This discussion clarifies GST applicability on labour charges paid to unregistered goldsmiths. While Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) was largely abolished for unregistered suppliers from October 2017, and a notification exempts registered persons from paying CGST under RCM on supplies from unregistered persons, there's a specific point about making charges for gold jewellery. These charges are subject to a 5% GST, payable by the jeweller or business entity, not the customer.
GST PAYABLE ON LABOUR CHARGES PAID TO UNREGISTERED GOLD SMITH. IF RS 5000/- IS EXEMPTED FROM REVERSE CHARGE OR ANY AMENDMENTS REGARDING THRESHOLD LIMIT OF REVERSE CHARGES APPLICABLE.
BUT HERE SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING RCM PAYABLE ON PURCHASE OR SERVICE RECEIVED BY UNREGISTERED DEALERS. IS THERE ANY NOTIFICATION ON THAT MA'M. LESS THAN RS 5000/- NOT ATTRACT RCM WHICH ARE THE GOODS AND SERVICES NOT ATTRACT RCM.
