Question

As per new rates w.e.f 01.04.2019 promoter of project has to purchase 80% of Input and input services from registered person otherwise promoter is liable to pay tax on RCM @18% on shortage. My question in this regards is as follow, 1. Dose GST paid on taxable value of purchase received from registered person, can be include in total purchase value for the purpose of above calculation ?For Example.1 ) Taxable value of Goods/service is 100/- & GST on the same 18/- hence total invoice value is equal to 118/-. Now which amount either 100/- or 118/- need to be consider for 80% calculation ? (As I am not eligible to take credit on Input & input service)

Answer

Facts of the case: For calculating purchase value of 80% of Input and input services from registered person, whether GST paid on taxable value of purchase is to be included in total purchase value.

Law Applicable:
Notification No. 11/2017 Central Tax (Rate)

Provided also that where value of input and input services received from registered suppliers during the financial year (or part of the financial year till the date of issuance of completion certificate or first occupation of the project, whichever is earlier) falls short of the said threshold of 80 per cent., tax shall be paid by the promoter on value of input and input services comprising such shortfall at the rate of eighteen percent on reverse charge basis and all the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (12 of 2017) shall apply to him as if he is the person liable for paying the tax in relation to the supply of such goods or services or both;

Interpretation: For calculating value of 80% of inputs and input services from registered persons, the cost should be taken without tax because it is the ratio of goods purchased on payment of tax and goods purchased without payment of tax.    

Conclusion:  Only Taxable value of Goods/service i.e. 100/- needs to be considered for 80% calculation.
