In the formula of refund under inverted duty structure, the taxable person had considered the turnover of both manufactured and trading items and ITC of both manufacturing and trading items. The GST authorities had objected saying that figures of trading items cannot be considered in this formula. Views of the experts please. - Reply By vijay kumar - The Reply = Adjusted total turnover u/r 89(5) has to be calculated as follows, according to which, it shall include the turnover of manufacturing, trading and services (as specified). Perhaps the objection is that in r/o trading, the duty structure being the same, is not inverted.. But then, the GSTIN as such needs to be considered.

If genuinely accumulation is happening because of IDS, then refund should be eligible. (5) In the case of refund on account of inverted duty structure, refund of input tax credit shall be granted as per the following formula:- Maximum Refund Amount = {(Turnover of inverted rated supply of goods and services) x Net ITC Adjusted Total Turnover} - 18 [ {tax payable on such inverted rated supply of goods and services x (Net ITC ITC availed on inputs and input services)}. ] .

Is trading of goods is simply purchase and sale ? Or trading of goods is by assembling of goods purchase from outside ? - Reply By Kaustubh Karandikar - The Reply = Thanks all for your expert opinion.

In fact under the GST law there is no such differentiation between manufacturi .....

Taxable event is 'supply' and the supply should be determinant factor in this scenario. If the department raises such objection, it is stretching the laws. - Reply By SHARAD ANADA - The Reply = please Refer section section 54(3)(ii) where the credit has accumulated on account of rate of tax on inputs being higher than the rate of tax on output supplies (other than nil rated or fully exempt supplies), except supplies of goods or services or both as may be notified by the Government on the recommendations of the Council.

Thus if there is an inversion then trading can also be included in the turnover where rate of tax on outward is higher than inward Though one circular under GST does not support this view though there is a decision in favour - Reply By Kaustub .....

In my view, in case of trading items, if the buying rate and selling rate is same, then GST authorities is right in objecting for its inclusion in the formula unless there is some clarification / case law on the same. Secondly, we can also take a shelter of the fact that the formula is silent about the trading activity and since there is no one - to - one corelation under GST, it should be included considering the fact that GST is on supply. your kind views please - Reply By Amit Agrawal - The Reply = From the query raised, it is my understanding that Dept. is not disputing inverted duty structure in your supplies involving manufacturing and thereby, your right to get refund as .....

It is my further understanding that dispute is limited is the quantum of refund-amount to be granted where Dept.'s view is that trading turnover (having same rate of tax on inputs output supply) cannot be part of Adjusted Total turnover . From the definition of Adjusted Total turnover given u/s 89 (5) - which is made applicable to Rule 89 (5) as well - I do not see any such requirement there . Hence, stand taken by Dept. - in the situation as understood by me - is legally untenable. But, before we take this any further for discussion, kindly take a larger period of refund (say one year) and kindly let us know .....
