We have a godown in Porur, and we pay rent every month after TDS is deducted. Recently, my friend mentioned that RCM is applicable for commercial rent payments to an unregistered person (URP). Could you please clarify my doubts?

Yes, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) issued Notification No. 09/2024 – Central Tax (Rate) on October 8, 2024. This notification brings under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) the renting of commercial property when an unregistered person provides the service to a registered person, effective from October 10, 2024. Starting from October 10, 2024, if the tenant is registered under GST and the landlord is unregistered, the tenant is required to pay 18% GST under RCM. The tenant can claim ITC for the amount paid under RCM.
