Vendor not updating GST no
We have a merchant account with Apple/iOS. When someone makes payment on our app in iPhone/iPad, the payment is collected by Apple and then after deducting tax and their commission, they pay the rest of the amount to us.
Now under GST, Apple is refusing to take our GST no. and Apple has said that all GST payments will be done from their end only. Example, customer pays Rs. 1000 via credit card to Apple. Rs. 152 is deducted as GST by Apple and remaining Rs. 848 will be paid to us. So, Apple will pay this Rs. 152 to Indian govt. but will not include our GST no. when paying this.
Doing so, this is a confusion for us since we cannot directly claim that the GST has been paid by Apple and Govt would want us to pay GST on Rs. 1000, resulting in Rs. 152 additional payment, if required by govt to pay.
Also, there are only basic statements available from Apple which only show how much amount they will pay us. There is no mention of GST/TAX deduction anywhere.
How can we ensure that we don't pay GST again when it was already deducted by Apple? Is there a provision under reverse mechanism for such transaction? If yes, please explain how to treat these transactions/sales?
