Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of GST Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on room rent paid to employees, particularly concerning Notification 5/2022. If a company pays rent directly to a landlord based on a rent agreement in the company's name for an employee's residential dwelling, then GST RCM is applicable. The key factor is whether the rent agreement is executed between the company and the property owner.

If tenant is registered under GST, then he has to pay GST under RCM for staying in residential  dwelling .

Here tenant is our our employee but rent paid by company & company is registered under gst
Yes. to pay rcm
First step is rent paid by employee to his landlord
Then company reimbursement rent to employee.
The said expenses is debited as Rent expenses in the company's books of account.
In above case can company is liable to pay gst on RCM basis. Company is registered under gst.

Check the rent agreement. In whose name the rent agreement is executed. Is it between company & property owner or is it between employee (in his personal capacity) and property owner.

if company has executed rent agreement then RCM applicable.
