17 July 2025 Hi All

Suppose my client is providing exempt services (doctor) registered under GST and liable to RCM as he is paying rent for commercial property. Will he get refund of GST for RCM paid on rental charges?

Thanks in Advance.

18 July 2025 No, a doctor providing exempt services, will not get a refund of GST for RCM paid on commercial rental charges. Refunds of ITC are generally allowed in specific scenarios, such as zero-rated supplies (exports) or inverted duty structure (where the GST rate on inputs is higher than on output supplies). Because the primary business activity (doctor's services) is exempt, they cannot avail the benefit of ITC on this RCM paid amount, and therefore, cannot claim a refund for it. This RCM amount essentially becomes a cost for them.
