Applicability of GST

Respected Sir,


My client has GST registration in  the Textile Sector. Now he changed his sector, He is now in the Service Industry.


His service details are as follows:


He has introduced his YOUTUBE Channel.

Now then


1. He collects Lyrics from Lyricist as Copyright of Lyrics.  (Un-Registered person in GST)


2.  He is taking the services of Musicians as copyright of Music. (Un-Registered person in GST)


3. He is taking the services of Singers as within a Contract for a stipulated duration. (Un-Registered person in GST)


4.  He is taking the services of Directors and other shooting team as within contract for a stipulated duration (Un-Registered person in GST)


After completion of a Song under the name and style of his banner he launch his song on his YOUTUBE Channel. 


Now my question is;

 1. Is he liable to pay gst ?

 2. Is GST attracted to his service ?

 3. What is the SAC Code under his service covered ?


Kindly guide me through this difficult situation.


Thanks & Regards

Quick Summary
A business registered for GST in the textile sector has transitioned to the service industry, launching a YouTube channel. They are seeking guidance on GST applicability for services like acquiring copyrights for lyrics and music, hiring singers, and engaging directors and a shooting team, all from unregistered persons. The core questions revolve around liability to pay GST, whether GST is attracted to these services, and the appropriate SAC code.

In my opinion, he is not liable to register under GST

He is not collected GST from anyone, how GST liability arise only taking services from unregistered persons
It is mandatory for you Tuber if their total aggregate turnover exceeds upper limit of rs 20 lakhs and 10 lakhs in special state which is the prescribed limit for registrations for service providers under the act
