Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for YouTube income, specifically concerning the export of services. It explains the 'time of supply' rules as per the CGST Act, which determine when GST is calculated, based on invoice dates, payment receipts, or when services are recorded. The query also addresses the applicable exchange rate for calculating GST on export services, mentioning RBI rates, customs rates, and bank rates as possibilities, and directs users to resources for further information.

Dear Ajnas
Time of supply of services are defined in Section 13 of CGST Act .

As per Section 13(2) (a) , Time of Supply is :
Date of issue of invoice by supplier or date of receipt of payment , whichever is earlier.

As per Section 13(2)(b) , Time of Supply is :
Date of provision of services or Date of receipt of payment, whichever is earlier.

As per Section 13(2)(c) :
where the provision of (a) & (b) do not apply ;
Date on which the recipient show the receipt of services in book of account.

Note : If it is continuous supply of services , then refer Section 31(5) of CGST Act .

Exchange Rate to be considered :

RBI rates are considered. Actually the rule 34 has been Substituted by Notification 17/2017 CT (r) till then read as follows " The rate of Exchange for the determination of the value of taxable goods or services or both shall be the Applicable reference rate for that currency as determined by RBI on the date of time of supply in respect of such supply in term of Section 12 or as the case may be , section 13 of the Act"

But As there is no hard & fast rule in opting exchange rate of RBI only , So you can also take Custom rate of Exchange for Export of Services, The difference can adjusted Under Head "FLUCTUATION IN EXCHANGE" Note : Many small exporter of Services also take the Bank Exchange Rate.
