Carry forward of input credit, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[arun aggarwal]

Sir

I am a registered dealer and buying goods after paying vat of 13.5% locally and selling them on CST at the rate of 2%, and without claiming any refund adjusting the same in the other trading.

Want to know that what will be the status of any input credit left with me when GST takes over and I will have no stocks but input credit

Still so many rules are at draft stage. Picture will be clear only after finalisation of all GST Rules.

Only Telengana State has passed the SGST Bill. Other States have not yet come to the picture. As rightly said by Shri Sethi your query cannot be given answer at this stage.

CBEC releases draft rules on Accounts and Records, Appeals and Revision and Advance Ruling under GST, in the public domain on 19th April, 2017. The Government has invited comments on these draft rules from the stakeholders by 27 April 2017.

The above justifies that still rules are under draft stage.

When the law has not been set out, it is not possible to comment. But hope the best.

As expressed by Sh.Kalyani Ji, on the basis of my experience I am hopeful that such credit would not lapse and would be carried. At present it is wild guess and ray of hope in favour of assessees.

Hi Arun, you are saying that what happens to the credit for goods which are not with you, i am not sure if i have understood your question correctly.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Dear Querist,

Sh.Govind Gupta has rightly raised query. How the balance of cenvat credit would be in your Cenvat Account without physical stock on the appointed day ? Pl. clarify your query.

Sir

I am referring to the case of vat and cst , where I buy goods locally after paying vat of 13.5% and selling them to the other state on 2% cst . So I have vat input left with me local vat - cst so no physical stock but balance input.

It is not Cenvat
