REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under GST. It confirms that sales/commission agents and technical consultants providing services within or between states generally require individual GST registration and do not fall under RCM. For transporters, those issuing consignment notes are exempt from charging GST as RCM applies, while others may need GST registration and an enrollment number for record-keeping purposes, even if not charging GST.

08 July 2020 RCM not applicable on sales commission and technical consultancy. They have to obtain individual GST registration. Aa
GTA who issue consignment note not required to be registered and charge GST as RCM is applicable.

08 July 2020 DEAR SIR : WITH DUE RESPECT TO YOU , I ALSO READ SOMEWHERE

"According to the GST Act, all owner or operator of the warehouse, godown or any other place
used for storage of goods and every transporter shall maintain the records of the consigner,
consignee and other relevant details of the goods stored or transported. It applies irrespective
of whether the individual registered for GST or not. Hence the godown, warehouse or transport
should opt for GST registration by filing Form GST ENR-01.

On filing and verification of the GST registration through the application form for unregistered godown, warehouse or transporter, the portal shall generate a unique enrollment number
for the godown, warehouse or transporter.

08 July 2020 This unique enrollment number for the godown, warehouse or transporter is not a regular GSTIN number for which GST is paid and GSTR return filed.
