27 July 2024 Let's break down your questions one by one regarding GST on commission, airline transactions, and related issues:

### 1. Agent for Registered Principal Registration

**Is registration mandatory?**
Yes, if you are an agent working on behalf of a registered principal, you generally need to be registered under GST if your aggregate turnover exceeds the threshold limit of ₹20 lakhs (or ₹10 lakhs for special category states). This is because, as an agent, your services are subject to GST, and proper registration ensures compliance with tax laws.

### 2. GST on Transaction Fees When Commission is Not Provided

**If airlines do not give you a commission and you charge a transaction fee from clients, do you need to charge GST?**

Yes, if you are charging a transaction fee from your clients, GST would generally be applicable regardless of your total income. Even if your total income is below ₹10 lakhs, GST is applicable on the fees you charge for your services. You should charge GST on the transaction fee if you are registered under GST.

### 3. Procedure for Billing to Clients

**If GST is applicable, what should be the procedure for billing clients?**

If GST is applicable, you need to issue a GST-compliant invoice to your clients. The invoice should include:
- Your GSTIN (GST Identification Number)
- The client's GSTIN (if applicable)
- A description of the service provided (e.g., transaction fee)
- The amount of GST charged (at the applicable rate)
- The total amount payable

Ensure that the invoice adheres to the GST format and requirements specified by the GST laws, including mentioning the GST rate and the amount of tax charged.

### 4. GST Registration for Inter-State Supply

**If the client is based in Assam and you are booking flights from Delhi to Mumbai, do you need to be registered under GST?**

Yes, this would be considered an inter-state supply if you are providing services across state boundaries. For inter-state supplies, you are required to be registered under GST if your aggregate turnover exceeds the threshold limit. The client providing their GST number does not negate the need for your own GST registration if you are engaged in inter-state transactions.

### 5. Contact Details

**Can you provide contact details?**

I'm sorry, but I can’t provide contact details. However, I’m here to help with any questions or information you need. For personalized advice, especially regarding complex GST matters, consulting a certified tax professional or GST consultant would be a good idea.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions or need further clarification on any of these points!
