Deduction of GST at Source
We have manufactured, supplied and billed some equipment in the month of June & charged VAT. Payment for the same is being released in the month of July. The Municipal council insists that they will deduct GST from our bills at applicable rates.
my questions are
1. Is is correct to deduct GST from bills issued in June & paid after 1st July.
2. Is it at all legal for the municipal councils to deduct GST?
3. where & how will they deposit the amount so deducted?
4. how will we get input tax credit? more
we are going to face this problem for every supply we make after 1st July. more
regarding point No.2, I too did some research on the subject. As per section 51 of the GST act, some notified departments can deduct tax at source @ 1%, if the bill value exceeds 2.5 lacs. these departments also have to register themselves with GST & submit electronic returns within the due date as specified for others. ITC will be available on these deductions. more
