..... low 5000 per day, section 9(4) is not applicable. Reply By Amit Agrawal: The Reply: I think, by saying 'section 9(4) is not applicable', you actually meant to say that exemption under NOTIFICATION NO. 8/2017-CENTRAL TAX (RATE), DATED 28-6-2017 can be claimed in given circumstances. And if so, my views are as follows: The relevant wordings used in proviso in said notification are as fol .....

..... lows: the aggregate value of such supplies of goods or service or both received by a registered person from any or all the suppliers, who is or are not registered, exceeds five thousand rupees in a day. And, in my view, such aggregate value needs to be worked out on the basis of 'time of supply' u/s 12 (3) & 13 (3) read with Section 15 of the CGST Act, 2017. Now, as subject situation is .....

..... covered u/s 13 (3) (a), 'time of supply' for entire rent for July, 2017 of Rs. 10,000/- will be 'date of payment' of such rent i.e. 31.07.2017. And hence, one cannot claim subject exemption in given situation as aggregate value of such supplies so received exceeded five thousand rupees in a day. These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional .....

..... advice / suggestion. Reply By Kunal Agrawal: The Reply: But Section 13 speaks about time of supply i.e. when to pay tax. Now question is when notification 8/2017 specifically provide to calculate 5000 on daily basis and not on payment basis or liability basis, whether expenditure related to un-registered person can be calculated on daily basis or not. In my opinion, when methodology is provid .....

..... ntrary views. Reply By vijay kumar: The Reply: Your argument is not sustainable for the following reasons: In the instant case, value of supply received exceeded Rs.5000/- in a day.. It cannot be spread over the month.. RCM liability in this case is required to be determined in terms of Section 13(3) of the CGST Act'17 i.e. date of payment, which determines the tax liability of the recipien .....

..... t. Accordingly, the amount paid is the criteria, which in a day exceeds Rs.5000/- and hence RCM u/s 9(4) would apply since exemption under Nofn.8/2017-CT is not eligible. Sn.13(3) - In case of supplies in respect of which tax is paid or liable to be paid on reverse charge basis, the time of supply shall be the earlier of the following dates, namely:-- (a) the date of payment as entered in the bo .....

And our 2nd stand is that as limit of 5000 in a day is provided, so calculation should be done on a day basis. Generally payment to small vendors like for tea, house keeping etc is paid on monthly basis. So, we calculate 5000 limit payment wise then .....
