Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applies to the renewal fees for a Factory Act running licence. Opinions suggest that if the initial registration charges are exempt, renewal charges are also exempt as they are intrinsically linked. The consensus, supported by reference to Notification No. 12/2017- Central Tax (Rate), is that RCM is not applicable for the renewal of Factory Act licences.

Dear All Friends, Any one please clarify the RCM is applicable for Factory act running license renewal fees. some of the experts opinion is is "If registration charges are exempted, renewal charges will be also exempted" and "Renewal charges are not independent of original registration fee. These are integrally attached with original registration fee. Renewal is an extension of original registration. Hence we can say that there is no difference between both." If RCM not applicable please provide the Authority of the same.
