GST Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) further Deferred/ Suspended till 30 Sept. 2019, notifies CBIC
The CBIC has notified that the provisions relating to Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under Section 9(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, Section 5(4) of the IGST Act, 2017 and Section 7(4) of the UTGST Act, 2017 have been further Deferred/ Suspended by Govt. for 1 year upto 30 Sept. 2019 from 30 Sept. 2018. Earlier, the CBEC/ CBIC had notified on 13 Oct. 2017/ 23 March 2018/ 29 June 2018 that implementation of these provisions has been deferred upto 31 March 2018/ 30 June 2018/ 30 Sept. 2018 respectively.
It may be noted that the GST Council has recommended in it’s 28th Meeting held at New Delhi on 21st July 2018 to defer the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) provisions for further one year upto 30 Sept. 2019. Also GST Council has recommended to restrict the scope of RCM provisions to supply of specified goods only.
Further, it may be noted that there is no change on reverse charge provisions under Section 9(3) of CGST/ SGST Acts, Section 7(3) of UTGST Act and Section 5(3) of the IGST Act, relating to GTA, Legal Services provided by an Advocate, etc. and for that reason only it’s called to be a partial suspension of RCM.
This partial suspension of RCM is basically meant for convenience of large taxpayers and survival of unregistered taxpayers. It will provide an opportunity to such taxpayers with more time to be familiar with the compliance requirements. Meanwhile the Government will also be able to streamline the relevant procedures. In fact large/ registered businesses were reluctant to make compliance/ pay tax on behalf of small/ unregistered businesses and they were avoiding to do business with them. This will benefit small businesses and substantially reduce compliance costs.
