This discussion explores the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications when a company registered in West Bengal rents out a residential property located in Odisha to another company for residential use. The core question is whether IGST (Reverse Charge Mechanism) or CGST-SGST (Reverse Charge Mechanism) applies, and who is liable for it. The advice suggests that if the property is used for residential purposes, GST might not be applicable if the revenue is below the threshold and there's no other business presence in Odisha. However, if it's a taxable supply, CGST+SGST of Odisha would apply, with Reverse Charge Mechanism only relevant if the supplier is unregistered.
Kindly share your views on the below described issue with notification/circular/case study:

What will be the applicability of GST in the above mentioned scenario? Will it be IGST (RCM) or CGST-SGST(RCM) in the hands of Owner as well as Tenant?

The property is let out as residential property and used for residential purpose only. There is no other business in Odisha. Total revenue earned form Odisha is below Rs.20 lacs and no tax liability is arising in Odisha.

But my question is still unanswered. What will be the applicability of GST in the above mentioned scenario? What tax will be recorded in Tax Invoice? Will it be IGST (RCM) or CGST-SGST(RCM) in the hands of Owner as well as Tenant?

Whenever taxable supply, CGST+SGST of Odisha state will be applicable. RCM will apply only when supplier is URD, otherwise supplier has to charge under FCM.
