17 August 2017 Dear Experts, should we pay GST on staff welfare like purchase of sugar, tea leaf, cup, foods etc. for employees? Moreover, we have purchased some stationery from interstate URD and he make invoice. Should we pay GST under RCM as there is no exemption due to Interstate. Please guide me sir. Regards, Rakesh Sharma

17 August 2017 See for staff welfare items we have to check rate of items if they are exempted or taxable at 0% then there is no liability to pay tax but few items like sugar is taxable at 5% so we have to pay tax and if same is purchased from unregistered dealer and limit of Rs. 5000 (aggregate in a day) is also to be kept in mind if suppose total supplies from unregistered registered dealer is less than Rs. 5000 then there is no tax liability.

and

since you have said that you were purchased some stationery (interstate) from unregistered dealer so whether you have purchased it after going on his shop ???
