Input service distributor

An Input Service Distributor is a unit who receives GST (CGST/IGST/SGST) invoices for goods and services related to its branches. It is common for HO (Corporate Office) of large manufacturing organizations to receive services related to Audit and taxation, maintenance services (ERP) on behalf of its branches. In such cases, the Invoice along with tax is raised with HO. Since HO does not have any selling activity, the tax benefit remains utilized if not passed to the respective branches. GST law gives the benefit to use the same by branches with certain conditions and rules laid down by GST law. I have tried to put the solution given by SAP for ISD and rules given by GST law.

The concept of ISD under GST is a legacy carried over from the Service Tax Regime. The government of India has laid down certain conditions and rules in order to help the entities claim ISD tax on the services rendered to the HO or corporate office as mentioned in below picture.

ISD Applicability and Rules

• Legal requirement

ISD is applicable for common services rendered at HO

Pre GST law called as service tax

HO to take a separate registration as such ISD registration number

HO (ISD) and branches should have same PAN number

• Distribution ISD between branches

Tax directly attributable to any branch, then 100% can be distributed to that particular branch

Incase distributable tax can’t be ascertained, then turnover of last year should be taken as the base of distribution.

• Month end activity and GST return

v ISD to furnish the return in FORM GSTR-6

v Details on the tax invoice on which credit has been received

• Non applicability of tax under ISD

v Relating to input (Goods) and capital goods

v Relating to services where reverse charge mechanism is applicable.
