..... or services. So from the provision of the notification above in my understanding it provides for the invoicing of tax invoices of 177 items which rate of tax has been changed on 23rd meeting of the GST council. As notification has been passed in this regard the new rates has been notified so those who has taken advances in this regard or supplied goods and payment is yet to be received, what rate will be applicable was provided under section 14. Further the provision of sections referred under the aforesaid notification not amended clause (d) of sub section (3) of section 31 of CGST Act,2017 , which provides regarding the treatment of advance received by the supplies of goods. No further notification comes out amending the clause .....

..... of this sub section. So, in my view from the discussion above the Notification will only applicable for the change on rates of goods on 23rd meeting of GST council and not related for the common practice which is still following under the clause of sub section of section 31 as referred by me above. If I am wrong in understanding the notification, kindly let me know with relevant provisions in this regard as no such news comes out from CBEC or GST council that they exempt all the advances from GST yet. Please let me know. THANKS. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = Sri Gopal Sir, Notification 66/2017-CT states that the registered person (other than composition dealer) shall pay the central tax on the outward supply of go .....

..... ods at the time of supply as specified in clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 12 of the said Act including in the situations ... Section 12 provides for time of supply which provides for the time for payment of tax. Section 12 (2)(a) provides that time of supply shall be the date of issue of invoice by the supplier or the last date on which he is required, under sub-section (1) of section 31, to issue the invoice with respect to the supply. From the above it clarifies that a registered person shall pay tax only when the invoice is issued or the last date on which he is required to issue the invoice. Thus, it implies that tax is not required to be paid on receipt of advance from the customer. - Reply By CS SANJAY MALHO .....

..... ification itself. Whereas on the same date amendment in rates of 177 items comes out, so I was awaited for the clarification, views or press release in this regard, because if we advice any company to do so and on later date if department come out with there views where it is amended that exemption is provided on all supplies etc etc , So I raised this query to know your valuable opinion. As the notification no.66/2017-CT hasn't specify that it is applicable on those goods which rates where amended w.e.f 15.11.2017, we can go by this view that it is applicable on all supplies, but whereas as said by me in my previous post that clause (d) of sub section (3) of section 31 is not get amended so that part I miss somewhere to co .....
