You are liable to pay GST @18%.

[Pankaj Garg]

Can you kindly confirm if there is any documentation for this?

[MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

Heading 9983 (Other professional, technical and business services)

i) Selling of space for advertisement in print media = 5%

ii) Other professional, technical and business services other than (i) above - 18%

I think that your service is coming under (ii).

Whether it is correct Shri Sethi Sir?

[KASTURI SETHI]

Yes, Sir. Undoubtedly it is classified under SAC 9983. and attracts GST @ 18%. There is also no doubt that it falls into definition of supply of service.

Sh.M. Govindarajan Ji,

Sir, It is a fact (not exaggerating) that you have been never wrong and you can be never wrong. This is my observation.

May I request if you could kindly share the official link for this issue from Income Tax Department?

[KASTURI SETHI]

GST is indirect tax and Income Tax is direct tax. Both are not required to be correlated.

[Pankaj Garg]

I understand, Can you share any official link for the above section that describes GST for Work from home Income in Software development?

[Pankaj Garg]

I want to add a point. I have actually no firm.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Study information Technology Software Services. Try on google by posting these words.

Hello everyone,

I am foreigner, based outside India.

1st time i work with an indian company and i have some questions with GST. I hope you can help. I want to use my company to invoice the indian company. but they say it is going to be subject to tax. i am ok with that but would like to know how much is the rate. is it 18% ?

When we have the tax certificate, does it mention company name only or also the name of the person on it ?

In the other hand they say if they pay on my personnal account, then no tax. do you confirm ?

Thanks for your help !

Best Regards

Tpse

Yes it would be liable for payment of GST since employee employer relationship is not existing
