Disadvantages of Transaction with Unregistered Dealer in GST

There are some monetary disadvantages in dealing with unregistered dealers in Goods and services tax as it will be completely opposite for a beneficial deal for all those registered dealers. There is some persistent question regarding the anonymity of unregistered dealers in the GST. Some of the questions are framed here to acknowledge the general queries regarding the transaction with the unregistered dealer.

Q: What is RCM provision and according to this what are the consequences if the purchase is made from unregistered dealers?

A: RCM provisions stands for reverse charge mechanism which is utilized for the tax payment made by the recipient on the purchase of any good or service. RCM also explains that tax is paid by the opposite party and this is implied in the case of unregistered dealer also. The reverse charge already finds its place in service tax provision and has been included in the GST also making necessary for all the dealers to pay taxes based on reverse charge.

Q: In reverse charge mechanism, what will be the duration of supply in a matter of purchasing of goods?

A: The duration of supply in a matter of purchasing of goods in reverse charge mechanism will be earlier in the following:

The date of receipt of goods or

  • Date on which payment is made or
  • The date immediately following 30 days from the date of issue of invoice

Now take an example that if a taxpayer’s purchase some goods on 25 July and present the bill on 2nd august and for the same the consideration is paid on 28th august than the provision of RCM will deem 25 July as a time of the supply.

Q: What will be the case in services for the time of supply in RCM?

A: In this case, the following scenario will be applicable:

  • The date on which payment is made
  • The date immediately following 60 days from the date of issue of invoice

Q: What will be the case for GST paid in RCM whether the credit will be allowed or not?

A: As per the GST provisions, each taxpayer can take the input tax credit but in order to avail the credit of tax paid, first he has to pay the taxes to avail the credit on all those purchases in the next month. In the provisions it is clearly mentioned that GST credit cannot be availed on food and beverages, building, passenger vehicle even if the tax is paid on R.C.M basis that means the burden of such tax shall be borne by the taxpayer.

Q: What changes can RCM bring after the implementation of GST?

A: The RCM can significantly increase the number of taxpayer base in India while it also mentioned that purchases made from an unregistered dealer can prove expensive for the registered dealer. This will be attracting reverse charges in case if any dealers make transactions with an unregistered dealer.

  3. Sir, I am a registered dealer and most of my purchase is inter state (tax free). I receive the goods via transport (transportation is charged anywhere between Rs.5000 to Rs.15000 depending on load). My question is:
    1) Whether GST is applicable on such Transportation of goods where the transporter has issued transportation bill but not mentioned GST applicable. If yes then at what rate and who is liable to pay the applicable GST?
    2) Some interstate transporters charge GST in their transport bill itself then can i avail ITC if interstate transporter charges GST in its bill?
    3) What is the scenario of GST on Transportation charges paid to local transport (who only deals intra-state)?

    Thank you in advance.

  7. I am composition dealer when I purchase goods from unregistered dealer then what tax will pay in that purchase. Is it 1% or normal rate of tax

  8. I HAVE TO SELL GOODS TO NON REGISTERED PARTIES ..WHICH INOVICE TO BE ISSUED AND WILL I HAVE TO UPLOAD IT WHILE FILING GST RETURN.

    1. In case of sale to unregistered dealer, invoice must mention that tax under reverse charge is applicable. So tax invoice has to be issued. Credit will be allowed to the recipient of the tax paid.

  9. I provide accounting services to a private limited company (registered under GST) within the same state. As my annual billing to the pvt ltd company does not excess Rs. 5 lacs I am not registered under GST. Will reverse charge be applicable to the pvt ltd company for availing such services from me?

  10. We have received June month bill from cab service on 10.07.2016 which was earlier paid under RCM basis. Now i cant pay service tax on RCM basis. Can you give solution how to go about ?

    1. Point of taxation generally as the earlier of the following events:

      • a. Date of invoice, if the same is issued within 30 days of completion of service, if not, the date of completion of the service;
      • b. Receipt of advance to the extent of such advance or receipt of payment

      we can infer that even though the service is completed on a particular date, the levy is either advanced or deferred to the date as determined based on POTR. Levy need not coincide with the completion of service. As service ‘provided’ is taxable as well as service ‘agreed to be provided’ is also taxable.
