Here are the 5 changes under the GST to be applied for New Year 2020-

1. Restriction on the Claiming of ITC- With the effect to the decision taken in the 38th GST Council Meeting, Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs has reduced the percentage of eligible ITC available for Availment, the details of which are not been shown by the supplier in GSTR-1. Earlier, the CGST rules stated that only 20% of the eligible credit can be claimed as ITC in respect of invoices or debit notes, the details of which have not been uploaded by the suppliers in GSTR-01, by a registered person. But now, the only total of 10% of such credit can be availed.

2. Commissioner has the power to block ITC under new Rule 86A- The new Rule 86A grants the power to a Commissioner to decide or vary the conditions for use of ITC available in the electronic credit register. As per the amendment, a Commissioner might not allow the debiting of the amount in the electronic credit register for the discharge of tax liabilities or claim of a refund of any unutilized amounts in the tax register if he/she has reasons to believe, that such tax credit is:

(i) Availed fraudulently based on invoices from a non-existing person or non-registered person.

(ii)Availed without the receipt of goods or services.

(iii)Availed on the strength of tax invoices which has not been paid to the government.

3. If GSTR-1 not filed, blocking the generation of E-way Bill- From January 11, 2020 non-filing of GSTR-1 for two consecutive months or quarters can lead to blocking of the generation of E-way Bill. Hence, in the year 2020, make sure that the regular filing of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B go hand in hand.

4. E-Invoicing under GST Mandatory- From April 01, 2020, it is mandated for every registered person whose aggregate turnover (including exempt supplies) on PAN India basis exceeds Rs. 100 crores in a financial year to generate e-invoices in the case of B2B supplies and report the same to the notified common portals of GST, mentioned below:

(i) www.einvoice1.gst.gov.in;

(ii) www.einvoice2.gst.gov.in;

(viii) www.einvoice8.gst.gov.in;

(ix) www.einvoice9.gst.gov.in;

(x) www.einvoice10.gst.gov.in.

The portals will be in effect from January 01, 2020, for the smooth and better accommodation and transition of the taxpayers.

5. QR codes creation for B2C supplies – With effect from April 01, 2020, Quick Response Code (QR Code) will become mandatory in the cases where an invoice is issued by a registered person, exceeding rs. 500 crore in aggregate turnover in a financial year, to an unregistered person, i.e., B2C invoice.

For the cases, where a registered person makes a Dynamic QR Code available to the receiver through a digital display, such B2C invoice issued by the registered person containing cross-reference of the payment using a Dynamic QR Code, will be deemed as QR Code.
