RCM on Services u/s 13(3)(a)

We have taken services from outside India in respect of goods. The provisions of sec. 13(3)(a) IGST, 2017 is applicable and accordingly our POS is also outside India.

My question is whether the said service is liable to tax under RCM or not? because this is not import of service as POS is outside India.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for services received from outside India when the Place of Supply (POS) is also outside India, as per Section 13(3)(a) of the IGST Act. The consensus is that if both the supplier and the service provision are outside India, the POS is deemed outside India. Consequently, this does not constitute an import of service, and therefore, no GST liability under RCM arises.

If POS is outside India then no tax under GST

RCM is applicable on import of service . Since POS is o/s India . It not the import of service hence RCM liablity does not arise in these case.

No RCM is not applicable
Can explain what kind of service being procured ???

Yes if the services is provided out side India & the location of supplier is also out side India , then the POS in term of Section 13(3) of IGST Act is where the services being provided.
Hence GST Attracts

 

** Hence No GST Attracts (No RCM) 

Not applicable
RCM liablity does not arise in these case
