Gst applicable for commission received from foreign principa

Dear Sir,

I run a propreitorhip firm in Thane,Maharashtra through which I provide product promotion and marketing services throughout India to my principal,who is located overseas and does not have any office / establishment in India.

Incase of a sale, the Indian customer places an order directly to my foreign principal who ships the goods directly to the Indian customer.I then raise an invoice to my foreign principal in Euros,based on the percentage of the order amount as per our agreement and then my foreign principal pays me the commission in Euros.

My firm's name is not mentioned in Indian customer's order nor on the Invoice raised by my foreign principal.My firm is also not invloved in clearing these goods through the Indian customs.

As of now I understand that I am required to pay service tax @ 10 % plus cess for above activity,if my commision income crossed Rs.9 lakhs in any financial year..

However after July 1, after GST is established :

1.) For above activity do I need to pay any GST ?  Is it that I need to pay GST only if my commission income crosses the        

     threshold limit of Rs 20 lakhs in a financial year ? 

2.) Should I register for GST only after my commission income crosses Rs.20 lakhs ?

3.) Should I use my invoice,which I raise to my foreign principal,for GST purpose ? 

4.) What is the clasification / categary under which I should register in GST ?

5.) What is the procedure for GST registration ?

6.) In the next year,if my commission income falls below Rs.20 lakhs what do I do ? 

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Best regards.

I want to know

1. If GST is applicable on commission income ; if the income is less than 19 lacs

2. What is rate of commission income if it is applicable ?

3. If GST is for both commission? Commission received from International companies and commission received from Local companies.

Dear Sir,

1. In the case of foreign commission you shall have to register your self under GST , 20 lac limit does not matter , becuase you are giving service out of territories.

2 . GST rate on foreign commission is 0% not nil.

3 . Invoice to be issued by you on you foreign client by mentioning GST no. and Rate of GST 0%

4 . You are to register yourself under Business Auxiliries head

5. For registration under GST it depends on the status of the firm. Accordingly we move.

6. Local commission will be taxed   @ 18% which is fully ITC and client can claim.

Thanking You,

Dear Mr.Viswanathan,

Thankyou for the info.

However it does not really inform the GST rate for foreign commission,classification,whether Rs.20 lakhs is applicable or not,etc.

If you happen to know the same please share the same.

Best regards.

Sir, I am also in the same kind of business and have the GST Registration. In case of foreign commission, my Auditor says I need to pay 18% GST on the amount received from my principal. Can you please help me by providing any documents mentioning 0% GST for Foreign commission?
