The company started its commercial operation in F.Y. 2019-2020 and started providing taxable and exempt supply and the turnover exceeds Rs.20 Lakhs.

02 May 2020 Tax payable as per value of amount paid to advocate.




02 May 2020 GST on RCM will be paid in full. ITC for the same shall be claimed proportionately (if common ITC)

02 May 2020 Rcm paid related ITC also can be taken fully. No need to proportionately...

02 May 2020 He will have to reverse the portion if it is common credits as he is providing both exempt and taxable supplies. Will have to do as per section 17 read with rule 42

02 May 2020 The query is rcm related. Not for normal ITC. If normal ITC then it will considering with taxable Supplies and Exempt supplies. For rcm payable on full value if the supplies and ITC also will be taken full value of rcm paid... Better with rcm activities with the said rule with section.




02 May 2020 The definition of ITC includes ITC from RCM. Ans the section and rules consider ITC as a whole

02 May 2020 Rcm payable on full value of supply and ITC can be claim full value of tax which is paid under "RCM" basis.

02 May 2020 ITC cannot be claimed in full. Will have to reverse the portion for exempt outward supplies under Rule 42. If you have reasons for your opinion please quote the law.




03 May 2020 Gst is payable under rcm on full value as has been paid to advocate. Itc also allow to claim in full but it reversal as per rule 42 of chat rules has to be done because company is in the business of taxable and exempted supplies and section 17 (2) treatment has to be Applied and manner of attributation as per rule 42 of chat rules.

03 May 2020 Typing error, chat should read as cgst

08 May 2020 I agree with CA Altamush Zafar.

RCM ITC will have to reversed based on Taxable and Non-Taxable basis.

10 May 2020 What if full credit is taken? Will I face any problem from GST department?

10 May 2020 Will the answer be same if renumeration is paid to directors as professional fees?
Whether whole ITC available to company providing taxable and exempt services?
or will it be available on proportionate basis?

23 May 2020 As your company was not registered in FY 2018-19 RCM on advocate fees does not arise as recipeint should be a registered entity. as for FY 2019-20 you have to pay reverse charge on advocate fees. ITC is available for full RCM there is no requirement of proportionately reducing in terms of taxable and exempt supplies. Advocate services are used for court cases and not for in relation to any supply of goods. proportionate ITC rule will apply in case of normal ITC and that too only when ITC pertains to goods and services used as input. In your case advocate services are nothing to do with goods supplied by your company so RCM credit is available in full.

25 May 2020 What about sec 17(2) and rule 42 ?
