An Intersting Scenario of GST...

[P S Nath]

Dear All,

An interesting question on GST who are planning to buy vehicles from different state and want to transfer and register the vehicle in his name in different state where he lives. Assuming a scenario stated under.....

A car which was purchased in 2010 by Person X (First Purchaser) in the State A and given road tax for 10 Years in the State A itself. A Person Y(Second Purchaser) resides in State B and wants to purchase the vehicle, transfer and re-register the vehicle in his own name in State B. So The vehicle age is 6 years and Person X already paid road taxes for 10 years in State A.

Now the question...

1. After rollout of GST how much amount of Tax need to be paid by Person Y while transfer and re-registering the vehicle in State B?
2. How GST would be applicable/helpful in this scenario against the current existing system?

Interesting and hot topic as of today where Parliament is also fired with. I think it is too early to reply to the query because the rule is yet finalised. Thanks. Keep in touch we will discuss when things materialise. Thanks.

Let the GST Law/Act/Rules/Regulation/Notification/Circular/Clarification introdued from Government side. Then such queries will be answered.

Yes I am also of the same view. Thanks.

AI Summary

Goods and Services Tax applicability for inter state used vehicle transfer remains uncertain pending final GST law and rules. Applicability of Goods and Services Tax to an inter state transfer and re registration of a previously purchased motor vehicle, originally bought and road tax pre paid in one state, is uncertain. The central operative issues are the transferee's tax obligation on re registration in another state and how GST will modify existing levies. Respondents state that definitive answers await final GST legislation, rules and implementing notifications, leaving current determination of tax liability dependent on future statutory and procedural provisions.
