Composition Scheme Rules under GST

Composition Scheme Rules under GST provide for all the procedural compliance w.r.t. intimation for Composition Scheme, effective date for levy, conditions and restrictions on levy, validity of levy and rate of tax.

The current state indirect tax regime has provided a simpler compliance for small dealers known as the Composition Scheme. Under this scheme you,

• Pay taxes only at a certain percentage of turnover
• File periodic returns only (usually on a quarterly basis)
• Have an option of not having to maintain detailed records or follow tax invoicing rules
• Are not allowed to take Input Tax Credit (ITC)
• Are not allowed to collect tax on sales

A. Intimation and Effective date for Composition Levy

1.   For persons already registered under pre-GST regime

Any person being granted registration on a provisional basis (registered under VAT Act, Service Tax, Central Excise laws etc) and who opts for Composition Levy shall file an intimation in FORM GST CMP-01, duly signed, before or within 30 days of appointed date. If intimation is filed after the appointed day, the registered person:

a) Will not collect taxes

b) Issue bill of supply for supplies

FORM GST CMP- 03 must also be filed within 60 days of exercise of option:

a) Details of stock

b) Inward supply of goods received from unregistered persons held by him on the date preceding the day of exercise of option.

2. For persons who applied for fresh register under GST to opt scheme

For fresh registration under the scheme, intimation in FORM GST REG- 01 must be filed.

3. Registered under GST and person switches to Composition Scheme

Every registered person under GST and opts to pay taxes under Composition Scheme, must follow the following:

a) Intimation in FORM GST CMP- 02 for exercise option

b) Statement in FORM GST ITC- 3 for details of ITC relating to inputs lying in stock, inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods within 60 days of commencement of the relevant financial year

b. Conditions for a Composite Tax Payer

Apart from the threshold limit, the following conditions are applicable for a composite tax payer:

• Cannot be engaged in supply of services, other than supply of food or drinks for human consumption
• Cannot be engaged in manufacture of specific notified goods
• Cannot supply goods not taxable under GST
• Cannot supply goods through an e-commerce operator
• No Interstate outward supplies – A composite tax payer should not engage in interstate outward supply of goods and / or services .
• Payment of composition tax – If the composite tax payer is in the trade of supplying goods and services, then composition levy will be applicable for both supply of goods and supply of services.
• Does not have to collect tax – The composite tax payer does not have to collect tax on all his outward supply of goods and / or services.
• Applicable for all business verticals under the same PAN – Composition levy will be applicable for all business verticals operating within state or interstate under the same pan.
• What does this mean?
• An individual with different business verticals, like:
• Mobiles & Accessories
• Stationery
• Franchisee

In the above scenario, the composition scheme will be applicable for all three business verticals. The dealer cannot opt for any one business vertical to fall under the composition scheme. For example, if the business vertical’s place of business is in Karnataka & Kerala for a single PAN, each of the business vertical in that particular state should have only ‘Intra-State(within state)’ supplies.

• Cannot claim Input Tax Credit – The composite tax payer is not eligible to claim input tax credit on all his inward supply of goods and / or services.
• What does this mean?
• If a dealer chooses to be a composite tax payer, he cannot claim input tax credit even if he makes taxable purchases from a regular taxable dealer. Ideally, the taxable amount would be added to the composite tax payer’s cost.
• Conclusion

Any person who opts for the scheme will be deemed to have been opted for all the places of business having the same registered PAN. Hence, you may not choose any one of all the place of business to be registered under scheme.

Composition Scheme Rules under GST have been targeted to be strict and crisp for the persons availing the Composition Scheme.

Importance of a Project feasibility study

The majority of the businesses often under look Project feasibility study during a brand-new project and jump straight into delegations and timelines.  But a well-planned feasibility study can not only save precious time, money and resources but also ease the project management.

Businesses do not succeed by brilliant and world-changing ideas, but rather succeed by hundreds of hours of hard work and careful planning. That is why out of 50 ideas only 1 makes into a real business. This is where the importance of due diligence and Project feasibility study comes in. 

Here are few advantages of Project feasibility study.

1.      Starting a New Business: Launching a brand new business isn’t only about short-term gains and profits, but about making business sustainable to generate long-term growth. In the case of launching a business, two types of feasibility studies can be performed. How many resources are necessary to start the business and long-term viability of the business.

Many businesses have ignored the importance of feasibility study, and have failed horribly. One such example would be during late 90’s .com bubble- companies who had great ideas but unsustainable methods became examples of high profile failures. All because they ignored the importance of feasibility study.

2.      Changing an existing product or service: Change is the law of nature. And businesses who don’t change with time often end up remaining just a brand (Nokia, Blackberry), innovation is the key to success. Just look at apple and google for example. At times when making changes in the existing products or services become necessary, a feasibility study proves to be extremely useful. Based on the study companies can strategically decide to experiment with their existing products and meet customer demands.

3.      Launching a new Product or Service: Just like changing existing products or services, launching new products or services without risking the entire company can only be done through the help of routine feasibility study. Based on their studies companies decide whether a change in consumer demand is worth making a new product or not.

4.      Starting a partnership:  Investors, employees and shareholders need assurance that merger of companies will indeed lead to a better future. Feasibility studies help them understand whether the partnership or merger is going to bring any long-term benefits or not.

The simplest way of doing a Project feasibility study for your business:

·        Conduct a pre-feasibility study and decide whether you actually need the study or not.

·        Check all your options before you finalise your idea.

·        Assess the Demand in you desired market.

·        Assess the competition and marketing possibilities.

·        Determine the challenges, both short –term and long-term.

·        Make a routine for your feasibility study.

·        Hire expert consultants for a pure objective Project feasibility study.

Conducting a project feasibility study can be time and resource consuming, that is why it is always a good idea to hire professionals to help you get a completely objective feasibility analysis.  We at pnjlegal.com provide professional project feasibility analysis and other services.

3 simple methods for business valuation

Whether you're planning to sell your business or take a loan, or to attract new potential finances and investors, and up to date business valuation is a must have. Simply just knowing the value of your business can help you proper manage your business and evaluate your position.

Here are three simple ways to determine your business' true value.

1.      Focusing on Assets of a business:  This is by far the simplest valuation method, simply add up all your investments and subtract all the liabilities. You can also do your business valuation on basis of liquidation asset-based approach. In the liquidation asset-based approach you simply have to determine net cash received if all your assets were to be sold.

This is one of the best ways to evaluate the present gross value of a company or a business. Especially useful when you are trying to sell your business or get a business loan.

2.      Focusing on Market Values:  This approach focuses on determining the value of a business by comparing it with similar businesses in the market which were either evaluated or sold recently. This method works for most small and medium-size businesses as there are hundreds of other businesses to compare to. But if your business doesn't have comparable businesses in the market, then determining the true value of your business by this method can be difficult.

Also for an individual, using this method can be a cumbersome task. Focusing only on current market values may under-estimate your business value. Especially if you are just starting out or planning to expand in near future. This method is best used by professional evaluators.

3.      Focusing on Future Earning Values:  This approach is by far the most popular method for business valuation. This method revolves around the idea that true value of any business is determined by its capacity to generate wealth in near future. This method is very popular among investors and shareholders as they always value future returns on their investments.

Using companies past earnings and current growth rate, you can easily determine future revenues of a company. Normalise the assumption for unusual expense or revenue and add in the risk factor to get a complete learning value based business valuation.

The best choice: Apart from these methods, there are number of other methods to evaluate your business. But the best way to find the true value of your business is through a combination of all three. Combining two or more methods together will give you the best selling price. These business valuation methods will also plan, strategize and expand your business as well as attract more shareholders and investors.

Never do your business evaluation by yourself, it is like asking a mother to describe her child. Of course, you are going to over evaluate or under evaluate your business. That is why we recommend valuation for business must be done by a professional. We at pnjlegal.com offer a complete business valuation services.

xbrl for indian companies

What is XBRL?

Currently, financial statements or other information prepared in
Word, Excel or HTML formats can be read but not
automatically analyzed or processed according to the user’s
needs. For example, the word “Revenue” appears in many
places in the financial statements, but if the reader wants to
have all “Revenue” references and related information collated
in one place, they would need to do so manually. This is
because information is not machine-readable and needs to be
copy/pasted or keyed-in before it is used for analysis/decisionmaking
purposes.
XBRL enables source data to be tagged electronically, making
the data machine-readable. Thus, the user’s computer can
automatically extract the information without the need for
copy-pasting or keying-in. XBRL enables tagging of numbers,
quantitative data and textual information.
The benefits of XBRL go beyond compliance since any data
collation process can be streamlined using electronic tags.

Implications for Indian companies
Companies need to quickly gear-up to this new reporting
challenge and also to gain benefits from the broader business
uses of XBRL. Some of the key challenges that companies
might encounter as they adopt XBRL reporting are:
• Requirement of training staff to understand XBRL and how
it needs to be implemented including matters like timely
tagging and validation processes.
• The software tool to be used for the purpose of tagging.
• The first-time efforts involved in tagging and resolving
errors identified by validation checks.
• Smooth and timely closure of reporting within the

prescribed timelines.

Financial statements need to be filed in XBRL format in MCA21 Portal of MCA.The steps involved are:(a) Mapping: Mapping refers to the identification, for every piece of financial information in the report, of the most appropriate element in MCA’s taxonomy of accounting labels (in other words associating every data item with the most appropriate label in a dictionary of accounting labels). This would ensure that items disclosed carry a “standardized description” consistently understood by everyone (ignoring the way in which it is actually described in the report) based on sound accounting judgment that includes an understanding of the item disclosed and the notes relating to such an item. Mapping requires sound understanding of the data disclosed and a sound judgment on the most appropriate description of this item in a dictionary of standardized accounting terms.(b) Tagging: Tagging refers to the creation of an XBRL instance document where each piece of financial information is “associated” with the most appropriate taxonomy element as identified during Mapping. An XBRL instance document is an XML file containing financial facts associated with tags from a standardized taxonomy of accounting terms. If any financial fact cannot be associated with any element in the standardized taxonomy of accounting terms, it is possible to create extensions to the taxonomy. Separate instance documents need to be created for the following:(i) Stand Alone Balance sheet of the company(ii) Stand Alone Profit and Loss Account of the company(iii) Consolidated Balance sheet of the company (if applicable)(iv) Consolidated Profit and Loss Account of the company (if applicable)The instance document should contain the financial information for both the current as well as the previous financial year.(c) Review, verify and validate the XBRL instance document: The XBRL instance document should be reviewed and verified by the Company and its auditors for appropriateness of disclosure. The document should be validated with MCA’s validation tool to ensure the output would eventually be acceptable to MCA (for structure/grammar of the XBRL document). Validation is a pre-requisite before filing and includes validation that the instance document is as per the latest and correct version of taxonomy prescribed by MCA; that all mandatory elements have been entered etc(d) Scrutiny through tool: The next step is to scrutinize the document using the same tool. This would include server side validations and verification of the document through in built viewer.(e) Prepare Form 23AC-XBRL (and attach Balance Sheet) and 23ACA-XBRL (and attach Profit and Loss account). Separate instance documents need to be attached for the Standalone financial statements and consolidated financial statements (if applicable).(f) Submit Form 23AC-XBRL and Form 23ACA-XBRL at the MCA portal.
