In the 49th meeting of the GST Council, it was suggested that a 5% GST rate be informed on Rab from March 1, 2023, if sold in labelled and pre-packaged form. Furthermore, if the product is not labelled and pre-packaged, there will be Nil GST (02/2023 and 03/2023 dated 28 February 2023).

Latest GST Technical Updates in March 2023

Below are some major GST-related updates in March 2023:

Advisory: The GSTN provides e-invoice registration services through private IRPs

Multiple private Invoice Registration Portals (IRP) have been introduced by GSTN. The taxpayers can now register their e-invoices using more than one IRP (before, there was only one NIC portal available to them). This significantly increases the single e-invoice registration portal's capacity and redundancy. You may get information about the new and current IPRs here.

One-person company advisory for taxpayers who wish to register for GST

The choice of selecting One Person or Company does not come in Form REG-01, stated in the CGST/SGST Acts. So, it does not take part in the GSTN portal either.

Whereas GSTN has recommended that if the taxpayer wishes to register for GST as a "One Person Company,” the assessee may choose the option “Others”. To do this go to Constitution of Business under the ‘Business Details’ tab through the dropdown. After that, the applicant has to choose the option "Others," add "One Person Company" to the text field, and then for completing the process they have to follow the standard registration application procedures.

Invoices with HSN codes on the IRPs Portal

It has been made necessary for taxpayers to describe a six-digit valid HSN code at the minimum for their outward supplies with Aggregate Annual Turnover (AATO) exceeding INR 50 million in any previous financial year, and applicable reporting criteria are successfully carried out in the GST System. However, on the IRP portal, the necessary implementation for e-invoices is still under process. Therefore, it is recommended that an equivalent genuine eight-digit HSN code be provided whenever a valid six-digit HSN code is not available, instead of creating a six-digit HSN code artificially.

Revenue from imported goods also saw a substantial rise of 12.1%, totalling ₹49,976 crores.  Despite the overall growth, there was a slight decrease from the ₹1.82 lakh crore collected in July 2024 when compared month-on-month.
