    kindly inform whether an organisation can reimburse hotel bills of rs. 1200/- per day, but the hotel authorities have not charged any gst and there is no mention of hotel gst no in the bill and the bill is handwritten

  4. Rahul Kalaivasan says:

    Fee remitted to the Govt for a service is taxable under RCM ?
    is there any exemption for these kind of fee (Slab system, means upto 1000 exempted 1001 and above taxable etc.)?

  5. Ratnesh says:

    sir,
    We bought diwali exp.from URD for distribution to our clients/staffs. My question: – 1. If in invoice, GST is included – Whether can we take input of GST? 2. If in invoice, GST is not included – Whether we are under obligation to pay under RCM? If yes, can we take input?

  6. Sanjay Kumar says:

    On cold drinks Rate of tax is mentioned 40% entry no. 72

    Restaurants are having tax rate 18% while mentioned 28% – Entry no. 67

    RCM is applicable if service provider is unregistered and certain category which are mentioned in act.

  9. Rajesh Jain says:

    Sir, Rent paid for residential use is @ 0%, so, rent paid for premises for residential use for staff is 0% or @ 18%, & if 0%, can be claim under P&L???

  10. PRABHAKAR says:

    Dear Mr. Deepak basically the coverage of RCM arises when the bill is paid to an un regd dealer. When a bill already suffered gst where is the question of RCM. For ex . Telephone bill, insurance , Ac hotel and restaurents all are giving bill including gst. So where is the question of rcm in such cases. Pl clarify

  11. Rohan Bhate says:

    Confusion still prevails in case of payment to GTA
    If I pay rcm on payment to Transporter @ 5% then I won’t be allowed ITC??

    Further, what about interest payment to Non Banking Finance Co. whether GST under rcm to be paid to them?

  12. Balagopal says:

    Dear Gupta ji, Very informative post indeed. But the Notes are missing for readers to fully understand it. Please advise the type of items covered in “Travelling expenses – International”. Thanks.

  13. CA D.C.SINGHVI says:

    What is meaning of input credit allowable. Is it not correct that you have to book the liability first for RCM and then claim input on he tax deposited by the dealer. Meaning thereby, that RCM is neutrlised and it is bookes as expenditure. Kindly clear this point. Like job work of textiles. One got the job work from unregistered dealer under GST and the dealer has to pay RCM. Is that dealer is not required to pay tax by RCM mechanism on Jobwork and adjust the payment by way of input tax on the tax deposited on jobwork.

  14. VENEET ARORA says:

    What will be the practice if we take service from a tractor wala who not falls under Goods transport agency but works independently and does not give any invoice to the service receipent. Will That expence fall under 5000/- per day expence limit or will it fall under compulsary taxable service under Rcm.

  15. R K MAHARIWAL says:

    PLEASE MENTION THE GST RATE ON SUPPLY OF MOTOR VEHICLE TO COMPANY AND/OR ANY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE (PICK UP THE STAFF FROM RAILWAY/BUS STATION AND DROP AT THE THEIR PREMISES AND VISE VERSA)
    THE CONTRACT IS MONTHLY BASIS AND TDS ARE DEDUCTED AT APPLICABLE RATE
    1 THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS OWNER OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE AND INPUT CREDIT TAKEN
    2 THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS OWNER OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE AND NO INPUT CREDIT TAKEN
    3 THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS TAKEN THE MOTOR VEHICLE ON RENT BASIS AND CAN SERVICE PROVIDER TAKE INPUT CREDIT
    4 THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS TAKEN THE MOTOR VEHICLE ON RENT BASIS AND IF SERVICE PROVIDER WILL NOT TAKE INPUT CREDIT
