Pay GST on reverse charge on software purchased from foreign supplier

By | August 19, 2017

 

Question 10: Would I be liable to pay GST on reverse charge even if the foreign supplier of software from whom I buy for use in my firm registered under GST was to accept the payment in Indian Rupees?

Answer: Yes, you would be liable to pay GST. A supply is treated as an import of service if the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) the supplier of service is located outside India;
(2) the recipient of service is located in India; and
(3) the place of supply of service is in India.

The place of such supply would be taken to be the location where the firm is registered (in GST) and the supplies would attract integrated tax (IGST). The factum of which currency was used to pay the
consideration is immaterial.
