RCM rent for composition dealers

The recent GST Council meeting has indeed addressed the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on rent for composition dealers.

 As per the recommendations of the 55th GST Council meeting, taxpayers registered under the composition levy scheme have been excluded from the entry at Sr. No. 5AB introduced vide Notification No. 09/2024-CTR dated 08.10.2024.¹

This means that composition dealers are now exempt from paying GST under RCM on renting of commercial or immovable property (other than residential dwelling) from an unregistered person.

However, this exemption is effective from the date of issuance of the proposed notification, and the period from October 10, 2024, till the date of issuance of the notification will be regularized on an "as is where is" basis.

 In summary, composition dealers have been exempted from RCM on rent for non-residential property, providing relief to small taxpayers.

No rcm for commercial property to composition taxable person as per the recent GST council meeting.

Wait for the notification.
