GST is a unified tax system that replaced multiple indirect taxes levied by both the Central and State Governments. Under GST, both the Central and State Governments share the authority to levy and collect taxes on goods and services.

It allows registered businesses to claim a credit for the tax paid on their purchases of goods or services, which can be used to offset their tax liability on the supply of goods or services.
Reversal of Input Tax Credit: In certain scenarios, such as if the supplier does not pay the tax to the government or if the recipient fails to pay the supplier within 180 days, the input tax credit claimed may be reversed.
Restrictions and Conditions: There are certain restrictions and conditions on claiming input tax credit for specific goods or services, such as motor vehicles, food and beverages, and goods used for personal purposes.
Cross Utilization: Input tax credit can be utilized to offset the output tax liability under the same tax head (i.e., CGST for Central GST, SGST for State GST, or IGST for Integrated GST). Cross utilization between different heads of tax is generally not permitted.
Refund of Unutilized Credit: If the input tax credit accumulated exceeds the tax liability, a taxpayer may claim a refund of the unutilized credit in certain cases, subject to the provisions of the GST law.
The Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is a provision in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system that shifts the liability to pay tax from the supplier to the recipient of goods or services. It is applicable in certain specified scenarios where the recipient of goods or services is responsible for the payment of tax instead of the supplier.
Here’s a brief overview of the Reverse Charge Mechanism in GST:
Applicability: The Reverse Charge Mechanism is applicable in specific cases as notified by the government. It is typically imposed to ensure the collection of tax from unregistered or partially registered entities.
Registered Recipient: Under RCM, the liability to pay tax is shifted to the registered recipient of goods or services. The recipient is required to pay the tax directly to the government instead of the supplier.
Unregistered Supplier: The Reverse Charge Mechanism is generally applicable when a registered person purchases goods or services from an unregistered supplier. In such cases, the recipient is responsible for paying the tax on the transaction.
Specific Goods/Services: RCM may be applicable for specific goods or services as notified by the government. These can include goods like precious stones, certain agricultural products, etc., or services provided by certain categories of individuals or entities.
Compliance and Reporting: The recipient of goods or services under RCM is required to comply with the relevant provisions of the GST law, including registration, invoicing, and filing of returns. They need to account for the tax payable under RCM and report it in their GST returns.
Input Tax Credit: The recipient who pays tax under RCM is generally eligible to claim input tax credit for the tax paid. This can be utilized to offset their output tax liability or claimed as a refund, subject to the provisions of the GST law.
Threshold Exemption: In some cases, the Reverse Charge Mechanism may not apply if the value of goods or services received by a registered person from an unregistered supplier does not exceed a specified threshold. This threshold may vary depending on the country or jurisdiction.
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) and SAC (Services Accounting Codes) are classification systems used for the identification and categorization of goods and services under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system in India.
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature):
HSN codes are used to classify goods for tax purposes and enable uniformity in trade globally.
HSN codes are numeric codes assigned to different goods, products, or commodities.
Each HSN code consists of a specific number of digits, ranging from 2 to 8, representing different levels of classification.
The first two digits represent the chapter, followed by the next two digits indicating the heading, and subsequent digits providing further classification.
HSN codes are used to determine the applicable tax rate, exemptions, and other regulations related to specific goods.
SAC (Services Accounting Codes):
SAC codes are used to classify services for tax purposes under GST.
SAC codes are numeric codes assigned to different services provided by businesses.
Similar to HSN codes, SAC codes have a specific structure and number of digits.
SAC codes help in identifying the nature of services and determining the applicable tax rate or exemption.
They also assist in maintaining records and analyzing service-related data.
It’s important to note that HSN and SAC codes are continuously updated and revised by the GST authorities to ensure accuracy and relevance. Businesses are responsible for determining the appropriate HSN or SAC code applicable to their goods or services based on the nature and characteristics of their offerings. The use of correct codes facilitates compliance with GST regulations, including proper invoicing, tax calculation, and reporting.
