This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you are registered under the GST composition scheme and paying rent to an unregistered person, you are liable to pay GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at an 18% rate. This RCM rule applies to residential property rent regardless of the landlord's registration status since July 18, 2022. For commercial property, RCM is applicable only if the landlord is unregistered; if the landlord is registered, GST is charged on a Forward Charge basis.

15 October 2024 RCM on residential house property was introduced w.e.f. 18.7.22. For which RCM is payable by registered person irrespective of landlord is registered on it.
Likewise RCM on commercial property was introduced w.e.f. 10.10.24 for which RCM is payable by a registered person only if the landlord is unregistered. If landlord is registered then no RCM is applicable, GST will be charged on FCM basis.
