RCM is not applicable w.e.f.13.10.2017 on inward supply of goods or services or both from a person not registered under GST. Now , that provision u/a 9(4) is rescinded. Hence, if the selling agent is not registered under GST then RCM is not applicable to you. Also, the said service is not falling under 9(3). Further, if that agent is registered then he will charge GST on the invoice.

If the commission of the agent crosses the threshold limit then he has to register under GST. Commission is a taxable service.

Dear Experts,

Thanks for all those who responded to my query regarding the applicability of GST on selling commission under RCM. I understood that irrespective of the Turnover a person who has received a selling commission then he has to compulsorily register under the Act and collect the GST and pay.
