This discussion addresses whether a Chartered Accountant (CA) appointed as a retainer or consultant for reconciliation work can receive over 20 Lakhs annually without GST compliance. The initial suggestion was to have TDS deducted under Section 192 (salary), which bypasses GST. However, since the CA is appointed as a retainer and TDS is being deducted under Section 194JB, this option isn't directly applicable. The consensus is that there's no straightforward way around GST compliance unless the employer changes the TDS section.
a CA is in job & has been appointed as Retainer / Consultant, for reconciliation related work, on contract for one year. My query is:- 1. can he received yearly amount more than Rs 20 Lakh without GST compliances? 2. If yes, then how please. 3. any other practical suggestion to received yearly amount more than Rs 20 Lakh without GST compliances? Thanking you,
