• When I get money from YouTube for my videos, is GST included in that?

I manage an independent artist who gets paid from YouTube for his videos. I wanna know if whatever money we get from YouTube includes GST on it? Do we have to pay GST?

Hi,

Yes, the GST amount is included in the money you receive from YouTube.

You will have to do reverse calculation and pay GST. Suppose you receive inr 118. It means INR 100 is towards services and 18 is towards GST.

Yes, the amount is inclusive of that. You will need to compute the GST conponent and pay the same to the government.

GST registration is required if the aggregate turnover exceeds Rs. 20 lacs during the F.Y. If you have obtained GST registration then you need to pay GST on the amount received from the you tube. You need to do reverse calculation on the amount received and pay accordingly after claiming ITC on the inputs.

Hi

If your annual turnover exceeds 20 lakhs, you will require GST registration and file GST returns periodically. The amount received from YouTube shall be considered as inclusive of GST and reverse calculations shall be done.

If the turnover is below 20 lakhs, you are out of GST ambit.
