GST Query- INPUT

[VENKAT S]

Suppose a person who is having GST registration in Hyderabad (Telangana) purchases some goods in chennai and uses them in chennai itself. Since there is no movement of goods, the supplier charges CGST and SGST. Can the buyer who is situated in Hyderabad(Telangana) take the input credit of SGST and CGST? or Does he have to insist on receiving IGST invoice to get the credit?

As per my View the Vendor has to be registered in the State of Tamil Nadu for claiming input Credit. Since the transaction has been completed with in the state of TN IGST invoice cannot be obtained. I

Suppose TN supplier A at the instruction of Hyderabad party supplies goods to party B in TN.In my view supplier A in TN should issues invoice in " bill to ship to" format. TN supplier A will issue bill to Hyderabad party and in the same invoice mention TN party B to whom goods were delivered as consignee and charge IGST. Again Hyderabad buyer will issue invoice on TN party B charging IGST to whom goods were delivered by A in TN . In this case IGST will be adjusted. Even though there is no inter state movement of goods but IGST is applicable in both billings. But in no case CGST and SGST of TN can not be adjusted against Telangana CGST and SGST if party A issues invoice charging CGST and SGST.

Because its a "Bill to" , "Ship to" transaction & IGST has to be charged in bill by a supplier.

AI Summary

Understanding Input Credit Limits: Intra-State GST Transactions and 'Bill to Ship to' IGST Solutions A GST-related query was raised regarding input credit eligibility when goods are purchased and used within the same state, specifically from Chennai, while the buyer is registered in Hyderabad. The discussion clarified that since the transaction is intra-state, the supplier charges CGST and SGST, and the buyer cannot claim input credit for these taxes in another state. To claim IGST credit, the transaction should be structured as a 'bill to ship to' arrangement, where the supplier issues an IGST invoice to the Hyderabad buyer, even if the goods do not physically move between states.
