Yes. Composition taxpayers pay tax on supplies received under reverse charge, such as legal services from an advocate or GTA freight in specified cases, at the normal rate, in CMP-08.

Provisions

Sec 9(3), CGST Act 2017; Rule 62, CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

RCM tax is not at the composition rate. For an advocate's fee of ₹20,000, RCM at 18 percent is ₹3,600, paid in cash. No ITC is available to you on this. Many composition dealers miss RCM, which shows up in GSTR-4 checks.

Close

  1. List RCM purchases in the quarter.
  2. Compute tax at the normal rate for each.
  3. Enter them in the inward supplies row of CMP-08.
  4. Pay in cash with the composition tax.
