Clarify Invoice Structure:
Ensure your client’s invoices do not show GST under RCM as a recoverable amount. It should only mention:
“GST payable under RCM by recipient” — so there’s no confusion that your client is charging GST.
• Communicate to Recipient:
Explain that the RCM tax paid is a government liability, not a payment to your client. Hence, refund cannot be given by your client.
• Option for Forward Charge:
If the recipient wants to utilize ITC, he should opt for forward charge (by filing declaration under GST). Then he can charge GST and claim ITC.
But this requires a change in his compliance approach, not your client’s.
