..... if a supplier is registered in multiple states and let out property on rent so what should be charged CGST and SGST / IGST. Eg : If a supplier is registered in maharashtra and also registered in gujarat and had let out property on rent located in gujarat. so what should he charged CGST and SGST / IGST? In my case he had issued an bill with IGST and given number of maharashtra branch so is it okay ?? or he has to compulsory charged CGST and SGST as he is registered in gujarat. - Reply By Amit Agrawal - The Reply = As per Section 2 (71) of the CGST Act, 2017 , location of the supplier of services means, (a) where a supply is made from a place of business for which the registration has been obtained, the location of such place o .....

..... ce strategy at his end. Your query raised in from point of view of recipient of subject services who presumably wants to take ITC against IGST so charged by the supplier and concerned that such ITC will be disputed by Dept. in future. If so, my views are as under: A. Taking ITC of IGST so charged can be legally defended judicially. B. Kindly ensure that as per your written agreement understanding with the supplier that in case of dispute raised in future by Dept., you will NOT allow the supplier to change the invoices raised it is responsibility of the supplier ( not yours) to defend type of taxes charged by him and GSTN used to levy such taxes. For above suggestion, it is presumed that address of supplier mentioned in .....

..... your lease / rental agreement is that of Maharashtra not that of Gujrat. Of-course, address of property given on lease / rental ( which is different from address of supplier ) will be that of Gujrat. BUT , if address of supplier mentioned in your lease / rental agreement is that of Gujrat, to avoid needless disputes etc. , you should ideally ask him to levy CGST SGST from supplier's gst registration taken in Gujrat . These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion. - Reply By Padmanathan Kollengode - The Reply = Section 22 of CGST Act, 2017 :- 22. (1) Every supplier shall be liable to be registered under this Act in the State or Union territory, other .....

..... ental service or not). So, RP has to raise CGST + SGST from Gujarat Registration in my view. (I am open to contrary views which are possible on this issue, this is only my view). The crux of the matter, to my understanding of the issue is, where is the person providing the service from? is it from MH or Guj? - Reply By Shreyansh Mehta - The Reply = The registered person is registered in both the states and i want to know that if i am issuing bill from maharashtra only negative point is that i cannot claim input tax credit against the liability . But if i issue bill from gujarat i can claim ITC against the liability. For recepient it will be same from whichever state i am issuing bill. Recepient can claim ITC of Rent paid. My poin .....

..... O.K. Regarding conclusion, we are on the same page but path is different. - Reply By Shilpi Jain - The Reply = Why is the person registered in MH and GJ? If there is no other supply in the State of GJ then registration can be cancelled and invoice can be issued only from MH as IGST. - Reply By GUNASEKARAN K - The Reply = Its very simple; The properties located in Gujarat Maharashtra, also he registered in both States. Place of Supply is same as place of property. So Invoice must be issued from the state of property is located and CGST SGST only applicable. - GST on renting of immovable property - Query Started By: - Shreyansh Mehta Dated:- 10-7-2023 Goods and Services Tax - GST - Got 8 Replies - GST - Discussi .....
