GST FOR EXPORT SERVICES

HI,

 

Is it mandatory to collect gst for a freelancer from client located in abroad where services are rendered from INDIA ? Money is converted and deposited in indian currency.  Please let me know if we have any alternative thru which i can get rid off collecting gst.

 

thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Indian freelancers must collect GST on services provided to clients located overseas. Generally, if the service's place of supply is outside India, GST is not applicable. However, proof of payment received through specific channels like a vostro account is crucial. If such proof is lacking, GST collection may be required. The thread also touches upon GST registration requirements and disclosure in income tax returns.

If place of supply is outside India then no need to collect or charge gst

Thanks. Then no need to file gst right as I am not adding gst in client invoice ?

Also, at the time of filling IT return no need to show gst number right if income from profession exceeds 20 lacs a year ?

 

Thanks

 

If the money is coming through a vostro account, then it would be treated as export and hence no GST is required to be paid. LUT need to be furnished in such case.

If there is no proof that amount is received through a vostro account (banker will confirm), then GST would be required to be collected and paid to the government.

If you are registered then you need to file the returns and also disclose in IT returns.

If You providing any Services which relates to even Interstate(includes Export of Services also) Supply then no GST registration shuld be required vide Notification No.10/2017
