Automobile manufacturing is gradually restarting as curbs put in place to check the spread of coronavirus are eased. The question is whether there will be adequate demand and, more importantly, what the government can do to encourage sales. Mint takes a look. How did auto sales fare in the last fiscal? Automobiles comprise passenger cars and vans; two-wheelers, including motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds; commercial vehicles; three-wheelers and quadricycles. The total sales in 2019-20 were around 18% lower at 21.55 million units than in 2018-19. Two-wheeler sales, which comprise a bulk of total sales, fell 17.8% to 17.42 million units. Part of the drop in sales was due to the lockdown introduced in late March. But sales had been falling right through 2019-20. This was a reflection of a slowdown in the Indian economy and a lack of confidence among people in their economic future to be able to pay equated monthly instalments. What can the govt do to revive auto sales? Sales in March

The States Goods and Services Tax (SGST) collections are expected to contract by 30 per cent to ₹3.5 lakh crore in FY21 from ₹5 lakh crore in FY20, reflecting lower consumption of non-essential items in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to credit rating agency ICRA. With the protected revenues of the States estimated at ₹7.7 lakh crore for FY21 (₹6.7 lakh crore in FY20), the agency anticipates a multi-fold spike in the State governments’ GST compensation requirement to ₹4.1 lakh crore in the current fiscal, from ₹1.7 lakh crore in FY20. Of the State governments’ GST compensation, ₹1.2 lakh crore was released by the Centre to the States during FY20, leaving an unpaid balance of ₹50,500 core as of end-March, the agency said in a report. Jayanta Roy, Group Head – Corporate Sector Rating, ICRA, observed that with the Covid-19 pandemic and associated lockdown expected to shrink non-essential consumption, the finances of the State governments would undergo a dual shock.

Faced with a sharp decline in GST collections due lockdown and disruptions in economic activities across the country, the government is looking at paying GST compensation to states using a portion of its borrowings and repaying it by collecting cess in the sixth or further subsequent years. Under the GST law, states are guaranteed full compensation for any revenue loss for the first five years after the introduction of the goods and services tax (GST) in July 2017. The compensation is a gap between actual revenue collected and projected revenue. The projected revenue is revenue growth of 14 per cent for states per year over base year 2015-16. As per the GST Act, full compensation to the states has to be paid for a period of five years till FY22 only through the compensation fund that gets its funds through a levy of GST compensation cess on few items. However, with funds not getting enough collections since August 2019, the GST compensation to states have been delayed with Centre n

The CBIC has asked GST risk management wing to conduct supply chain analysis to identify risky major suppliers to exporters and share it with jurisdictional field officers. The Central Board of Indirect Taxes (CBIC) had received representations from exporters saying in some cases the Integrated GST (IGST) refunds are getting delayed by over 6 months. Last year, the CBIC had detected several cases of firms availing credit fraudulently through refund of Integrated Goods and Services Tax on exports of goods. To mitigate the risk, the CBIC has taken measures to apply stringent risk parameters based checks, and the consignment of such exporters in risky category are subject to 100 per cent Customs examinations and their refunds were kept in abeyance. The CBIC, which had in January issued a standard operating procedure (SoP) to be followed by such exporters, has now asked GST and Customs Zonal principal chief commissioners to forward all pending verification report to Directorate Genera

Such a facility will ease the immediate GST burden and help MSMEs conserve cash It was only to be expected that a government that has always given importance to optics and catchy phrases would do the same, when the Prime Minister announced the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ scheme. It did not take long for the optics to come out – ₹20 lakh crore was sanctioned exactly 20 minutes into the Prime Minister’s speech at 20:20 pm in the year 2020. Going by the developments in the days after the PM’s announcement, it appears that the Finance Minister and her team did everything they can to ensure that — at least mathematically — the sum total of their relief measures adds up to ₹20 lakh crore in some way or the other. The first reaction of everyone would have been to question how this humungous amount is going to be sourced, but it appears needless, since most of the money is not coming from the government anyway. MSME relief In choosing the first sector for its bonanza, the government did no wron

However, some experts said instead of GST waiver across the board, an exemption on certain essential items could be implemented. The Centre is not inclined to accede to the industry demand for GST waiver at this juncture. Even though a final call on rate reductions will have to be taken at the GST Council, where the Centre and the states follow a democratic voting system, officials are of the view that the industry’s call for a GST waiver for six months to spur demand is misplaced, as it doesn’t factor in the adverse impact of such a move. The consequences would be felt not only by the industry itself but also by consumers and states, these sources said. Furthermore, keeping the GST in abeyance would allow imports to gain an unfair advantage over domestically manufactured goods, they felt. Officials were responding to the demand mooted by some that the GST regime be suspended for a certain period in the wake of the economic slump caused by Covid-19 pandemic. The proponents of the i

In these times of a pandemic with morbidity surrounding us, one would expect tax laws to be administered compassionately with revenue authorities not running amok with mystifying interpretations of the GST law, and tax policy to be benevolent. Indian GST law and regime will soon celebrate its third anniversary yet, controversies on some topics plague the field and cause unwarranted chaos. Unfortunately, cannons of taxation are sacrificed at the altar of revenue collection. An issue that has been overly complicated and subjected to varied interpretations, only to the detriment of taxpayers, is the issue of taxability of compensation paid to directors of an incorporated entity. There are varied views, and not all of them are accurate. On the one hand are advanced rulings in Alcon Consulting Engineers and Clay Craft, from the States of Karnataka and Rajasthan respectively. It has been ruled (without noticing the different nature of appointments and capacities) that directors are not th

Despite insignificant Good & Services Tax (GST) collections, the Centre on Wednesday released ₹15,340 crore as GST compensation to States/Union Territories. After the introduction of GST, the Centre had assured the States, through legislation, of full revenue compensation for the first five years. For the purpose of calculating the compensation amount, 2015-16 was assumed to be the base year. The growth rate of revenue for a State during the five-year period was assumed at 14 per cent a year. Compensation is paid bi-monthly while last instalment for any financial year is given in the next year. Though the Centre has not specified the period for which the amount is released, it is believed to be for the December-January period. But soon the April-May amount will be due, making it tough for the Centre to pay as it is estimated to be a much higher sum. Government sources said that since the last release of GST compensation cess of ₹19,950 crore to States and UTs made in February
