In this situation, the department workplace in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) equipped beef up products and services like engineering products and services, design products and services and accounting products and services to its head workplace in Bangalore, which was once registered in Karnataka beneath the GST Act.
For GST to be prompted, there should be a ‘provide’ of products or products and services. The moot query sooner than the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) whether or not provision of products and services through a department workplace in a single state to its head workplace in every other state, thru staff who’re not unusual to the corporate, constitutes a ‘provide’ of products and services.
A bodily presence of a unit, corresponding to the pinnacle workplace or department places of work, necessitates a GST registration. In different phrases, the registrations are state-specific. The AAR held that every registered unit is a ‘distinct particular person’. A transaction between distinct individuals even with out attention is termed as a provide and is taxable. When the products and services of staff deployed in a registered office are equipped to every other registered premises of the corporate, it’s handled as a provide and is matter to GST at 18%.

According to tax execs and business mavens, increasingly more throughout the process checks, the problem of whether or not an organization has equipped for a cross-charge for intra-company products and services and whether or not GST has been accumulated robotically comes up for exam.
Abhishek Jainspouse and head (oblique tax) at KPMG-India says, “Identification of employees and determining the value of the cross-charge in respect of services provided by them, across various registered units in a company, is a challenge. Further, this Entire process of cross-charging of salary itself may lead to further litigation.”

He illustrates in case of a medical institution, whilst offering scientific products and services (the output) is exempt from GST, the cross-charge for intra-company products and services isn’t exempt from GST. The medical institution would no longer have the ability to take enter tax credit score for the GST paid on cross-charges.

Thus, intra- company services were not taxable. GST has made it costly and cumbersome to carry out intra -company services, which are required for efficient running of a business.”
