Let's address your queries one by one:
### **1. GST Jurisdiction Based on Turnover**
For a company with a turnover of more than ₹1.5 crore, the GST jurisdiction (Central or State) is determined based on the nature of the supply and the location of the business:
- **Central Tax**: The Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) is applicable on transactions where the supply of goods or services falls under the central jurisdiction, including interstate transactions.
- **State Tax**: The State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) is applicable on transactions where the supply is within the same state.
#### **Central vs. State Department:** - **State Jurisdiction**: Typically, for most business operations, the State GST Department handles compliance and audit. - **Central Jurisdiction**: Businesses with turnovers above ₹1.5 crore or those engaged in interstate transactions might also fall under the jurisdiction of the Central GST authorities.
In practice, both CGST and SGST will be applicable for intrastate transactions, and the Central GST Department handles CGST-related issues, while the State GST Department handles SGST-related issues.
### **2. Availing Input Tax Credit (ITC) for Work in Progress**
Regarding the ITC for work in progress (WIP) and input credit for CST (Central Sales Tax) transactions:
**Situation**: - **Machine Work in Progress**: 90% completed in June, 10% completed in July. - **Machine Sold**: In July. - **Input Credit**: Central purchase done in June, CST was not allowed previously.
**Handling Input Tax Credit (ITC)**:
1. **ITC on Input Goods**: - **When to Claim**: You can claim ITC on inputs used in the manufacture of goods that are sold, irrespective of whether the goods were in progress at the time of input purchase. - **Invoice Date**: The input credit should be claimed in the GST return of the period in which the goods were purchased and the input invoice was received.
2. **CST and GST Transition**: - **Transition from CST to GST**: Since CST was not allowed as input credit under the old regime, but GST allows input credit, you need to ensure the transition from CST to GST is appropriately handled. - **Input Credit Availability**: Under GST, you can claim input credit on goods purchased for manufacturing even if the final product is sold in a subsequent period.
3. **Filing Returns**: - **GSTR-1/GSTR-3B**: Ensure that your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings reflect the correct ITC claims. For the machine sold in July, you should ensure that the ITC on inputs used in the manufacture of this machine is correctly reflected in the return for the period in which the inputs were purchased.
4. **Documentation**: - **Maintain Records**: Ensure all supporting documents are maintained, including purchase invoices, manufacturing records, and sale invoices. - **Reconciliation**: Perform reconciliation to ensure that ITC claimed corresponds to the input supplies used in the production of the final product.
### **Conclusion**
1. **GST Jurisdiction**: The company will be under both Central and State GST Departments depending on the nature of transactions and their turnover.
2. **Claiming ITC**: For the machine that was completed in July, you can claim input credit on the purchases made in June. Ensure that the claim is made correctly in the GST returns for the period of purchase and that all supporting documentation is in place.
