Reverse Charges (RCM) GST Implication for Sole Proprietorship

06 July 2023

I am a Taxpayer and run a Sole Proprietorship. While I try to do as many online transactions as possible under B2B by giving my GST number, I understand several transactions happen there the supplier does not charge GST. Typical examples in my case are software that I buy from online portals from outside India (for personal use and not for business), some local restaurants where I pay by card, but they do not charge GST, etc. The Question is should I pay reverse RCM GST for every single transaction? I do this for major transactions where I use the purchase for business.

No, RCM applicable Only for the notified business.

So, want more clarity from your query

Yes sir. For example, I have a Sole Proprietorship, but the GST number is for Personal PAN as well, right? So, in that case, am I liable to pay Reverse GST if I take any service where the supplier is outside India and does not pay GST? For example, I paid $20 to a music composer in Australia through PayPal for composing a Happy Birthday tune for my daughter. How to separate personal from business related in the case of a Sole Proprietorship for "registered" GST individuals?

Anyone knows how to deal with personal expenses if a foreign website does not charge the GST and it is not my for my business? Is Reverse GST applicable to every transaction even if it is not related to my Sole Proprietorship business? My GST number is same for personal and business (Sole Proprietorship). What is the solution?
