liable to pay under reverse charge mechanism.
Turnover of Rs. 20,00,000/- or Rs. 10,00,000 shall
not apply.
Recipient has to issue self invoice.
Large Number of Assessees with small payment of
Taxes (RCM Applicable for purchase from URD)
Difficulty in collection of Tax (URD)
General points to be noted
Services specified by GST council & Purchase from
Un-registered dealer will attract payment under
liability of recipient to pay under RCM.
Self invoice need to be generated for Purchase
from Un-registered person
Import of Services will attract RCM
