### GST on Sponsorship and Brand Promotion
**1. **GST Rates and SAC Codes:**

**2. **Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM):**

However, in the normal course of business, both sponsorship and brand promotion services are not subject to RCM.
### **3. **Invoicing and Reporting:**
**A. **For Service Providers:**

- **Claiming ITC:** You can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the GST paid, provided the services are used for business purposes.
- **Reverse Charge:** Generally, you will not need to apply RCM unless specifically stated under the law or in case of services from non-resident entities.
### **4. **Summary:**
