In the context of GST under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM), your query involves the applicability of RCM on expenses related to both registered and unregistered suppliers. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
### **1. RCM on Unregistered Suppliers**
Under GST, the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applies when a registered person makes purchases from unregistered suppliers (URD) for certain categories of goods and services. This requires the registered person to pay GST on behalf of the unregistered supplier.
### **2. Threshold Limit**
For RCM to apply specifically on supplies from unregistered persons, there is a threshold limit of ₹5,000 per day. This means that if the total value of supplies from unregistered persons (URD) exceeds ₹5,000 on a particular day, then RCM is applicable on the entire amount, not just the amount exceeding ₹5,000.
### **3. Application to Your Case**
Given your situation:
- **Weaving Wages (₹10,000):** If these wages are paid to a registered person, then GST under RCM does not apply to these wages. The registered person will handle the GST according to regular rules.
- **Daily Expenses (₹4,500):** These are from URD supplies. Since the total expenses on the particular day (₹4,500) do not exceed the ₹5,000 threshold, RCM is **not** applicable on this amount.
**Important Point:** RCM applies only when the aggregate value of the supplies from unregistered persons exceeds ₹5,000 in a day. If your total expenses with unregistered suppliers are below this threshold, then you are not required to pay GST under RCM on those transactions.
### **4. Conclusion**
In your case, since the total daily expenses with unregistered suppliers (₹4,500) are below ₹5,000, you are not liable to pay GST under RCM for these expenses. Only when the total amount of URD supplies exceeds ₹5,000 on any given day will RCM become applicable.
### **Additional Points**
- **Maintain Proper Records:** Ensure to maintain proper records of transactions and verify the applicability of RCM based on the threshold limit. - **Consult GST Practitioner:** For any uncertainties or specific scenarios, consulting a GST practitioner or tax advisor is advisable to ensure compliance with the latest GST rules and regulations.
