For this, 2 options have been given to the dealers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Charge GST on the full transaction value. Here, the dealer is eligible to claim\u00a0input tax credit\u00a0of the tax paid on purchase of the used goods.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Veena Marts, a registered second-hand goods dealer in Karnataka, supplies a used camera to a consumer in Delhi for selling price of Rs. 15,000. The camera was purchased for Rs. 10,000 from a registered dealer in Karnataka, on which CGST + SGST of Rs. 1,400 each was charged. (GST rate applicable to cameras is 28%)<\/p>\n<p>Here, Veena Marts will charge IGST @28% on Rs. 15,000 (selling price), which is Rs. 4,200. Veena Marts will avail ITC of CGST + SGST of Rs. 1,400 each on the camera.<\/p>\n<p>OR<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Charge GST on the\u00a0<strong>margin or profit earned on the goods<\/strong>, that is, the difference between the selling price and the purchase price. This is called the\u00a0<strong><em>Margin Scheme<\/em><\/strong>, which has been given to second-hand goods dealers. However, for a dealer to avail this scheme, the following conditions have to be fulfilled:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>The goods should be supplied as is or after minor processing, which does not change the nature of the goods<\/li>\n<li>No input tax credit should be availed on the purchase of the goods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Veena Marts supplies a used camera to a consumer in Delhi for selling price of Rs. 15,000. The camera was purchased for Rs. 10,000 from a registered dealer in Karnataka, on which CGST + SGST of Rs. 1,400 each was charged. Veena Marts has opted for the margin scheme and hence, has not availed the input credit on purchase of the used camera and has supplied the camera as is.<\/p>\n<p>Here, Veena Marts\u2019 margin earned on the camera is Rs. 5,000 (Selling price minus purchase price). On Rs. 5,000, Veena Marts has to charge GST @ 28%. Hence, IGST to be charged here is Rs. 1,400 and Veena Marts cannot avail ITC of CGST + SGST of Rs. 1,400 each.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:\u00a0<\/strong>For a dealer who has opted for the margin scheme, there can be a scenario where the second-hand goods are sold at zero margin or for a lesser price than the purchase price. In this case,\u00a0<strong>no GST will be applicable<\/strong>\u00a0on the supply.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inward_supply_of_second-hand_goods\"><\/span>Inward supply of second-hand goods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a registered second-hand goods dealer buys used goods, the supply can be either from a registered person or unregistered person. Let us look at the tax implication in both these cases:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inward_supply_from_registered_person\"><\/span>Inward supply from registered person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When a registered second-hand goods dealer purchases used goods from a registered person, the supplier is liable to charge tax at the rate applicable to the goods. If the second-hand goods dealer opts for the margin scheme, the dealer cannot take input tax credit of the tax paid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Veena Marts purchases 5 used computers from a registered dealer in Karnataka, Lakshmi Solutions, for total value of Rs. 1,00,000.<\/p>\n<p>Here, Lakshmi Solutions will levy CGST + SGST @ 9% each on the supply (Rate applicable to computers is 18%). Hence, CGST + SGST of Rs. 9,000 each is incurred by Veena Marts on this purchase. If Veena Marts has opted for the margin scheme, they cannot take the ITC of CGST + SGST of Rs. 9,000 each.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inward_supply_from_unregistered_person\"><\/span>Inward supply from unregistered person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When a registered second-hand goods dealer purchases used goods from an unregistered person, the recipient is liable to pay tax on reverse charge. However, if the second-hand goods dealer opts for the margin scheme, the dealer will\u00a0<strong>not be liable to pay tax<\/strong>on reverse charge on inward supplies from unregistered persons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0There can be scenarios where a registered second-hand goods dealer purchases used goods from a consumer. As sale by consumers is not a supply under GST (Should be in the course or for the furtherance of business), there is no tax liability on the purchase of used goods from consumers by second-hand goods dealers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Veena Marts, which has opted for the margin scheme, purchases a used camera from an unregistered dealer in Karnataka, for value of Rs. 10,000.<\/p>\n<p>Here, Veena Marts is not liable to pay CGST + SGST of Rs. 1,400 each (GST rate applicable to cameras is 28%) on reverse charge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For second-hand goods dealers, the margin scheme has been given as an option for paying tax on supply of second-hand goods. The benefit of opting for the margin scheme is that the dealer needs to pay tax only on the margin earned on sale. This is very useful for dealers who mostly purchase used goods from end customers. As there is no applicability of input tax credit on these purchases, these dealers need to pay tax only on the margin earned on sale. However, dealers opting for the scheme should ensure that ITC on the goods is not availed and the goods are supplied as is or after minor processing which does not change the nature of the goods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is in the interest of those traders who deal in second hand or used goods such as used electronic goods in the form of Mobile, Tv, AC, fridge etc &nbsp; Second-hand goods dealers deal in purchase and sale of used goods.
