Hello.

I am a freelancer writer based in New Delhi, whose primary source of income is through the online hire-&-work site freelancer.in. This is an Indian subsidiary of Australia based website freelancer.com.

I work with clients from multiple countries, who pay me in their own currencies (typically USD). I periodically withdraw these payments into my bank account via NEFT transfer. The transfer receipts state that the payments are made by 'Freelancer Online India Pvt Ltd.', which is registered in Gurgaon.

I have been treating these bank receipts as my source of income (since payments received on freelancer.in itself are in multiple currencies and don't necessarily reflect in my actual bank account). From this, I gather that for the purpose of tax calculations, my client is freelancer.in (and not the people I might be working with on the site itself). Which also means that if I am to generate any invoices for payment, these would have to be addressed to freelancer.in (or Freelancer Online India Pvt Ltd).

So far, I was making less than 9 lac per annum, and as such wasn't registered for service tax. Now, however, I will need to register for GST - which brings me to my query.

I gather that I have to generate and upload 'tax invoices' for all payments that I receive. Currently, there is no way to invoice freelancer.in itself (individual clients on the website can be invoiced, but this again invokes the matter of multiple currencies and no real sanctity to the transaction).

Could somebody advise me on how I could possibly approach this invoicing process? I could generate invoices for each and every withdrawal that I make from freelancer.in, stating my fee and GST charged on it. These invoices would reflect the exact sum of money received in my bank account, and I would then proceed to paying GST as required. The issue is that there is no way to actually send these invoices through to freelancer.in. Would simply emailing them these invoices (whether they choose to accept them or not), and keeping a record of the same, suffice as far as the new requirements for GST are concerned?

Would appreciate some advice or perspective on this. Thank you!
