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.
No Professional services are not covered under Reverse Charge under GST.
Dear Gopal,
Professional Fees are not covered under Reverse Charge.
Sorry Gopal,
As per Section 9(4), they need to give the GST under Reverse Charge.
If professional is unregistered then you need to pay GST under reverse charge mechanism and take the credit after payment.
Thank you all for your valuable replies
but at what %
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.
Sir Professional fees is Taxable under RCM in GSt
GST rate for tax consultancy and preparation services is 18%
SAC Code 998231 – Corporate tax consulting and preparation services
SAC Code 998232 – Individual tax preparation and planning services
18% GST rate is applicable for SAC Code 998399 – Other professional, technical and business services, technical and business services.
