GST RCM ON PROVISION BASE

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the timing for booking Goods and Services Tax (GST) Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) liabilities. The consensus is that RCM liability should be recognised based on the supplier's invoice date, not on the date of a provisional expense entry. While you might provision for an expense in March, the RCM GST is payable based on the invoice date (April in this case) and reported in the April GSTR-3B.

15 August 2025 In GST context, this phrase likely means anticipating GST liability under the Reverse Charge Mechanism—i.e., accounting for, or provisioning, RCM even before a supplier’s invoice is received.
Here’s how to proceed:
Identify whether RCM applies (notified supplies or unregistered suppliers).
If yes, issue a self-invoice and recognize the liability provisionally in your books.
Pay RCM tax via cash ledger only—ITC cannot be used at payment stage, but once paid, it becomes eligible for credit.
Determine the time of supply using RCM-specific rules (goods: earliest of receipt/payment/30 days; services: payment or 60 days) to calculate due date.
Report RCM obligations properly in returns—use GSTR-1 table for inward supplies, and RCM liability/ITC statement on portal.
