Rcm on professional fees

A company is paying professional fees(40000-tds @ 10%) = 36000 p.m*12 = 4,32,000 p.a. to few employees who are not registered under gst. Is the company liable to pay GST under Reverse charge? I think the company is liable to pay RCM and can claim ITC of the same. And GST is payable @ 18% on 40000 = 7,200. Am i correct? Please answer.. Thanks in advance.

Sorry Gopal,

As per Section 9(4), they need to give the GST under Reverse Charge.

there is nothing to do, is they are professionals or contractors or else, if they are not registered under GST, RCM will came into picture.

If professional is unregistered then you need to pay GST under reverse charge mechanism and take the credit after payment.

Thankyou so much even I was wondering about this question since a long time.

Whether to pay GST on RCM basis on professional fees or not. Now that I have came to know this that I need to pay GST on RCM basis. Since July we have not paid GST on Professional fees on RCM basis.

What can be done on this as out GSTR3B, GSTR1 has already been filed per month till October 2017.

Please help me on this.
