Reverse Charge System (RCM)

Definition:

RCM stands for Reverse Charge Mechanism.

Reverse Charge indicates that the recipient of a supply of products or services, instead of the supplier, is liable for paying tax on notified categories of supply. In most cases, the supplier of products or services is responsible for paying GST. In certain circumstances, like imports and other notified supplies, the recipient could also be held liable under the reverse charge mechanism.

Reverse Charge Scenarios:

In accordance with the law, there are two sorts of reverse charge scenarios. First depends on the character of the supply and/or the nature of the provider. Section 9 (3) of the CGST/SGST (UTGST) Act and Section 5 (3) of the IGST Act govern this example. Section 9 (4) of the CGST/SGST (UTGST) Act and Section 5 (4) of the IGST Act cover taxable supplies from an unregistered person to a registered person within the second scenario.

In accordance with section 9(3) of the CGST / SGST (UTGST) Act, 2017 / section 5(3) of the IGST Act, 2017, the govt may, on the recommendations of the Council, by notification, specify categories of supply of products or services or both for which the recipient of such goods or services or both shall pay the tax on a reverse charge basis
According to section 9(4) of the CGST / SGST (UTGST) Act, 2017 / section 5(4) of the IGST Act, 2017, the tax on the availability of taxable goods or services or both by unregistered supplier to a registered person shall be paid by the registered recipient on a reverse charge basis.
In accordance with notification no.9/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017, the provisions of section 9(4) of the CGST Act, 2017 won't apply to supplies made to a TDS deductor. Consequently, government entities that are TDS Deductors under Section 51 of the CGST Act are exempt from paying GST under reverse charge for purchases from unregistered vendors.

Registration:

The threshold limit of Rs. 40 lakhs (Rs. 20 lakhs within the state of Telangana) (Rs. 20 lakhs for special category states) doesn’t apply to a person who is required to pay tax under reverse charge and is required to register under GST.

Input decrease (ITC):

A supplier cannot claim ITC for GST paid on goods or services used in the production of taxable supplies. However, after discharge of reverse charge liability, the recipient, if otherwise qualified, may claim credit for the identical.

Payment of GST under RCM:

Any amount payable under reverse charge is debited from the electronic cash ledger. In other words, input decrease cannot be used to satisfy a reverse charge liability.

Time of Supply:

In reverse charge, the recipient is liable for paying the GST. Therefore, the time of delivery for supplies subject to reverse charge differs from that of supplies subject to forwarding charge.

The earliest of the subsequent dates is the Time of Supply for the Supply of Goods.

The earliest of the subsequent dates is the time of delivery for services.

Where it’s not possible to determine the time of supply using the aforementioned methods, the time of supply would be the date of entry into the recipient’s books of account.

Compliance requirements for RCM:

Each tax invoice must indicate whether the tax on the invoiced supply is subject to reverse charge. Similarly, this must be indicated on both the receipt voucher and therefore the refund voucher if tax is due on reverse charge.
Every registered person must keep and maintain records of all supplies subject to reverse charge tax payment.
Any amount payable pursuant to a reverse charge must be deducted from the electronic cash ledger. In other words, input decrease cannot be used to satisfy a reverse charge liability. However, after discharge of reverse charge liability, the recipient, if otherwise qualified, may claim credit for the identical .
In table 4B of the GSTR-1, information at the invoice level for all supplies subject to reverse charge must be provided separately, categorized by rate.
Advance payments made for reverse charge supplies also are subject to the GST. On a reverse charge basis, the one that made the advance payment must pay tax.
