Q1) I am a freelance service provider and my invoiced amount till now is below 20 lakhs. I have never registered for service tax. Now if my billed amount crosses 20 lakhs this year (say 22 lakhs), do I have to pay GST on the whole of 22 lakhs or additional 2 lakhs. Q2) I believe once I have registered for GST I will have to pay GST irrespective of my turnover value. Please confirm.

Thank you for answering so quickly. I am a consultant and one my projects sends me out of India. I am compensated $100 per diem for lodging and food, when I am outside India. Now suppose I am registered under GST, does this amount (the per diem) also falls under the GST? Do I have to pay GST on per diem also?
hii
You are right after registered under GST , irrespective of turnover you have to follow all compliance of GST, but in case of export of services No GST charged, i.e. you can submit LUT(Letter of Undertaking) and do export without payment of GST or pay gst and claim refund of the same.
Hi
You need to get registered once your turnover exceeds Rs. 20 lakhs and charge GST thereafter. All normal provisions shall apply once you get registered.
No. There would be no liability to pay GST on such reimbursement of expenses.
Hello,
Only the additional 2 lacs will be taxable. In case you apply for a registration now itself then you will have to start collecting and paying GST from the day you are registered under GST.
If that is reimbursement of your actual expenses then it is not, if you get it as ad hoc allowance, then it will be taxed.
Trust this clarifies your query.
Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.
Thanking You.

If you are providing services to entity registered in India, and on behalf of the company you are going outside India, then this per diem will fall under GST.
If you are providing services to the company registered outside India, (You are billing to company outside india) and receiving money in foreign exchange then it will be export of services and hence zero rated.
Thanks
