Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under GST on Security Services (Applicability from 01.01.2019) – 

RCM On Security Service has been introduced in GST by Government vide Notification No. 29/2018 – Central tax dated 31.12.2018.

Before Understanding RCM on Security Service let’s first understand difference between Normal Charge & Reverse Charge.

Normal Charge : In Normal Charge Supplier (Seller or Service Provider) Charge GST on Invoice & collect it from customer & pay it to Government.

Reverse Charge : Reverse Charge is mechanism where the Recipient of the goods and/or services is liable to pay GST instead of supplier.

GST Applicability on Security Service on or before 31.12.2018 : 

On or before 31.12.2018 Security service provider charge GST on invoice & collect GST from customer & pay it to Government so that means Security Service Provider was liable to pay GST .

GST Applicability on Security Service from 01.01.2019 : 

With effect from 01.01.2019 Any Registered Person receiving security services (Service provided by way of supply of security personnel) from any person other than a body corporate is required to pay GST on reverse charge basis.

For Example : ABC being partnership firm provide security service to XYZ (Service Receiver) then GST liability is on XYZ on Reverse charge basis.

But in the same example if ABC is a body corporate then the case is normal charge & ABC will charge GST on invoice & collect GST amount from XYZ & pay it to Government.

However, Government Department/Establishment/Agency who have taken registration under GST only for TDS purpose and those paying tax under Composition Scheme are not required to pay GST on RCM basis.

    We are a Security Service Provider and incorporated under the Companies Act 1956 (No 1 of 1956) and the company Limited. Being a Corporate Body company the RCM is applicable or not. If not, please specify the rules and act so that we can ask for GST from our client as they are not paying GST from last six month by saying that they are comes RCM and the client is also a Private Ltd Company.
