Quick Summary
If you provide photography services in India but receive payment from abroad, GST is applicable. Specifically, IGST will be charged as it's considered an interstate supply. The liability to pay GST depends on whether it's a B2B or B2C transaction; the recipient pays under reverse charge for B2B, while the provider is liable for B2C. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for precise guidance.

Yes,

GST (Goods and Services Tax) will be applicable in this scenario.

Since the photography service is provided in India, it is considered a taxable supply. 

The fact that the payment is received from outside India and the billing is in the name of a person outside India does not exempt it from GST.

 In this case, IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) will be applicable. IGST is levied on interstate supplies, which includes imports and exports.

Since the service is provided in India and the payment is received from outside India, it is considered an import of service, and IGST will be applicable. 

The GST rate will depend on the nature of the photography service provided. 

If it is a B2B (business-to-business) supply, the recipient will be liable to pay GST under the reverse charge mechanism. 

If it is a B2C (business-to-consumer) supply, the provider will be liable to pay GST. 

Please consult a tax expert or chartered accountant to ensure accurate determination of GST liability and compliance with the latest tax laws and regulations.

 Here is a summary:

- GST applicable: Yes -

Type of GST: IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) -

GST rate: Depends on the nature of the photography service provided -

Liable to pay GST: 

Provider (in case of B2C supply) or recipient (in case of B2B supply under reverse charge mechanism)

Thank you sir
