Billing Professional Services that includes Govt. Fees

This discussion addresses how a GST-registered consultancy firm should bill clients for company registration services when freelancers provide combined invoices for government fees and their professional charges. The core question is whether to charge GST on the entire amount or treat government fees separately under the 'pure agent' concept, as per GSTN regulations. The advice suggests that if transactions are conducted in the client's name, GST may not apply to the government fees portion, allowing for GST to be charged only on the firm's own service fee.
