Gst required for professionals qualifying section 44ada?

Hello,

 

An India-based individual is working as a professional and serves only foreign-based companies to receive revenue in USD. He qualifies for filing returns under section 44ADA by declaring 50% of gross receipts as profit as a technical consultant. 

1) Is GST registration required by such person? If yes, what should be the rate of GST (like 12% or 18%) and how should it be paid (like 12% of revenue or 12% of net profit?)

2) Isn't the GST not required because he is already declaring 50% of receipts as profit and paying income tax on it

Please let me know.


Thanks a lot

The place of supply (your consultancy) is not clear for application of GST.

 

I am in the same dilemma as the above original question poster, I am a software engineer working as individual professional, providing software development/support services as digital media not hard copies. My revenue exceeds 20 lacs per annum.

1) If the GST is required, then 12% or 18%? Then XX% of revenue or XX% of net profit?

2) Isn't the GST not required because he is already declaring 50% of receipts as profit and paying income tax on it.

3) If GST is required, if I apply for GST now and get the GST number in next few days, Can I raise GST invoice for already received amounts? If yes, then do I need to submit the GST percentage amount for the already received payments as well?

Help or guidance would be very helpful, I am very confused right now.

Thanks in advance.
