Gst update

GST UPDATE:

The first return of GST is here and is due for filing is 20th of August, 2017. Most of the registered persons still haven’t filed the Return GSTR-3B.
Here are some points you need to remember for filing the first GST Return GSTR-3B.
1) It is Mandatory to file GSTR-3B and there is no exemption from filing GSTR-3B even if you have not carried on any business in the month of July’2017. NIL GSTR-3B is also to be filed mandatorily.
2) GSTR-3B is the provisional return for the month of July’2017. Therefore all dealers who are required to file monthly returns under the GST Regime are required to file GSTR-3B.
Composition dealers are required to file quarterly returns therefore dealers who have opted for composition scheme are not required to file GSTR-3B.
3) GSTR-3B is not the final return for the month of July’2017 this is only a provisional return. GSTR-1, GSTR-2, GSTR-3 for July’2017 are still required to be filed.
4) GSTR-3B cannot be revised. Any revision in the figures for July’2017 has to be done through GSTR-1, 2 and 3 to be filed later on.
5) Any taxes due for July’2017 have to be paid before filing GSTR-3B.
6) If there is any change in the figures at the time of filing forms GSTR-1,2 & 3 and if there is excess tax payable then the same will have to be paid with interest before filing GSTR-3 due in September.
7) If your input credits are more than your output in GSTR-3B then you need not pay any taxes before filing this return. However, it is to be noted that no refund can be claimed in form GSTR-3B and excess credit will be credited to the ITC Ledger.
A very important point to remember about filing GSTR-3B is that the transitional credits available from the previous VAT/Service Tax/Excise regimes will not be available for credit and use in GSTR-3B. Any such credits have to be shown by filing form TRAN-1 and will be available for use only after filing TRAN-1.
9) GSTR-3B is a simplified return where only total figures of purchases, sales input tax credits and payments are to be entered. Individual entries for each sale invoice are not to be entered in this return.
10) GSTR-3B is to be filed from the period from which the registration is taken by the supplier. Therefore, if you have taken registration in the month of August’2017 the option for filing GSTR-3B for July’2017 will not be available and the no GSTR-3B is to be filed for July’2017.

SEBI UPDATE

Capital market regulator SEBI is seeking major changes to the structure of equity trading in India, evidently driven by the government’s recent realisation that it may be losing chunks of tax revenues due to a high concentration of equity trading volumes in the derivative segment. Alarming rise SEBI may soon announce measures to boost cash equity volumes and curb excessive derivative speculation, two sources close to the regulator told  BusinessLine . India’s emergence as the second-most speculative equity market globally — due to derivative trading — after South Korea, has rattled the government and SEBI. A recent study showed that the ratio of equity derivative turnover to cash segment turnover stood at 15.2:1.
