GST charge on DN

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether GST needs to be charged on a debit note issued for rent paid to a landlord on behalf of a client. If the arrangement is a simple reimbursement and not a formal sub-renting agreement, GST is generally not applicable. However, if it constitutes actual rent or sub-letting, then GST should be charged.
