  • It’s has been over 60 days since government demonetised 500 and 1,000 rupees notes. It was a major decision which had its impact on all sections of the society. Demonetisation has given a new direction to the way people do monetary transactions in India. Just like a coin has a flip side, demonetisation too has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Demonetisation

  1. A major advantage of demonetisation is that it helped the government track black money. Large sums of black money was kept hidden by tax evaders. Demonetisation helped government uncover huge amount of unaccounted cash. According to estimates made by RBI, people have deposited more than rupees 3 lakh crores worth of black money in the bank accounts. This has helped the government in slowing down the plague of parallel economy.
  2. A major reason behind demonetisation was that a big part of black money was being used for funding terrorism, gambling, in inflating the price of major assets classes like real estate, gold and other social evils. Demonetisation is acting as an effective countermeasure against such activities. Now all such activities will get reduced for some time and also it will take years for people to generate that amount of black money again and hence in a way it helps in putting an end this circle of people doing illegal activities to earn black money and using that black money to do more illegal activities.

INTRODUCTION:

  • Tax point or time of supply provided under revised Model GST Law is different from current scenario. In excise, time of supply is removal of goods. In service tax, point of taxation is date of invoice and date of payment subject to date of completion of service. However, in VAT Laws, tax point is date of invoice since sale cannot be made without invoice. But under GST, provisions for time of supply of goods and services have been provided separately to avoid such ambiguities. Here we are providing decoding of time of supply under GST Model Law.

DECODING OF TIME OF SUPPLY OF GOODS

  • Revised Model GST Law has defined the time of supply of GOODS under 4 categories:
    • Time of supply of goods under forward charge.
    • Time of supply of goods under reverse charge.
    • Time of supply in case of supply of vouchers.
    • Residuary clause.
