Hi,

A Bangalore IT service provider has charged CGST+SGST on the invoice as the services were provided by him in Bangalore but the billing address of the receiver is Mumbai and the payment shall also be done from Mumbai as there is no registered entity of the receiver in Bangalore.

I wanted to know whether Input tax credit shall be available on this Bangalore CGST+SGST to this Mumbai entity or no?

Please reply as soon as possible...

No, you can't avail ITC.

Which type of service provided by IT company to you ?

In my opinion the Bangalore service provider should have charged IGST as per section 12(2) of IGST Act. Then you could have claimed whole ITC.

Actually company's IT servers are located there. Therefore, the service is in the type of repairs and maintenance.

Since, it is a performance based service, the place of supply becomes Bangalore and hence IT company has charged CGST+SGST in the invoice instead of IGST. So, can we claim inout tax credit for this transaction or no?

If no, then kindly explain the reason for the same...

Then I am sure IGST is to be charged since the supplier is in Bangalore and Place of supply is in Mumbai(location of recipient). Ask them to cross check the provision and revise the invoice.

Section 12 which is applicable in your case, doesn't speak about any performance based service. Your case is not covered in sub section 3-14 and hence subsection 2 is applicable.
