RCM (Reverse Charge Mechanism) is a tax mechanism under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) law in India. Trade License Renewal Fee and RCM Trade license renewal fees are typically paid by businesses to local authorities, such as municipalities or corporations. *RCM Applicability* As per the GST Council's decisions and the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017: 1. *Notification No. 13/2017-Central Tax (Rate)*: Exempts services provided by the Central Government, State Government, Union territory, or local authorities from GST, except for certain specified services. 2. *Notification No. 22/2017-Central Tax (Rate)*: Specifies that services provided by local authorities, such as trade license renewal fees, are exempt from GST. Conclusion Based on the above notifications and GST laws, RCM is *not applicable* on trade license renewal fees, as these services are exempt from GST. However, it's essential to note that: - *Specific Notifications*: There might be specific notifications or amendments to the GST laws that could affect the applicability of RCM on trade license renewal fees. - *Consult a Tax Professional*: To ensure accuracy and compliance, it's recommended to consult a tax professional or GST expert who can provide guidance based on the latest laws and regulations.
