A question about GST applicability on services provided by a foreign service provider!
GST Applicability The transaction is subject to GST in India, as:
1. _Location of recipient_: The recipient (you) is located in India.
2. _Location of supplier_: Although the service provider is outside India, the supplier (the Indian entity receiving the service) is located in India.
GST Liability The GST liability will be on a Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) basis:
1. _RCM applicability_: As the service provider is outside India, the recipient (you) will be liable to pay GST under RCM.
2. _GST rate_: The applicable GST rate will be determined based on the service provided.
Additional Requirements .
1. _GST registration_: Ensure you have a valid GST registration to comply with RCM requirements.
2. _GST returns_: File GST returns (GSTR-3B and GSTR-1) to report the RCM liability and claim input tax credit (ITC), if eligible.
