Question 20
We are sending our material to inter state cold storage houses or godown from
our factory What will be the procedure for sending the goods and removing the
goods from cold storage or warehouse after some time Further what will be the
impact of e-way bill in the above condition
Answer:
As per section 22, State wise registration is required for every supplier from
where he makes taxable value of goods or services or both, if his aggregate
turnover in a financial year exceeds twenty lakh rupees. Thus in your case
separate registration is required for godown and cold storage as distinct
person. According to the provisions of Section 7(1) of CGST Act, 2017 all forms
of supply of goods or services or both such as sale , transfer, barter,
exchange, licence, rental, lease or disposal etc. made for a consideration by a
person in furtherance of business would be covered under the term 'Supply'.
Supply also includes the activities made or agreed to be made even without a
consideration as specified in Schedule I.
As per schedule 1 clause 2 to the CGST Ac, Supply of goods or services or both
between related persons or between distinct persons as specified in section 25,
when made in the course or furtherance of business.
Thus all transfers between distinct person are covered under Scope of Supply
(section 7).
According to section 31(1), Tax Invoice is required to issue by a registered
person for every supply before removal of goods for Supply.
In your query it has been clearly specified that transfer to cold storage and
godown is for supply from such places. So you are required to issue tax invoice
under section 31(1) for such transfer even the goods are removed from that
places after some time. Tax invoice again will be issued when the goods are
again supplied by Godown and Cold storage at their GSTIN.
You are also required to follow E-way rules where consignment value exceeds
Rs.50000 in both situation whether moved on tax invoice or even on challan for
purpose other than supply. .(REPLY dt. 29/1/2018)
