Commercial office leased falls under GST or not

If the owner's aggregate turnover is less than Rs. 20 lakhs, he need not register and charge GST.

If you are registered under GST, you will have to charge GST under reverse charge mechanism @18%.

Whether or not the owner agrees, you'll have to charge GST if you're registered under GST.

You may claim such GST paid as Input tax credit.

You must be paying gst on services provided by you (say 50000). You may take the input tax credit for the gst on rent paid under reverse charge (say 20000).

This means-

Your net gst liability = 50000-20000 = 30000

Your CA Is right you have to pay GST on rent under RCM , and take input tax credit , now your question is how input works -

You pay GST on telephone bills, banks , stationery which is your input GST and you are charging GST on your sales/services which is out put GST at the end of month you have to pay net GST to government I e Output-input and if Result comes negative then you can carry forward such input in next month

Yes, in this case, you have to pay GST under reverse charge.

Reverse charge is the case wherein instead if service provider, service receiver is liable to pay GST. It happens in cases wherein service are taken from unregistered suppliers.

You can pay GST and adjust that GST from your output tax liability.

Hello,

It is not going from your pocket but needs additional working capital. You have to pay tax under RCM while filing your returns and can be adjusted as Input Tax Credits while filing your next returns.
