we are registered GTA who issues RCM based tax invoices . till march 2024 we were not generating einvoices.

from april 2024 we have started einvoice for our invoices.

we have noticed difference in GST portal for March 2024 invoices and April 2024 invoices. for march 2024 invoice amounts are coming in 5% slab but for april 2024 (einvoice) amounts are showing in 0% slab.

while uploading the data to IRN portal, we are setting Reverse Charge "yes" and Item GST tax rate zero "0" in JSON file.

we are not sure which one is correct and we need your inputs.

1. this is March 2024  RCM invoice we uploaded on GST portal. values are coming in 5% slab. our invoice is RCM based.

do we have to mention GST rate 5% and Reverse Charges "yes" both in JSON for einvoice?

Quick Summary
A UK-registered GTA is experiencing discrepancies in their GST portal reporting after implementing e-invoicing in April 2024. Previously, their March 2024 RCM invoices appeared in the 5% GST slab. However, since April, e-invoices are showing in the 0% slab, despite setting Reverse Charge to 'yes' and the item GST tax rate to zero in the JSON file. The issue stems from incorrectly classifying taxable RCM services as exempt. The solution is to set the GST rate to 5% and Reverse Charge to 'Yes' in the e-invoice JSON payload, ensuring correct categorization in the 5% RCM slab without adding tax liability to the supplier's ledger.

  • The Error: You are currently entering a 0 tax rate, which causes the portal to categorize a taxable 5% RCM service as an exempt 0% transaction.

  • The Fix: Correct your JSON payload to specify Reverse Charge as "Yes" and the GST Rate as 5%. The e-invoicing utility will auto-populate it into the correct 5% RCM slab without adding any tax liability to your regular outward ledger.
