As of pre-GST (i.e., under Service Tax regime before 1st July 2017) — which is the context for a question dated 04 June 2013 — here's how Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applied:
✅ Applicability of RCM under Service Tax (Pre-GST Era):
Even individuals or small businesses (including those with turnover below ₹10 lakh exemption threshold under Service Tax) were liable to pay Service Tax under RCM if they received services that attracted RCM.
🔴 Threshold exemption (₹10 lakh) was not available for liability under reverse charge.
🧾 Example Services under RCM (Pre-GST):
Goods Transport Agency (GTA)
Legal services from an advocate
Services from a director to a company
Sponsorship services
Security services in some cases
📌 Conclusion:
Even if the individual's retail business turnover is ₹20 lakh, and he is not registered for Service Tax, he would still be liable to pay Service Tax under RCM if he received taxable services covered under RCM.
✅ Yes, RCM applies regardless of whether the individual has crossed the service tax registration threshold.
