The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has asked its field offices to levy GST on goods in customs warehouse only at the time of final clearance.
The move is aimed at ensuring ease of doing business for importers, experts said.
In a circular to principal chief commissioners and chief commissioners, the GST policy wing of the CBIC said, "transfer/sale of goods while being deposited in a customs bonded warehouse" is a common trade practice whereby the importer files an 'into-bond' bill of entry and stores the goods in a customs bonded warehouse.
The importer then supplies such goods to another person, who then files an 'ex-bond' bill of entry for clearing the said goods from the customs bonded warehouse for home consumption.
The CBIC said that the Customs Tariff Act has been amended with effect from March 31, 2018, to state that the valuation for the purpose of levy of Integrated GST (IGST) on warehoused imported goods at the time of clearance for home consumption would be either the transaction value or valuation done at the time of filing the 'into-bond' bill of entry, whichever is higher.
The circular said that integrated tax shall be levied and collected at the time of final clearance of the warehoused goods for home consumption, which means at the time of filing the 'ex-bond' bill of entry.
However, the value addition accruing at each stage of supply would be accounted for, on which Goods and Services Tax (GST) would be payable at the time of clearance of the warehoused goods.
"The supply of goods before their clearance from the warehouse would not be subject to the levy of integrated tax and the same would be levied and collected only when the warehoused goods are cleared for home consumption from the customs bonded warehouse," the CBIC said.
This circular would be applicable for supply of warehoused goods, while being deposited in a customs bonded warehouse, on or after the April 1, 2018, it added. #casansaar (Source - DNAIndia, PTI)
