How to upload supporting documents in exports through ICEGATE


The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) in one of its recent circulars has requested all the beneficiaries transacting with customs, including importer and exporter,to register themselves at ICEGATE.

It has already introduced Single Window Interface for Facilitating Trade (“SWIFT”) for integrating Customs and other Participating Agencies (“PGAs”) for seamless processing of Import or Export procedures and the process was implemented successfully. One of the main elements of SWIFT is eSANCHIT, which allows traders to submit all custom clearance documents electronically instead of hard copy documents of the Bills of Entry.  For making this paperwork furthermore simplified, CBIC is bringing in all PGAs under eSANCHIT whereby documents will be uploaded by the PGAs who issue LPCOs, that is, Licenses,Permits, Certificates, and Other Authorizations and not by the importer/exporter.

After the successful implementation of eSANCHIT, the CBEC has launched a pilot to test the eSanchitfacility for PGAs with three PGAs and the eSanchit facility is now available for all the PGAs that has reduced the physical interface between customs and clearing agents and increased the speed of clearance. Also, a new facility to upload supporting documents with digitally signed through ICEGATE was introduced from 1st September 2018 on a pilot basis to the Chennai Customs House and New Delhi Air Cargo Complex on a voluntary basis. After completion of the pilot, the facility is now extended to all other Customs locations and covers all type of exports under the Indian Customs EDI System (ICES). As a result, henceforth, all IEC holders/applicants are encouraged to upload or submit the documents online using digital signatures.

Procedure

The procedure for uploading the supporting documents (eSANCHIT) in the export is described below and is very similar to the process of eSANCHIT in imports:

  1. Visit the official site of ICEGATE (https://www.icegate.gov.in/)and login/sign up with the valid credentials. Next, click on the eSANCHIT link and thereby follow the steps to upload the supporting documents. The authorized persons are provided with a facility to view their uploaded documents on the site.
  2. When a person is required to submit a document after the generation of shipping bill or in response to any query of customs, an IRN (Image reference number), which is unique to each document, will be generated by the system.
  3. After the filing of shipping bill, custom officers will access the uploaded supporting documents and if necessary, they may call for any additional documents that can be submitted online.
  4. Taxpayers have been provided with a facility to see information about transmission status of export data/records to the ICEGATE from GST portal.
  5. Also,after the shipping bill is filed, a person is allowed to visit the designated place for the purpose of goods registration or verification of documents and Let Export Orders. At present, electronic copies of shipping bills and LEO are provided to the authorized persons on which digital signatures will be applied.
  6. According to the shipping bills, 2011, all supporting documents must be retained in original for at least 5 years from the date of acceptance of the shipping bill.

TCS under GST – What do you need to know?


1) TCS under GST
TCS under Goods and Service Tax refers to the tax which is collected by the e-commerce operator when a supplier supplies some goods or services through its portal and the consideration for such supplies is collected by the electronic commerce operator.


The Rate of TCS to be collected by an e-commerce operator is 1% under the IGST Act (0.5% under the Central GST Act and 0.5% under the State/Union Territory GST Act). However, tax is not collected on exempt supplies and import of goods/services and supplies on which the tax is paid on reverse charge basis. Also, TCS cannot be collected by a composition taxpayer.


 Registration for TCS
As per the provisions of CGST Act, 2017, it is mandatory for every electronic commerce operator who collects TCS, to obtain registration whether any supplies are made by him or not. The threshold limit exemption of INR 20 lakhs is not applicable to them. Also, if an e-commerce operator is already registered under GST and has GSTIN, he is required to obtain a separate registration for tax.

TCS in GST

The tax collected is required to be deposited by the e-commerce operator to the appropriate Government within 10 days from the end of the last date of the month in which the supply is made or the amount was collected. For payment of the tax, the amount deposited through the Input Tax Credit (ITC) of an e-commerce operator is not allowed as per the provisions of the CGST Act, 2017.

Net value of supplies
TCS will be charged as a percentage on the net value of taxable supplies. Net value of taxable supplies means aggregate value of supplies after subtracting any amount of supplies that are returned. Also, during any tax period, if the return on supplies is more than the value of supplies made, then the negative amount is not to be reported by the e-commerce operator in the relevant tax period.

Return for TCS
Any e-commerce operator deducting TCS and registered under GST must file GSTR-8 that shows the details and amount of supplies and tax collected on such supplies by an e-commerce operator. The return is must be filed by 10th of the next month in which the tax was collected and deposited to the respective government and must be filed with due care as it cannot be revised. The tax collected by the operator is credited to the electronic cash ledger of the respective suppliers whereby the supplier can claim the credit of the tax collected. If there is error or omission in any of the particulars regarding Tax, interest and penalty as per relevant section of the CGST Act, 2017 would be levied.

Difference to understand between Mixed and Composite Supply in GST


Supply under the Goods and Service Tax means the supply of goods and services of any form by a person to another person for some consideration. This concept includes two types of supplies: mixed supply and composite supply. Though these words are often used interchangeably, there is a glaring difference between the two. The tax liability for both the supply as per the new GST rules is also different. Here is a brief description of both the types of supply:

Composite Supply under GST:

Under GST, a composite supply concept is very identical to the concept of naturally bundled services prevailing in the earlier service tax regime and would mean a supply consisting of two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or both, which are naturally bundled and supplied together by a taxable person to a recipient in the ordinary course of business, and one of which is a principal supply. It means that the items cannot be supplied separately and are generally sold as a combination.

Mixed Supply under GST:
As per Goods and Service tax, a mixed supply means a combination of two or more individual supplies of goods or services made together by a taxable person for a single price where such supply does not constitute a composite supply (that is the supply is not a case of naturally bundled services) and each of these items can be supplied separately and is not dependent on any other. Hence, if the supply is not a composite service, it is said to be a mixed supply.
Determination of tax liability:

The tax liability of mixed and composite supplies is determined in the following manner:

(a) In case of composite supply including more than two supplies and one of them being principal supply, the tax rate of the principal supply would hold true for the entire supply.
(b) If there is a mixed supply with the combination of two or more supply, then the total supply would attract the highest rate of tax.
Time of supply:
Time of supply in case of composite supply:

If the principal supply in case of composite supply is a service, then the composite supply will be considered as a supply of services and the provisions relating to time of supply of services will apply and if the supply of goods is the principal supply, the composite supply will qualify as supply of goods and accordingly, the provisions relating to time of supply of goods will apply.
Time of supply in case of mixed supplies:

If the highest rate of tax in a mixed supply belongs to a service, then the supply will be treated as the supply of services and hence, the provisions relating to time of supply of services would be applicable. Likewise, if the highest tax rate belongs to goods then the mixed supply will be treated as supply of goods and the provisions relating to time of supply of goods would be applicable.
