08 September 2017 Dear Expert,

Requesting your expert input on below query.

Under RCM a recipient have to pay tax on behalf of supplier subject to the deduction of Rs.5000 per day. So below are my concerns.
1. 5000 per day means 5000 *30= 1,50,000 Monthly exemption? Recipient is eligible for Rs. 1.5 lac exemption on monthly basis?

2. If RCM is below Rs. 5000 monthly, then recipient is not liable to pay such amount as per the exemption given by the Govt.

Thanking you.

08 September 2017 It's not a monthly execmption as you think, the govt for reducingthe difficulty exempted inward supply from all unregistered dealer (URD) upto Rs. 5,000/- per day. So if in any day your purchases from URD exceeds Rs.5000/- you have to pay RCM on the full amount of URD Purchase of that day, you have to verify the URD Purchases each day wise.

08 September 2017 In my case, Our office is rented premise and our landlord is unregistered under GST. We are paying Rs 25000 as rental. Now, on behalf of landlord we need to pay GST @ 18% which comes to 4500 monthly payable GST. if I calculate the amount this comes below 5000 per day criterion. In this case are we exempted to pay GST under RCM?
