FAQ on Job Work under GST (Goods and Service Tax)
Q 1. What is job work?
Ans. Job work means undertaking any treatment or process by a person on goods belonging to another registered taxable person. The person who is treating or processing the goods belonging to other person is called ‘job worker’ and the person to whom the goods belongs is called ‘principal’.
This definition is much wider than the one given in Notification No. 214/86 – CE dated 23rd March, 1986. In the said notification, job work has been defined in such a manner so as to ensure that the activity of job work must amount to manufacture. Thus the definition of job work itself reflects the change in basic scheme of taxation relating to job work in the proposed GST regime.
Q 2. Whether goods sent by a taxable person to a job worker will be treated as supply and liable to GST? Why?
Ans. It will be treated as a supply as supply includes all forms of supply such as sale, transfer, etc. However, the registered taxable person (the principal), under intimation and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed send any inputs and/or capital goods, without payment of tax, to a job worker for job work and from there subsequently to another job worker(s) and shall either bring back such inputs/capital goods after completion of job work or otherwise within 1 year/3 years of their being sent out or supply such inputs/capital goods after completion of job work or otherwise within 1 year / 3 years of their being sent out, from the place of business of a job worker on payment of tax within India or with or without payment of tax for export.

Q 5. Can a principal send inputs and capital goods directly to the premises of job worker without bringing it to his premises?
Ans. Yes, the principal is allowed to do so. The input tax credit of tax paid on inputs or capital goods can also be availed by the principal in such a scenario. The inputs or capital goods must be received back within one year or three years respectively failing which the original transaction would be treated as supply and the principal would be liable to pay tax accordingly.
Q 6. Can the principal supply the goods directly from the premises of the job worker without bringing it back to his own premises?
Ans. Yes. But the principal should have declared the premises of an unregistered job worker as his additional place of business. If the job worker is a registered person then goods can be supplied directly from the premises of the job worker. The Commissioner may also notify goods in which case goods sent for job work can be directly supplied from the premises of the job worker.
Q 7. Under what circumstances can the principal directly supply goods from the premises of job worker without declaring the premises of job worker as his additional place of business?

Q 8. What are the provisions concerning taking of ITC in respect of inputs/capital goods sent to a job worker?
Ans. Principal shall be entitled to take credit of taxes paid on inputs or capital goods sent to a job worker whether sent after receiving them at his place of business or even when such the inputs or capital goods are directly sent to a job worker without their being first brought to his place of business. However, the inputs or capital goods, after completion of job work, are required to be received back or supplied from job worker’s premises, as the case may be, within a period of one year or three years of their being sent out.
Q 9. What happens when the inputs or capital goods are not received back or supplied from the place of business of job worker within prescribed time period?
Ans. If the inputs or capital goods are not received back by the principal or are not supplied from the place of business of job worker within the prescribed time limit, it would be deemed that such inputs or capital goods had been supplied by the principal to the job worker on the day when the said inputs or capital goods were sent out by the principal (or on the date of receipt by the job worker where the inputs or capital goods were sent directly to the place of business of job worker). Thus the principal would be liable to pay tax accordingly.

Dear Sir,
Am doing Zinc Electroplating activity in bangalore earlier my nature of business was under works contract as i was doing only job work.
Now since their is no mention about plating process in entire GST schedule am very much confused about the corresponding HSN or SAC code for plating.
I have interacted with local VSO office too but unfortunately they too dont have enough information about plating process.
SO kindly update me about the proper HSN or SAC code for Electro-plating process.
i dont do any manufacturing activity i only provide elecoplating service on the components supplied by customer and i will return it back to the customer once process is done. (job work).
Electro Plating is pure service under GST. Even if you use any of your own material in the course of electro plating of materials supplied by third parties (principal manufacturers), it is treated as service, and 18% GST shall be paid by you, if you are registered under GST. You are also entitled to take Input Tax Credit of all eligible GST paid by you on the goods/services received in the course of your business. In case you are not registered under GST (Having Annual threshold TO of less than Rs.20 Lac / Rs.10 lacs for NE & Special Category State), you cannot collect GST & pay to the government; You are also not entitled to ITC on GST paid on inward supply of goods or services or both.

Dear Sir, you have explained extremely well. but I foresee here a problem for jobworkers like me.
I am doing jobwork for a bearing company where they supply their material and we do machining and give them back. Currently we only raise a jobwork invoice and get payment without any payment of taxes.
however we have to purchase lot of items used in manufacturing like capital goods, grinding wheels, hardware, cutting tools and pay VAT, or excise or CST and in future will continue to pay GST. Currently we loose the input credit on all these taxes.
if in future we continue to invoice to jobwork provider without GST, how we will get the input credit on GST paid for our manufacturing activities as a job worker conductor,
kindly help to advise us in this matter whether our undeersstanig is correct or not,
best regards
Pankaj Gupta
