Hello All, I am providing accounting/bookkeeping services to foreign clients and receiving fees in foreign currency which gets converted to INR and gets trfd to my bank account. I have following questions;

Q1: Do I need to register with GST. (My overall national and international receipts are not crossing the threshold of 20lacs)

Q2: What if the client shows me as his employee will that help me avoid registration for GST

Q3: Any other options for not registering for GST? Your insights are valuable, please guide on the said issue.

Thanks.

Ans 1.

i) You do not need to register under GST if your total receipts are upto 20 lacs.

ii) You do not need to register under GST even if your total receipts are exceeding 20 lacs but you are providing services exclusively to your foreign clients and receiving money in convertible foreign exchange.

Ans 2. No need of manipulation.

Ans 3. At present you are not required to register under GST.

Thanks!

Can you provide some exact quoting from GST council or so for me to keep it as evidence for not mandatory registration?

Regards.

Chanda ji,

As per 23rd GST Council Meet on 10th November 2017

Service providers providing services on e-commerce platforms are exempted from registration if their annual turnover is below 20 lakhs (10 lakhs for Special states. 20 lakhs for J&K).
