GST is not required to be paid under reverse charge where the supplier is outside India, recipient is in India and place of supply is outside India as the goods/services are said to be consumed outside India. Refer the case of Dry Blend Foods Pvt Ltd [Ruling No. 01/2022-23 dated 1 April 2022], the Uttarakhand AAR held that the applicant is not required to pay GST on reverse charge mechanism on commission paid to the agent, since services consumed outside India. However, demands may be raised by the departmental officers. Hence, the GST council should come up with a circular providing clarity on this issue to avoid unnecessary demands and increasing the burden on the judiciary system.
