Goods and Services Tax – GST

Reverse Charge
\nSection 2(24) of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ('Act' for short) provides that words and expressions used and not defined in this Act but defined in the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act and the Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Act shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in those Acts. The expression 'reverse charge' has not been defined in the Act. Therefore we may take the definition as contained in CGST Act, 2017. Section 2(98) of CGST Act defines the phrase 'reverse charge' as the liability to pay tax by the recipient of supply of goods or services or both instead of the supplier of such goods or services or both under sub-section (3) or sub-section (4) of section 9, or under sub-section (3) or subsection (4) of section 5 of the Integrated Goods and <\/p>\n
