992 LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT [PART–II

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Puducherry Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 was enacted with a view to make a provision for levy and collection of tax on intra-State supply of goods or services or both by the Government.

2. The Act provides for certain provisions for smooth transition of existing taxpayers to new goods and services tax regime. However, the new tax regime had faced certain difficulties. One of the major inconveniences caused to the taxpayers, especially small and medium enterprises, was the process of filing return and payment of tax under the Goods and Services Tax laws. In this regard, the proposed new return filing system envisages quarterly filing of return and tax payment for small taxpayers along with minimum paperwork. In order to implement the new return filing system, and also to overcome the above difficulties, it is proposed to amend the Puducherry Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.

3. The proposed Puducherry Goods and Services Tax (Amendment)

Bill, 2018, inter alia, provides for the following, namely:–

(i) to amend section 7 of the Act to clarify the scope of supply;

(ii) to amend section 9 of the Act empowering the State Government to notify classes of registered persons to pay the tax on reverse charge basis in respect of receipt of supplies of certain specified categories of goods or services or both from unregistered suppliers;

(iii) to amend section 10 of the Act so as to enhance the limit of

composition levy from one crore rupees to one crore and fifty lakh rupees;

(iv) to amend section 17 of the Act to specify the scope of input tax

credit;

(v) to amend section 25 of the Act so as to facilitate tax payer to have the option to obtain multiple registrations for multiple places of business located within the same State or Union Territory and to provide for separate registration for Special Economic Zone unit or developer;

(vi) to amend section 29 of the Act so as to insert a provision for temporary suspension of registration while cancellation of registration is under process;

(vii) to insert a new section 43A so as to provide for the new system

of filing return and availing input tax credit;

(viii) to amend sub-section (6) of section 107 of the Act relating to Appeals so as to provide that the amount of pre-deposit payable for filing of appeal shall be capped at twenty five crore rupees; and 993

PART–II] LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT

(ix) to amend section 129 of the Act so as to increase the period relating

to detention or seizure of goods and conveyance in transit from seven days to

fourteen days.

4. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives.

V. NARAYANASAMY,

Chief Minister.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

The proposed Puducherry Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2018

does not involve any recurring or non-recurring expenditure from the

Consolidated Fund of the Union territory of Puducherry.

————

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

Clause 13 of the Bill empowers the Government to prescribe the procedure

for allowing persons having multiple places of business in a State or Union

territory to obtain separate registrations for each such place of business.

Clause 14 of the Bill empowers the Government to prescribe the procedure

for suspension of registration while cancellation of registration is under process.

Clause 17 of the Bill empowers the Government to prescribe the procedure

for filing of returns and payment of taxes.

Clause 18 of the Bill empowers the Government to prescribe the procedure

for furnishing returns and availing input tax credit.

Clause 21 of the Bill empowers the Government to prescribe the specific

order of utilisation of input tax credit of any of the taxes.

2. The matters in respect of which the rules may be made are generally

matters of procedure and administrative details and it is not practicable to

provide for them in the Bill itself. The delegation of legislative powers is,

therefore, of a normal character.
