GST Exemption for Local Authorities

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST exemptions for Local Authorities, particularly concerning activities like advertisement, ground rent, and license fees. It explains that services provided by local authorities under articles 243w and 243m of the constitution are generally exempt, such as trade licenses. The applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is also discussed, noting it's not applicable for renting immovable property or transport but may apply to advertisements and certain license fees depending on their classification.

Thanks sir
i (as client) have filed gst return and annual returns for fy 17-18 showing all transactions as B2C and i did not show any b2b transactions but one of my debtor was registered so that was B2B transaction and debtor has availed itc in fy 17-18 so now my debtor has received notice from gst dept and requesting me to provide ca certificate showing that transactions with that debtor are b2b transactions and they are eligible for itc
so please suggest me how can i start or respond
1.Amend invoices in current month GSTR-1 if possible ,

2.Use supplimentary invoice to rectify the invoice with current date for passing ITC .

3. Go as per notice and get CA Certificate and submit to dept
I am trying to do 3rd option
i am CA so certificate is not big deal
but this client came to me after receiving notice so how can we cross verify (any way out) that invoices provided by client are genuine
First ask the GST registration certificate of client.
Check the effective date of registration.

If they have registered after 2017-18 then they are trying to do some thing .

And also check their date filing GST returns , you will get an idea.

And also use search tax payer using their GSIN from GST portal , you can get their GST Filing summary without login

And also review the GST Computation Sheet and amount of GST under B 2 C .

Name of client 

 

And ask them why they have not informed when they have not received ITC in the subsequent month or quarter ?

Exactly that was my point
shall i go for verification of all invoices related to that specific debtor and reconcile with total gst paid
Yes.You can do that .

And also check if their GST number was there in the invoice raised

You may verify their invoices issued and check once with GST statement prepared for filing purposes..

And also check whether customer invoice number was quoted in the invoices .

This can give you some information to proceed further 

Thanks sir 😀😀
GSTIN in invoices , might be typing mistake in above phrase
Yes sir understood
