    Chart of Services Under Reverse Charge as approved by GST Council & Sl No 18.
    A housewife hires a taxi and she will have the liability of paying GST under Reverse Charge as “any person”. Council may clarify please.

  6. Rakesh Milwani says:

    Where is the justification of Reverse Charge Mechanism except in the case of an importer? Others, including Government, can collect forward service charge and pay the same. Why does the Honourable Finance Minister want to shift the burden onto others. Imagine a small business man with turnover of less than Rs. 20 lakhs, who is not otherwise liable for registration, has to obtain Registration under GST simply because he is liable to pay certain transport charges to GTA. This would simply take away the benefit of threshold limit. Where is the ease of doing business?

  7. Rakesh Milwani says:

    Putting fees paid to an individual advocate or a firm of advocates under reverse charge mechanism is height of stupidity. If other professionals like Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, Company Secretaries, Architects, Artists are liable on forward charge, why advocate fees on reverse charge? Is it because Mr. Jaitley is an advocate and prior to him, the person who introduced reverse service charge on advocates, Mr. Chidambaram, was also an advocate? Mr. Jaitley, please justify reverse charge on advocates, who are supposed to be learned. Or is it because they are learned that they know how to put their burden on others.
