time tracking system for vendor registration status could prevent such issues and ensure fair treatment of buyers.

Improving Customs Procedures

Customs procedures also face several challenges, and the Budget 2024 is expected to address these:

SVB Investigation Timelines

The Special Valuations Branch (SVB) of Customs often takes years to conclude investigations on imports from related parties, leading to provisional imports and the need for continuous bond submissions. Establishing a clear timeline for SVB investigations and adhering to it would expedite the process and reduce the burden on importers.

Digitisation of Customs

Despite advancements in the clearance of goods, some Customs processes remain manual, such as filing refund applications and replies to notices. Moving these processes online, similar to GST compliances, would save time and align with the ‘Digital Bharat’ mission.

Parting Thoughts

The Union Budget 2024 is poised to set the course for India’s economic trajectory over the next five years. By addressing the aforementioned challenges and streamlining tax compliances, the government can further its goal of making India the fastest-growing economy in the world. Stakeholders are hopeful that the upcoming budget will introduce measures that simplify procedures, reduce litigation, and promote ease of doing business.

What exactly is meant by GST registration?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied when purchasing goods or services for consumption. It is also a value-added tax imposed on services. Furthermore, businesses that provide services and sell commodities must contribute equitably to the GST. GST removes the cascading effect of indirect taxes. Furthermore, it consolidates a variety of various central and state indirect taxes to increase revenue for the government. Similarly, online GST registration entered into effect in April 2017 and required registration from all qualifying businesses.

What are the eligibility criteria for GST filing?

Individuals registered under laws such as excise, VAT, service tax, etc. that were in force previous to the adoption of the GST

Supplier's representatives, distributors of input services, and brokers or e-commerce operators

Any business offering services with an annual turnover above Rs. 10 lakhs for states in the Special category and Rs. 20 lakhs for states in the Normal category.

If a registered business is transferred to another party or dissolves, the transferee must apply for online GST registration from the date of the transfer.

A person provides online information and database access or retrieval services from a location outside India to a person in India who is not a registered taxable person.

What are the different types of compulsory registration under GST?

The different types of compulsory registration under GST

Under Section 24 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017, certain categories are required to obtain compulsory registration as outlined below:

Casual Taxable Person: This refers to entities or individuals engaged in taxable activities sporadically or infrequently. Any business entity occasionally involved in taxable supply of goods and services must obtain GST registration.

Non-resident Taxable Person: Non-residents selling goods and services, whether as agents or principals, and lacking a fixed place of business in India are obligated to register for GST if they engage in taxable supply within the taxable territory, irrespective of transaction amount or frequency.

E-Commerce Operator: Individuals or entities managing digital platforms for buying and selling goods and services online must obtain compulsory GST registration, regardless of turnover.

Aggregate Turnover: Businesses exceeding an annual turnover of 40 lakhs in goods supply or 20 lakhs in service supply are mandated to register for GST. However, this threshold is reduced to 10 lakhs in certain states such as those in the northeastern and hill regions.

Inter-State Supply: Registration under GST is mandatory for entities engaged in inter-state supply, where the supplier's location and place of supply differ. Obtaining a GST number is essential before commencing inter-state supplies.

Taxpayers under Reverse Charge Mechanism: Individuals liable under the reverse charge mechanism must register for GST unless their aggregate turnover falls below the exemption limit. Under this mechanism, the recipient of goods and services is responsible for paying all applicable provisions and taxes.

OIDAR (Online Information Database Access and Retrieval) Services: Compulsory GST registration is required for services provided over the internet where there is no physical interface between the seller and buyer.

GST Registration for OIDAR Services

Introduction

The term OIDAR services, which stands for Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval services, pertains to services provided through the internet or electronic networks with minimal human involvement. The increasing adoption of cloud technology and software-as-a-service (SaaS) products in India has led to the inclusion of a broad range of services within the OIDAR services classification. This article provides an overview of OIDAR services and their impact on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India.

What are OIDAR Services?

According to the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) Act, OIDAR services encompass services delivered through information technology over the internet or electronic networks, with minimal human intervention. These services rely on automation and are only possible with the use of technology. Examples of OIDAR services include online advertising, cloud services, distribution of e-books and digital content, data storage, online gaming, and more.

GST Registration for OIDAR Service Providers

All businesses that provide OIDAR services are required to register for Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India, irrespective of their income and whether they are based within or outside the country. OIDAR service providers fall into various categories that necessitate GST registration. This includes businesses offering services across multiple states, those engaged in electronic commerce, and non-resident service providers. Therefore, even if you are a service provider situated outside of India but catering to Indian residents, GST registration is still mandatory.

GST Registration Process for OIDAR Service Providers

The process of registering for Goods and Services Tax (GST) as an OIDAR service provider varies depending on the location of your business, whether within or outside India.

GST Registration for OIDAR service providers based in India:

Access the GST common portal: Visit the official GST common portal (https://www.gst.gov.in/) which serves as the platform for GST registration and related services.

Create a GST account: If you don’t have an account on the GST portal, create one by providing necessary details like your name, contact information, and email address.

Navigate to the registration form: Log in to your GST account and go to the registration section to access the registration form.

Fill in the required details: Provide accurate information about your OIDAR services, business specifics, and contact details to complete the registration form. Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled.

Attach supporting documents: Upload essential supporting documents such as copies of the promoter’s valid passport, tax identification number, unique identification number issued by the foreign government, or PAN.

Submit the application: Review the provided information and submit your GST registration application through the portal.

For OIDAR service providers located outside India:

Obtain Form GST REG-10: Download Form GST REG-10 from the GST common portal or obtain it from authorized sources.

Complete the form: Fill in the necessary details in Form GST REG-10, including information about your OIDAR services, business specifics, and contact information.

Attach supporting documents: Gather required documents such as a self-attested copy of the promoter’s valid passport, tax identification number, unique identification number issued by the foreign government, or PAN.

Appoint a representative: If you lack a physical presence in India, appoint a representative who will handle your GST registration, return filing, and compliance obligations on your behalf.

Submit the application: To complete your application, please submit the filled Form GST REG-10 and the necessary supporting documents via the GST common portal. Electronic submission is required.

Timeline: Ensure that you submit the GST registration application at least five days before commencing your business operations in India.

To file GST return online, you need to log in to the official GST portal and select the suitable return form based on your business. Enter the necessary details, such as sales, purchases, and input tax credits. Validate and preview the return to ensure accuracy, then submit it and make the tax payment if there is any liability. Remember to keep a record of the generated Acknowledgement Reference Number (ARN). In case there were no transactions during the specified period, you can file a Nil return. It is crucial to file within the specified due dates to avoid penalties. By following these steps, you can easily file your GST return online and fulfill your compliance obligations.

Summary

To summarize, the rise of cloud technology has led to the widespread adoption of OIDAR services in India. It is essential for OIDAR service providers to comprehend the implications of GST on their operations and ensure compliance with tax regulations. By obtaining GST registration and fulfilling their GST return filing obligations, OIDAR service providers can effectively navigate the legal requirements associated with delivering services in India. Adhering to GST regulations not only facilitates a streamlined and transparent tax system for OIDAR service providers but also contributes to the overall progress and advancement of the digital economy.

The government must levy a fine on taxpayers and others. If they are late with their payment, they can still file GST filing returns. For every month that a GST Return is late, a fine of 200 can be assessed. The CGST and SGST Act may allow for this.

As per this, late payers can be charged a penalty of 100 for SGST and 100 for CGST. However, the same Act states that if a taxpayer pays their taxes after the GSTR 3 return deadline, the government cannot impose a fine of more than 5000. The interest rate on tax debt is currently set at 18% per year. The interest rate is calculated only on the entire tax bill. Also taken into account is the time between the tax return being filed and the tax being paid.
