how to brought forward old stock

[chandan arora]

hello

sir, i am a retailer of paint and hardware and plywood goods, however on the date 30/6/17 i have stock of the value 30 lacs, and i am a tin number holder. i used to file vat returns, and all of my purchases was from ltd compnies ( asian paints, nippon paints) , or from the distibuters who are registerd under vat system. as now G.S.T arrived so according to my sale of last finacial year was 56 lacs, so i chosse composition scheme of G.S.T , as i read that now i only need to pay 1 % on my entire sale of this year. that is all clear.

what some advocates are saying that as i was a tin number holder thats why i have to pay some taxs on my old stock with rates accordingly .

here i want to know what will happen to my old stock, should i pay only 1% or there should be anything else . ?

If as on 30.6.17, you held stock pertaining to inter-state sale or stock from un registered dealer, that make you in-eligible for composition Scheme.

I endorse the views of Shri Kasthuri Sethi.

As per the composition rules, if your stock is out of inter state purchases, then you are not eligible for composition.
Else you can go for composition and all your credit in VAt returns shall lapse

A Composition dealer can purchase the stock via Inter State but he can not sell interstate , there is no restriction in purchase via Inter State for Composition dealer

AI Summary

Composition scheme eligibility depends on old stock sourcing; inter state or unregistered purchases affect eligibility and credit transition. Composition scheme eligibility for a retailer depends on the character of closing stock as of the GST commencement date and the source of prior purchases; stock from inter state suppliers or unregistered sellers can preclude composition. On transition, VAT-era input credits lapse for a dealer who opts for composition, and inter state purchases affect eligibility though composition status does not per se prohibit inter state acquisition.
