09 July 2017 If a company hires any retainer under a contract and the retainer is not registered under GST then is the company liable to pay GST under RCM?
Also, if a company avail the services of freelancers who are also not registered then would RCM become applicable? Going by a hypothetical number say 500 freelancers in a month.
