Dear Expert,

I am running a business named ABC India Pvt. Ltd. We engage in both import and export transactions, utilizing the services of both Indian (resident) and European (non-resident) commission agents/professional service providers.

Could you please explain the applicable GST and TDS (Income Tax) provisions—along with standard Accounting Entries and Tax Payment Due Dates based on the latest notifications and circulars—using a real-time numerical example for the following scenarios?

Scenario 1: Import Transactions
When importing goods from Europe and Russia:

Indian Commission Agent / Professional: What GST (RCM vs. Forward Charge, any other tax, ITC eligibility) and TDS under the Income Tax Act (e.g., Section 194H/194J, any other section) apply when paying commission/service fees to an Indian agent?

European Commission Agent / Professional: What are the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) GST implications (Import of Services, OIDAR/Intermediary rules) and TDS obligations under Section 195 (including DTAA benefits and Form 15CA/15CB requirements) when paying commission/service fees to a foreign agent located in Europe?

Scenario 2: Export Transactions
When exporting goods to international markets:

Indian Commission Agent: What are the GST (Taxability, Place of Supply rules, claiming ITC or refund) and TDS implications for commission paid to a resident agent assisting in exports?

European Commission Agent: What are the GST (Applicability of RCM on foreign intermediary services) and TDS (Taxability of foreign agent commission for services rendered outside India under Section 195 read with Circulars) implications when paying an overseas commission agent for export orders?

Query Regarding Capital Gain Exemption on Sale of Commercial Property and Investment in Construction on Spouse's Property
Facts :-
1. There is a commercial property held in the name of an Individual Assessee. The land / property was owned by the individual in his personal capacity. Construction on the said commercial property was carried out and funded by a Partnership Firm, in which the said individual is a Partner. During F.Y. 2025-26, the said commercial property along with construction has been sold for a consideration of Rs. 2.90 Crores. After the sale of the said commercial property, the assessee has constructed a residential house on another residential plot which is held in the name of his spouse. Almost the entire sale consideration has been contributed / invested by the assessee towards the said residential house construction.
Question for Opinion:
A. Whether the cost of construction incurred by the Partnership Firm on the commercial property owned by the individual assessee can be claimed as Cost of Improvement / Cost of Acquisition while computing Capital Gain
B. Whether the assessee can claim exemption from Capital Gains on sale of commercial property by investing the sale proceeds in construction of a residential house on a property owned by his spouse?
C. What will be the overall Capital Gain tax implications in this case and what is the best possible way to claim exemption / minimize tax liability under any on the provisions and case laws i.e. supreme court judgement , High Court judgement etc.
Kindly opine.
