2. Vide GO Ms. No.492 Revenue (CT-II) Dt.03.11.2017 {corresponding notification No. 36/2017-Central Tax (Rate)} and notification No. 37/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) both dated 13.10.2017, it has been notified that intra-State and inter-State supply respectively of used vehicles, seized and confiscated goods, old and used goods, waste and scrap by the Central Government, State Government, Union territory or a local authority to any registered person, would be subject to GST on reverse charge basis as per which tax is payable by the recipient of such supplies.

3. A doubt has arisen about taxability of intra-State and inter-State supply of used vehicles, seized and confiscated goods, old and used goods, waste and scrap made by the Central Government, State Government, Union territory or a local authority to an unregistered person.

4. It was noted that such supply to an unregistered person is also a taxable supply under GST but is not covered under GO Ms. No.492 Revenue (CT-II) Dt.03.11.2017 {corresponding notification No. 36/2017-Central Tax (Rate)} and notification No. 37/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) both dated 13.10.2017.

5. In this regard, it is clarified that the respective Government departments (i.e. Central Government, State Government, Union territory or a local authority) shall be liable to get registered and pay GST on intra-State and inter-State supply of used vehicles, seized and confiscated goods, old and used goods, waste and scrap made by them to an unregistered person subject to the provisions of sections 22 and 24 of the APGST Act.

2. It may be noted that a show cause notice (SCN for short) is required to be issued to a person where it appears to the proper officer that any tax has not been paid or short paid or erroneously refunded or where input tax credit has been wrongly availed or utilised for any reason under the provisions of section 73(1) of the APGST Act. The provisions of section 73(11) of the APGST Act can be invoked only when the provisions of section 73 are invoked.

3.The provisions of section 73 of the APGST Act are generally not invoked in case of delayed filing of the return in FORM GSTR-3B because tax along with applicable interest has already been paid but after the due date for payment of such tax. It is accordingly clarified that penalty under the provisions of section 73(11) of the APGST Act is not payable in such cases. It is further clarified that since the tax has been paid late in contravention of the provisions of the APGST Act, a general penalty under section 125 of the APGST Act may be imposed after following the due process of law.

2. It is accordingly clarified that in case of revision of prices, after the appointed date, of any goods or services supplied before the appointed day thereby requiring issuance of any supplementary invoice, debit note or credit note, the rate as per the provisions of the GST Acts (both CGST and SGST or IGST) would be applicable.

2. It is clarified that the long line written in clause (a) in G.O.Ms.No.476 Rev.(CT-II) Dept. Dt.20-09-2018{ corresponding notification No. 50/2018-Central Tax dated 13.09.2018.}is applicable to both the items (i) and (ii) of clause (a) of the said notification. Thus, an authority or a board or any other body whether set up by an Act of Parliament or a State Legislature or established by any Government with fifty-one per cent. or more participation by way of equity or control, to carry out any function would only be liable to deduct tax at source.

3. In other words, the provisions of section 51 of the APGST Act are applicable only to such authority or a board or any other body set up by an Act of parliament or a State legislature or established by any Government in which fifty one per cent. or more participation by way of equity or control is with the Government.
