Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applicable to rent payments under GST. It outlines that businesses with over ₹1 crore turnover and individuals/HUFs paying over ₹2.4 lakh annually are liable to pay RCM. The RCM tax must be reported in GSTR-3B and GSTR-1, and can be claimed as input tax credit (ITC) in the same or subsequent month's GSTR-3B return, effective from the month the rent obligation arises.

Any subsequent month's return (GSTR-3B) Effective from the return of the month in which the rent was paid.
