GST on Consulting

Venkatraman (Finance Controller) (44 Points)

Hello All,

I am an Individual residing in Mumbai, India and providing Consulting Service to a Company registered outside India in the area of Sales and Marketing. I raise and submit my Invoice in US Dollars and the same is settled by the Company via Transferwise/NIUM and so my account is credited with INR.

Since my services are Export in nature + Services are supplied to a Foreign Entity + value of services will not exceed the limit of INR 20L per annum my question is - (a) Do I need to get myself GST registered? (b) Are my Exports Exempt / Zero Rated?

Appreciate if you could clarify.

Regards

The export of goods or services is considered as a zero-rated supply. GST will not be levied on export of any kind of goods or services. A duty drawback was provided under the previous laws for the tax paid on inputs for the export of exempted goods.

GST rate on consultancy services : Consultancy services attracts 18% of GST Rate. Consultancy can be of any nature related to healthcare, finance, investments etc. Though there are five slab rates, but consultancy services falls under 18% slab only.

Hello Debora M,

Thank you for your reply. I agree the GST rate for Consultancy is 18%, but as i mentioned in my question the consultancy is provided to a Company Registered outside India. So in this case GST would be Zero Rated. Thank you
