Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether composition dealers need to pay Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) tax on purchases from unregistered dealers. Currently, RCM under Section 9(4) is largely scrapped and generally not applicable to composition dealers, except in specific notified cases like real estate transactions involving developers. For most composition dealers, purchases from unregistered dealers do not attract RCM unless the government introduces new notifications.

Not applicable this transaction
The Composite dealer shall pay tax under reverse charge vide section 9(3)or (4)on the inward supply of goods or services or both received.
As per Rule 5 clause (d) of the CGST Rules 2017, A Composition Scheme Dealer is required to pay Tax under sub section (3) and sub section (4) of Section (9) of the CGST Act 2017 on Inward Supplies i.e. RCM on Notified Cases [ 9(3) ] and On Purchase from Unregistered Dealer [ 9(4) ].

But Section 9(4) of the CGST Act 2017 was amended vide CGST Amendment Act 2018 and was changed to only Notified Goods purchased by Notified Dealers. Till now, transaction related to the REAL ESTATE SECTOR is notified for the purpose of Section 9(4).

For example if Cement ( Notified Goods ) is purchased by the Developer ( Notified Person ) from an Unregistered Dealer, then the Promoter is required to pay tax under RCM @ 28%.

Usually Developers do not opt for Composition Scheme. So as of now, RCM on Purchase from URD is not applicable on Composition Scheme.

Once the Government notifies any other goods or services for the purpose of 9(4), then you have to pay tax under RCM.

No RCM under 9(4) , is Scrapped.

As per Notification 38/2017 CT (R) amending the principal Notification 8/2017 CT stating that The exemption contained in the notification No. 8/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated
the 28th June, 2017 as amended by this notification shall apply to all REGISTERED persons Till the 31st day of March, 2018. & further many more notifications being issued which extends the same.

In above , the Composition Dealer also Cover Under Registered Person .

So Composition dealer is not required to pay tax on inward supply from URD.


Note : As of Today the RCM on Inward supply from URD Applicable only on Developers/Promotors. (Noti. 7/2019 CT rate)
No.......there is no RCM on inward supply from URD except if Receptient is Promotor/developer that to be subject to conditions prescribed in Notification 7/2019 CT (r).

So for your RCM is not applicable
Very useful
