Where the ABC Inc situated.?? (As in your example it is Singapore based company, if it is situated in india)
Reply : as iam assuming that ABC Inc is situated in Singapore.
First of all we need to check the defination of export of services u/s 2(6) :
Supplier located in India
Recipient located outside India
POS is outside India.
Payment reced in convertible foreign exchange.
So as per your Example , Supplier Mr A is located in India, Recipient ABC Inc located outside India, Place supply is outside India & Money reced in foreign exchange. Hence it satisfy the condition export .
MR. A will raise export invoice to ABC Inc. & There will Import of services from Mr. B To Mr.A.
So summarised:
Mr. A bill to ABC in lc (Export of Services )
MR B will bill to Mr. A (Import of services)
Thanks for your reply sir,
yes, here ABC Inc is situated in Singapore.
so as per the above solutions Mr.A is liable to pay GST on RCM Basis on invoices received from Mr.B.
but Mr.B is located in USA and he is providing the services to ABC Inc in Singapore, still Mr.A is liable to pay??
sir, i have also thought the same but the activity of Mr.A looks like intermidiary and if i consider A as an intermediary then place of supply will b location of A and GST liability will come even thought consideration in USD.
sir, can you please explain more between intermidiary and export of service.
