Q: Reg.Anti profiteering clause. I buy 6 raw materials and make 3 different products from them. Among 6, one raw material's input cost to me is reduced because of GST. Should I pass on the benefit to my customer, who is not end consumer? What is the formula to calculate how much I have to reduce price of my product?
G Srikanth
Ans: Hi, the Anti profiteering provisions will give rise to good amount of confusion. As per the GST law, you need to pass on the benefit of both - lower rate of GST as well as the input credit that you enjoy under GST, which you did not enjoy in the old regime.

MALTI MEHTA
Q: I have a Retail MediaCal Shop. I am opting for Composition Scheme. Suppose, in the month of Feb"2018 I found that, My T/O will exceed 75 lac then what will be Tax implication under GST. Is it that, I have to pay full tax on amount which exceeds 75 lac or on entire amount. My present T/o for 2016-17 is 30 lac approx.

Q: We are readymade garment manufacturers. Some garments are supplied to exporters with invoices against which we get H-Forms. Some are supplied as if we are job worker.

Ans: There is no concept of Form H in the GST regime. So you collect GST from your customer and he will take a refund when he exports. As for job work, it is 5% GST if it is for processing Yarn or Fabric, else 18%.
