15 December 2018 Hello Everyone,

I'm running a small software startup and providing software service to clients outside only India. I don't have any indian client to whom I'm providing any software services. Till last financial year, my turnover was less than 20 lac so I was not worried about GST but in current financial year, I'm expecting it to cross by 20 lac.

I'm receiving all payment via foreign bank account and in foreign currency only.

Should I apply for GST number and does it bring GST liability to my company as well ?

Please help me as I have searched internet thoroughly but got mixed response.

I appreciate your responses here!

Thanks
Neha
