These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion. - Reply By Kunal Agrawal - The Reply = The Time o .....

Hence, in my opinion no RCM. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Here Section 14 of CGST Act is into play. I concur with the views of Sh.Amit Agrawal Ji. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = Service received, payment made, invoice raised/received - if any of these two instances is before 18.07.22 then GST is not applicable. Otherwise, yes GST is applicable. - Reply By Shilpi Jain - The Reply = Section 14 overrides section 12 and 13 . I concur with the view of Amit ji though it is only as per Section 14 . In this case I am assuming that the agreement mentions that the payment or the invoice for the service is to be on or before 10th (continuous suppl .....

RCM not applicable. - Reply By Amit Agrawal - The Reply = Section 14 comes into picture only where there is a change in the rate of tax. Changes in tax-rate (w.r.t. 18.07.2022) are for 'services by way of renting of residential dwelling for use as residence' and not for 'services by way of renting of residential dwelling for use other than 'as residence '. So, Section 14 will not come into picture only for 'services by way of renting of residential dwelling for use as residence' and NOT for 'services by way of renting of residential dwelling for use other than 'as .....

Hence, I was guarded in my earlier response because applicability of Section 14 is not universal in given situation but dependent of nature of use. And, I stand by what I said earlier. These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion. - Reply By Amit Agrawal - The Reply = Changes in RCM provisions (w.r.t. 18.07.2022) are for 'Service by way of renting of residential dwelling to a registered person' irrespective of use (i.e. residential / non-residential). But, Section 14 have no role to play solely because subject services are brought into ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... RCM w.e.f. 18.07.2022. However, section 14 will definitely come into play (i.e. even for determining liability under RCM) where there is change of rate of tax (i.e. the situation where exemption was withdrawn - 'services by way of renting of residential dwelling for use as residence') Furthermore, Section 14 (b) deals with case/es where the goods or services or both have been supplied after the change in rate of tax while 'the time of supply' u/s 13 is for liability / payment of gst. In the context under discussion, one also needs to take note of Section 31 (5) which deals with raising tax-invoice in case of continuous supply of services. Now, if there is clear agreement between tenant / landlord for lease / .....

When services are supplied? At start of execution of agreement or continuously everyday over period of 11 months (i.e. period of lease / rental agreement) or at start of every month for that month. 2. If services are continuously supplied for everyday for 11 months (i.e. period of lease / rental agreement), what happens when supplier does not raise invoice till 17.07.2022 despite due date of paying rent for entire month of July, 2022 was 10.07.2022 and rent was also received on 10.07.20 .....

Generally, such agreement does not either have pre-mature termination clause or have period of notice for early termination is pre-decided therein. And it is presumed that we are dealing with a situation where such event is not under consideration. Main question/s - in the context under discussion here - is whether Section 14 (b) will come into play in above scenario just because landlord failed to raise invoice on or before 17.07.2022. As there are multiple legal issues are involved here and some of them are dependent upon nature / contents of agreement between landlord and tenant, I was guarded in my response in my post at serial number 1 above. Hence and in summary, I ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... stand by what I said earlier in my post at serial number 1 above. These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion. - Reply By Shilpi Jain - The Reply = There is lack of clarity in the query whether the renting was from an unregistered person earlier and was not liable to gst. Also the usage of the residential dwelling is not known. If that was used for residence then it was exempt earlierand now because of the change in provisions there is a liability on the registered person. if in fact there is change in rate ofntax then section 14 will apply, else will not apply - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Perfect reply by Madam Shilpi Jain. - residential dwelling RCM - Qu .....
