Whether Interest income and schedule III supply will be considered as exempt supply for the purpose of reversal of common input credit under Rule 42 and Rule 43 . Thanks and Regards, Sanjay Jain - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = (i) Activities or transactions mentioned in Schedule-III ( Section 7 of CGST Act, 2017 ) are neither supply of goods nor supply of services. Hence these are out of scope (jurisdiction) of GST . These cannot fall under, exempt supply as defined under Section 2 (47) of CGST Act, 2017 . Before terming any activity or transaction as exempt supply or non-taxable supply or taxable supply (whatever the case may be) it must conform to the definition/scope of supply .

We should talk about exemption/taxability/non-taxability only when it is supply. Hence activities mentioned in Schedule-III cannot be considered as exempt supplies for the purpose of reversal of ITC. (ii) Every type of interest is not to be treated as exempt supply for the purpose of reversal of ITC. Only interest earned (in a normal routine) on account of taxable business is to be treated as exempt supply for the said purpose. - Reply By SANJAY JAIN - The Reply = Dear Kasturiji, Thanks for your quick response.

Hence there is scope of litigation if we do not reverse the common input tax credit on high sea sale treating as exempt supply. As per exemption notifications, service by way of interest on the deposit is exempt supply, whether we have to consider the same as exempt supply for the purpose of section 42 . Can you please provide relevant notification/ rules. Thanks and Regards, Sanjay Jain - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Sale of land, sale of building mentioned in Schedule -III is subject to Schedule-II (Paragraph-5). - Reply By CASusheel Gupta - The Reply = Sir as per Explanation 1 to Rule 43 .....

Non taxable supply has been defined in section 2(78) as belows: (78) non-taxable supply means a supply of goods or services or both which is not leviable to tax under this Act or under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act ; Since schedule III items are no supply, the department may take a view it is non taxable supply and included in exempt supply.

Schedule III activities shall not be included in exempt supply Liquor, petrol, diesel are products which are classifiable as Non Taxable products and shall partake exempt supply Thanks and Regards - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Dear Querist, The department cannot take such view as apprehended by you. The Department cannot brush aside the constitution of India. Schedule-III is part of the Act. No-supplies have been defined in this Schedule. It is not a circular or FAQ which have no statutory force. For your satisfaction, there is a world of difference among the words/terms Supply , No supp .....

It is correct that non-taxable supply is part of exempt supply but no-supply cannot part of exempt supply. No-supply means supply does not exist. Taxable event is supply. When supply does not exist, how it can be part of exempt supply ? Any thing which has no existence, how can it be part of any thing ? First of all existence (of supply) is required. Thereafter, you should talk of making it part of anything (exempt supply). You are not to worry. If you still worry, I shall call it phobia of the department. Phobia means fear which does not exist. - Reply By SANJAY JAIN - The Reply = Dear Kasturiji, I agree with your view, but there is controversy created .....

You must note that there are separate columns for exempted (D), Zero rated, nil rated etc. in this return against Section 5 . It clearly shows that exempted supply is treated separately.

When we deal in non-GST supply/no supply, not to speak of reversal of ITC, GST law cannot touch it (supply). Even nil rate of duty is also a rate of duty as held by the Supreme Court. All exempted supplies are taxable supplies, these are exempt supplies only by virtue of any notification. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = It appears to me that the intention behind creating columns of 'non-GST supply', NIl rated supply, zero rated supply, exempt supply in various prescribed returns by the Govt. is that some person may not avail exemption from GST wrongly by wa .....
