Hi, I'm operating an e-commerce company where I would like to purchase Goods & Leads from China worth Rs 20 Lacs every month and sending payment directly to their bank account Goods => Physical products Leads => Customer Database ( Mostly 16 lacs worth every month ) Now the question is => If I send directly payment from my ICICI bank do I need to pay any Reverse tax? or RCM? Do I need to pay equalisation Levy? If Yes? than what services / product I can purchase from China or any other country where I can send payment directly from my Current account and take invoice?
Hello
Please note that this transaction will not have any implication of Equaisation levy on this transaction
With respect RCM it will apply in case of lead purchased and not in case of goods
Irrespective of country of payment above position will remain same
Yes, RCM will apply in your case. When you import the goods from China, IGST must be paid during customs clearance. Further, in case of import of services also, RCM will apply. You can take credit for this GST paid on the import in your GST returns.
No, the equalisation levy will not apply in your case.
Hi,
RCM would get attracted on import of goods. However, you can claim refund or Input credit against output GST. This is irrespective of any country.
Equalisation levy is not applicable in this case.
Please reach out for detailed consultation.
Regards
Any import is liable to RCM under GST.
The chinese vendor would form SEP in India and hence his business income would be taxable in India. Have you informed him about this?
Are you purchasing from same vendor?
The vendor needs to pay equalisation levy as his total receipts from India would exceed Rs. 2 crore.
Hope you find the information helpful, if yes do rate if 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you.
