FD 1/11 – Modi maakt zaken
doen in India gemakkelijker
De Wereldbank stelt de index samen op
basis van tien criteria. In India
verbeterde de score van acht hiervan.
Het land deed het al goed wat betreft
elektriciteit en leningen krijgen, maar
onder meer het beginnen van een
bedrijf, het betalen van belastingen en
het krijgen van een bouwvergunning
waren erg ingewikkeld. Regels voor al
deze praktijken werden versimpeld.
Wat betreft het gemak belasting te
betalen steeg India 53 plekken, tot 119,
nadat in juli een nieuw stelsel van
omzetbelasting werd ingevoerd. De
index heeft zijn beperkingen. Zo
worden voor de meeste landen enkel
de ervaringen in de belangrijkste stad
meegenomen, en in grote landen als
India twee steden: Delhi en Mumbai.
Volgend jaar komen daar nog acht
steden bij. Daarbij, zo schreven
onderzoekers Matthew Lillehaugen en
Milan Vaishnav in de zakenkrant Mint,
is de index een momentopname. 'Er is
een groot verschil met de reële
ervaring van bedrijven in de meeste
landen', aldus de twee, 'vooral waar de
informele economie bloeit en regels
slecht worden gehandhaafd.'

IndirectTax-Structure
Federal system
• GST is a tax on consumption;
• Regular GST system: paid GST results in a credit and charged GST is payable to the
authorities.
Structure
• There is Integrated GST, Central GST and State GST; all are filed in the portal;
• This determines if the state or the federal government obtains the GST;
• This can affect the offset of GST input tax credits. For example State GST cannot be offset
against Central GST.
• The GSP portal is used for GST registration, filing GST returns and maintaining all GST
details;
• Entirely digital system with real time error detection;
• General rule: Taxpayers need to register in every state in which they have an aggregate
turnover of over approx EUR 25,000 (or 12,500 in some less developed states). Foreign
companies may need to register for incidental transactions.

Whatconstitutesabranchforindirecttax
Business Income of a Dutch company is taxable in India only if a Dutch company has a branch in India.
A Branch office for GST purposes is assumed earlier than for Corporate Income Tax Purposes
Fixed place of business Are you liable to GST even without a branch?
• For GST purposes, it must be a place of
sufficient substance only for the
purposes of supplying and receiving
services
• Subject to meeting the turnover criteria
for registration, a business is required to
register in every state “from where a
taxable supply is made”
• For CGST and IGST purposes, a place
which is characterized by a sufficient
degree of performance and suitable
structure in terms of human and
technical resources to supply services, or
to receive and use services for its own
needs.
• Subject to meeting the turnover criteria
for registration, a business is required to
register in every state “from where a
taxable supply is made”
• No necessary relationship between a fixed establishment for the purpose of direct tax and for
Indian GST.
• For GST purposes, it must be a place of sufficient substance only for the purposes of
supplying and receiving services.
• A branch means registration for GST! It should be a single registration in a State but not
several registrations in different states also possible.

All rights reserved. 5 WhiletheIndiaopportunityisstillreal 3Investor confidence 1.68 40Financial marketstability (Globalcompetitiveness ranking2017-18) FD 1/11 – Modi maakt zaken doen in India gemakkelijker De Wereldbank stelt de index samen op basis van tien criteria. In India verbeterde de score van acht hiervan. Het land deed het al goed wat betreft elektriciteit en leningen krijgen, maar onder meer het beginnen van een bedrijf, het betalen van belastingen en het krijgen van een bouwvergunning waren erg ingewikkeld. Regels voor al deze praktijken werden versimpeld. Wat betreft het gemak belasting te betalen steeg India 53 plekken, tot 119, nadat in juli een nieuw stelsel van omzetbelasting werd ingevoerd. De index heeft zijn beperkingen. Zo worden voor de meeste landen enkel de ervaringen in de belangrijkste stad meegenomen, en in grote landen als India twee steden: Delhi en Mumbai. Volgend jaar komen daar nog acht steden bij. Daarbij, zo schreven onderzoekers Matthew Lillehaugen en Milan Vaishnav in de zakenkrant Mint, is de index een momentopname. 'Er is een groot verschil met de reële ervaring van bedrijven in de meeste landen', aldus de twee, 'vooral waar de informele economie bloeit en regels slecht worden gehandhaafd.'
