Legal Complainces for StartUps

Startups are prone to go haywire in terms of delivery, execution, and setup costs. Amongst everything, it gets taxing to think and execute tasks related to tax. But this is an important financial element that one can not afford to overlook. A startup may incur losses in initial years and those go unaccounted. But then there are chances to save a new business from further financial losses by shielding it with tax benefits.

Here are five important tax tips for startups useful at many levels – from starting to each stage of progress.

1. Compliance With Tax Norms Makes Life Easier

As a startup, you would want to focus all your efforts and energies in offering better solutions to your customers. The entire concept of compliance is to set you free from other legal requirements and do what you do best – focus on core business. Tax norms help businesses to get clarity on implications of tax in the finances. Once done, the aim should be to have better financial planning by keeping in mind the applicable taxability and other compliance-related expenditures.

2. Hire/Consult Tax Professionals

3. Learn About the Broad Norms

Awareness plays a major role when it comes to knowing the legalities involved in running a business. And since the tax is one of the core concerns that new businesses have, an overall & general know-how becomes indispensable. It is essential that startups get acquainted with the applicable laws and provisions. Complying with such standards may prove to be a daunting task given the wide scope and comprehending deeper aspects involved. The Income Tax Act of India, 1961, allows legal authorities to strictly govern income tax along with rigorous checks and harsh penalties imposed upon defaulters.

4. Know Your Rights and Benefits as a Taxpayer

Tax regulations will certainly impact your business as it has its own set of implications that your business cannot escape from. The best thing is to know the rights that you enjoy as a taxpayer. For example, 100per cent tax exemption on profit gains for the first three years with the exception of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT, 18.5per cent). Then there are exemptions on capital gain tax, the abolition of angel investment tax, and SEBI directed Funds of Funds. Such benefits must be observed and startups should leverage plenty such tax laws and regulation. Doing so will also improve the acceptability levels with VCs, investors, and banks.

5. Deeper Insights for Future Planning

For better returns and future financial goals, avoiding taxation can prove disastrous. Startups should dwell deeper to gain important insights that will help those at the helm of affairs to take right decisions. You will learn to allocate resources – channel your finances for better returns – envision financial goalkeeping taxability in mind. There are chances that your future launch may get affected by the tax norms and other requirements. Ensure a tight watch over every minuscule change in the tax regime and align it for your business requirements.

Angel Tax

However, it is time for startups to breathe at ease as angel tax is about to be a thing of past. As per media reports, the income tax department has notified about 120 startups that they are exempted of angel tax.

Business daily Livemint reported that about 150 firms had applied for tax relief of which 120 have received the tag of ‘startup’. The intimation was sent to startups in the last few days under a new scheme announced in February which brings an end the much talked about angel tax in the startup community.

On February 19 this year, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), in an announcement, broaden the definition of a ‘startup’ and exempted investors and entrepreneurs from the so-called ‘draconian’ angel tax. As per the new norms, an entity is a startup up to 10-years of its establishment and its turnover hasn’t exceeded INR 100 crores.

Anuj Golecha, Co-Founder, Venture Catalysts says with the relaxation of angel tax norms, the government has given a major relief to startups. Earlier there were a lot of redundancies, stretched timelines, and red-tapism due to the procedures, which will now be eliminated.

“This move will further ensure a conducive environment and enable quick processes for budding entrepreneurs. These numerous measures have widened the scope of startups and eased investment in startups across the network, which is a very positive development,” he said.

Even though the government has addressed the problem, investors are now keen to understand if they could implement the notification smoothly. Anil Joshi from Unicorn Ventures is sure these reforms will evolve and the government will actively keep making changes as system demands.

“However, if they are not implemented properly then I fear that angels may dissociate themselves from investments as no one wants to get into scrutiny for investment from tax paid income,” he added.

What Next?

Now that angel tax will have been relaxed and it will haunt fewer startups, can India truly be startup nation? Well, honestly – there is a long way to go.

Presently, India stands tall among the top countries as a startup nation. However, at the ground, the government and ecosystem have a lot of work to do to truly call India a startup nation.

From StartupIndia to DigitalIndia, there have been several initiatives that have been kicked off by the central government while on the other side even states have tried to nurture entrepreneurship in their regions. But often while discussing regulator related issues, we often forget to seek Indian Inc’s participation to develop the ecosystem.

“We need active participation from corporates to make the ecosystem more vibrant.  They need to actively involve with startups for a solution and also actively scout for acquisition,” Joshi says.

On the other hand, Lakshmi Potluri-CEO, DCF Ventures says the efforts of both the state and central government have started to show. Having said, rural and non-tech entrepreneurs still need a lot of nurturing and handholding to grow into scalable businesses.

“Entrepreneurs outside tier I cities with great ideas are yet to be tapped and nurtured as access to information/mentors is limited or nonexistent. The ecosystem should look at creating opportunities to showcase a variety of startups to the industry in different domestic, industry shows, global platforms, etc.  Lastly, more cross border best practices exchange from successful ecosystems such as Israel, Germany etc., will be a wonderful opportunity and insight for those who are running such startup/entrepreneurship facilitation ecosystems,” she adds.

GST Updates

1.All invoices for business-to-business sales by entities beyond a specified turnover threshold will be generated on a centralised government portal by September, a move aimed at curbing the menace of fake invoices and evasion of GST, officials said.
2.The revenue secretary is monitoring the progress of implementation of electronic or e-invoice project for which an officers’ committee has already been set up, they added.
3.”E-invoice for B2B transactions will be rolled out in next three-four months in a phased manner. The entire invoice would have to be generated on a government portal,” an official toldPTI.
4.The move will help in curbing Goods and Services Tax (GST) evasion through issue of fake invoices. Besides, it would make the returns filing process simpler for businesses as invoice data would already be captured by a centralised portal.
5.”Once rolled out, the e-invoice project will allow businesses to simultaneously generate e-way bill, if needed,” the official added. E-way bill is required for moving goods exceeding Rs 50,000.
6.Depending on the success of the project in the B2B segment, the revenue department would be looking at extending it to business-to-consumer (B2C) sales, especially in sectors where the probability of tax evasion is high.
7.Businesses beyond the specified turnover threshold, to be decided later, would be provided a software which will be linked to the GST Network (GSTN) or a government portal for generating e-invoice. The threshold can also be fixed on the basis of the value of invoice.
8.The e-invoice generation method will be similar to the one being followed for e-way bill on the ‘ewaybill.nic.in‘ portal or payment of GST on the GSTN portal.
9.A 13-member officers’ committee, comprising central and state tax officials as well as the GST Network Chief Executive, has been set up to look into the feasibility of introducing e-invoice system to streamline generation of invoices and easing compliance burden. The committee will finalise its interim report this month.
10.The proposed ‘e-invoice’ is part of the exercise to check GST evasion. With almost two years into GST implementation, the government is now focussing on anti-evasion measures to shore up revenue and increase compliance.
11. There are over 1.21 crore registered businesses under the GST, of which 20 lakh are under the composition scheme.

Expensive cars, jewellery to become cheaper as TCS to be out of GST working

Under Income Tax Act, tax collection at source is levied at 1% on purchase of vehicles above Rs 10 lakh, jewellery exceeding Rs 5 lakh and bullion over Rs 2 lakh

In a relief to buyers of high-value cars and jewellery, the CBIC has said that the TCS amount would be excluded from the value of goods for computing GST liability.

Under the Income Tax Act, tax collection at source (TCS) is levied at 1 per cent on purchase of motor vehicles above Rs 10 lakh, jewellery exceeding Rs 5 lakh and bullion over Rs 2 lakh. TCS is also levied on other purchases at different rates.

Earlier in December, the CBIC had said that the TCS amount would also be included while ascertaining the GST liability on goods on which TCS is applicable under the I-T Act.

In view of the representations received from various stakeholders and after consultation with the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the CBIC has decided to exclude the TCS amount paid while valuing the goods for the purpose to levy GST.

The CBDT has clarified that TCS is not a tax on goods but an interim levy on the possible “income” arising from the sale of goods by the buyer and to be adjusted against the final income-tax liability.

“For the purpose of determination of value of supply under GST, Tax collected at source (TCS) under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 would not be includible as it is an interim levy not having the character of tax,” the CBIC said.

While most industry players already believed that GST should not be levied on the Income tax TCS component, given the otherwise clarification by the Government, they were quite apprehensive of litigation on this aspect”.

“Recent corrigendum of CBIC eased the calculation process by breaking the circular referencing which would also result in marginally rationalising the tax payments (GST and income tax both),” Mohan said.

Complaince under GST

A Compliance audit involves verifying that the GST has been properly accounted for in your business transactions, and to ensure that the information is correctly reported in your GST Returns. This includes checking if your supplies are classified correctly, if GST was properly charged and accounted for, if input tax was claimed correctly, and if the values of supplies, purchases and taxes reported are complete. Compliance audit shall demonstrate the organisation’s process of recording transactions into computer system is correct.

The primary purpose of compliance audit is to ensure that organizations are well aware and fully compliant with the GST laws and regulations. Compliance audit will be “advisory” in nature to facilitate the businesses to understand their compliance requirements.

Some of the critical GST compliance requirements are listed below:

Under GST a tax invoice is an important document. It not only evidences supply of goods or services, but is also an essential document for the recipient to avail Input Tax Credit (ITC). A registered person cannot avail input tax credit unless he is in possession of a tax invoice or a debit note.

Schedule II of the CGST Act, 2017 lists a few activities which are to be treated as supply of goods or supply of services. For instance, any transfer of title to goods would be a supply of goods, whereas any transfer of right in goods without transfer of title would be considered as services.

GST is essentially a tax only on commercial transactions. Hence only those supplies that are in the course or furtherance of business qualify as Supply under GST. Hence any supplies made by an individual in his personal capacity do not come under the ambit of GST unless they fall within the definition of business as defined in the Act.

A supplier cannot take ITC of GST paid on goods or services used to make supplies on which recipient is liable to pay tax. – Any amount payable under reverse charge shall be paid by debiting the electronic cash ledger. In other words, reverse charge liability cannot be discharged by using input tax credit. However, after discharging reverse charge liability, credit of the same can be taken by the recipient, if he is otherwise eligible.

Section 35 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that every registered person shall keep and maintain, at his principal place of business, as mentioned in the certificate of registration, a true and correct account of…

  • a. production or manufacture of goods;
  • b. inward and outward supply of goods or services or both;
  • c. stock of goods;
  • d. input tax credit availed;
  • e. output tax payable and paid; and
  • f. such other particulars as may be prescribed.

In addition, the rules also provide that the registered person shall keep and maintain records of –

  • a) goods or services imported or exported; or
  • b) supplies attracting payment of tax on reverse charge

along with relevant documents, including invoices, bills of supply, delivery challans, credit notes, debit notes, receipt vouchers, payment vouchers, refund vouchers and e-way bills.

monthly production accounts, showing the quantitative details of raw materials or services used in the manufacture and quantitative details of the goods so manufactured including the waste and by products thereof;

accounts showing the quantitative details of goods used in the provision of services, details of input services utilized and the services supplied;

Separate accounts for works contract showing –

  • the names and addresses of the persons on whose behalf the works contract is executed;
  • description, value and quantity (wherever applicable) of goods or services received for the execution of works contract;
  • description, value and quantity (wherever applicable) of goods or services utilized in the execution of works contract;
  • the details of payment received in respect of each works contract; and
  • the names and addresses of suppliers from whom he has received goods or services.
  • Any entry in registers, accounts and documents shall not be erased, effaced or overwritten, and all incorrect entries, otherwise than those of clerical nature, shall be scored out under attestation and thereafter correct entry shall be recorded, and where the registers and other documents are maintained electronically, a log of every entry edited or deleted shall be maintained. Further each volume of books of account maintained manually by the registered person shall be serially numbered.
  • Monthly reconciliation of Supplies as per Eway bill and GSTR 1.
  • E-way bill is to be issued irrespective of whether the movement of goods is caused by reasons of supply or otherwise. In respect of transportation for reasons other than supply, movement could be in view of export/import, job work, SKD or CKD, recipient not known, line sales, sales returns, exhibition or fairs, for own use, sale on approval basis etc.

GST Registration

GST is a comprehensive indirect tax that has replaced many levies from the manufacturer to supplier to customer. The Goods and Service Tax Act, which was passed in the Parliament on March 29, 2017, came into effect on July 1, 2017. India has adopted a dual GST model, where both states and central government levy tax on goods and/or services.  Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration is a must for every business owner whose annual turnover exceeds Rs 20.00 Lakhs.

GST is the biggest tax reform in India, tremendously improving ease of doing business and increasing the taxpayer base in India by bringing in millions of small businesses in India. By abolishing and subsuming multiple taxes into a single system, tax complexities would be reduced while tax base is increased substantially.

Under the new GST regime, all entities involved in buying or selling goods or providing services or both are required to register for GST. Entities without GST registration would not be allowed to collect GST from a customer or claim input tax credit of GST paid or could be penalised. Further, registration under GST is mandatory once an entity crosses the minimum threshold turnover of starts a new business that is expected to cross the prescribed turnover.

In the GST Regime, businesses whose turnover exceeds Rs. 20 lakhs (Rs 10 lakhs for NE and hill states) is required to register as a normal taxable person. This process of registration is called GST registration.

For certain businesses, registration under GST is mandatory. If the organization carries on business without registering under GST, it will be an offence under GST and heavy penalties will apply.

GST Registration is one time registration and no need to renewal.  GST registration also work as new proprietorship firm registration for starting business and open current bank account to manage sale, purchase and consultancy.

Who Should Register for GST?

  • Individuals registered under the Pre-GST law (i.e., Excise, VAT, Service Tax etc.)
  • Businesses with turnover above the threshold limit of Rs. 20 Lakhs (Rs. 10 Lakhs for North-Eastern States, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand)
  • Casual taxable person / Non-Resident taxable person
  • Agents of a supplier & Input service distributor
  • Those paying tax under the reverse charge mechanism
  • Person who supplies via e-commerce aggregator
  • Every e-commerce aggregator
  • Person supplying online information and database access or retrieval services from a place outside India to a person in India, other than a registered taxable person

Penalty for Not Registering Under GST

An offender who is not paying tax or fails to make full payment (genuine errors) will be penalized 10% of the tax amount due. The minimum penalty will be Rs. 10,000 if the 10% amounts to a lesser figure. In case the offender has intentionally evaded payment of taxes, the penalty levied will be 100% of the tax amount due.
