As you are in reverse charge mechanism, you are liable for registration irrespective of turnover. And in case of export of services receiver need not to confirm the transaction.
GST for international client and other questions
Hi, I have taken a service tax number for my digital marketing firm. And I have below doubts: 1. The annual turnover from all the clients is not exceeding 20 lakhs. Do I have to get registered for GST? If yes, then will I have to charge the tax knowing that my turnover is not exceeding 20 lakhs? 2. I have a client who is in the US. Will I have to charge GST as he doesn't fall in the GST regime? 3. If I have a client who is not registered under GST, do I have to charge him the tax? As while filing the return, the receiver and payee both have to confirm the transaction. But since my client is not registered, how will he confirm? I would highly appreciate an expert replying on this. Thanks, Humayun.

Hello,
1. Since your turnover is below Rs.20 Lacs you need not get registered under GST.
2. In case you are registered then you need not charge GST on export of services.
3. No, the receiver only has to confirm if he wants input credit or else its not required.
Trust this clarifies your query.
Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.
Thanking You.

Hi Humayun,
1. You need not to take registration only if you don't have inter-state supply, exprot of services, reverse charge etc.
However, since you have client in USA which is export of service, you have to take Registration.
2. No, you need not to charge any GST in case of export of services.
3.Yes, you have to charge him the tax. Consumer of service need not to confirm the transaction.
Please feel free to call/ revert in case of any doubts

Hello everyone, Thanks for answering my questions. However, there's some confusion. Mr Rohit said, I need not register if I don't have a turnover of 20 lakhs and above. But Mr. Abhishek said that since I have a client outside India, I will have to register irrespective of the turnover. Please clarify on this. IMP: Even if I get registered and the turnover is below 20 lakhs, will I have to charge GST for Indian clients or not? Thanks again for the answers. -Humayun.

Thanks everyone for your answers. Right now my US client is sending me payment through PayPal. If I raise an invoice to his address in Delhi (they have an address in Delhi) and receive payment from Delhi only, will I still have to get registered under GST? One last question, if I provide inter-state service, for example, I am in Delhi and provide SEO service to someone in Mumbai, will I have to register for GST in that scenario? Please answer above two questions. -Humayun.
