"Treatise on Schedule III of the CGST Act, 2017" is a comprehensive legal commentary dedicated to one of the most critical, yet often misunderstood, components of the Goods and Services Tax framework in India. Schedule III enumerates transactions or activities that are neither treated as a supply of goods nor a supply of services, and hence fall outside the scope of GST altogether.
This treatise offers an in-depth exploration of:
The legislative intent behind excluding certain transactions from GST
Detailed analysis of each entry in Schedule III
Evolution of jurisprudence on "non-supply" under GST
Judicial interpretations and Supreme Court / High Court rulings
Practical implications for taxpayers, professionals, and regulators
Analysis of key inclusions like:
Services by employees to employers
Functions of constitutional authorities
Sale of land and completed buildings
Actionable claims
Duties performed by MPs/MLAs
Funeral and related services
The book further evaluates notified changes to Schedule III, including the retrospective inclusion of certain activities (e.g., high sea sales, merchant trading) via amendments and clarifications from CBIC and the GST Council.
Each chapter is enriched with:
Comparative references to global VAT/GST regimes
Practical illustrations and use cases
Compliance guidance for audits and assessments
Risk mitigation strategies for classification of transactions
