RCM still not applicable from 01.02.2019
Under section 9(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, the central tax in respect of the supply of taxable goods or services by a unregistered supplier to a registered person is required to be paid by the recipient on reverse charge basis.
Notification No. 8/2017 had provided exemption from RCM to intra-State supplies.
The exemption was not available where aggregate value of such supplies of goods or service received by a registered person from any or all the unregistered suppliers exceeded five thousand rupees in a day. However the RCM was suspended by subsequent notifications
Meantime the section 9(4) of the CGST Act was amended vide CGST Amendment Act 2018 to provide that the Government shall specify a class of registered persons who shall, be liable to RCM for goods/services received from an unregistered supplier.
In view of the above RCM provisions under section 9(4) of CGST Act 2017 (as amended) are not applicable despite the Notification No. 8/2017 being rescinded
