I am an independent consultant from Pune providing IT consultancy services to a client in Europe. I have registered a sole proprietorship registered and I send an invoice monthly and get payment after forex conversion. My annual income exceeded 20 lakhs last year. I came to know that I am required to get a GST registration now. But I live in a rented apartment and my landlord has refused to provide NOC. I have heard that GST registration using virtual offices are often rejected and getting a commercial space just for GST is expensive (10-12 k per month). Am I required to apply for GST even though I am exporting my services outside India? If yes, is there any easy way to get GST registration? Please advise. Appreciate help from experts here.
