GST on Directors Sitting Fees

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for directors' sitting fees paid by a private limited company. It confirms that IGST is payable under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) when a director attends a meeting virtually from a different state. The company can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the GST paid under RCM, provided the expense is for business purposes, and this ITC can be utilised in the same month the tax liability is discharged.
