Amendments in Point of Taxation Rules, 2011 and other related provisions

Point of Taxation: tax due on invoice date or payment, with payment-based point for exports and reverse-charge services

The Point of Taxation Rules now make the tax point the earlier of invoice date or payment when invoices are issued within the prescribed period, otherwise the date of completion of service or payment applies; continuous supply is defined by contractually specified completion events and takes primacy; payment-based point applies to exports, reverse-charge supplies and certain professional providers, with special timing and transitional rules and aligned amendments to invoice issuance and input credit conditions.
