GST update – Customer Accounting for Prescribed Goods
Customer accounting for certain products will be implemented to prevent fraudulent schemes where the seller escapes by collecting GST update, but businesses further down the supply chain continue to demand input tax. The prescribed products are mobile phones, memory cards and off-the-shelf software, which are commonly used in these fraudulent schemes.
The GST-registered customer has to apply the customer’s accounting for the relevant supply of the product prescribed for his business purpose. A relevant supply is:
1. Local sales of a specified product whose GST-exclusive sale price exceeds 25% per unit invoice
2. supply is not an exception.
2. supply is not an exception.
Under customer accounting, responsibility for output tax on supplies is transferred from the supplier to the customer.
