We are registered under GST & providing tourism services to our clients. We have done payments for a hotel room & tax services in Ladakh and bundled them as a tour package for our client. The hotel has not provided us a tax invoice and stated that Ladakh region is exempt from taxes. The taxi provider is also unregistered with GST and has not provided us a tax invoice.
Now what should we do for proper GST invoicing & compliance? We have already paid taxes through GSTR 3B on total value of our tour package. For GSTR 1, shall we fill our above purchase details as purchase from unregistered vendors and pay the appropriate taxes and then claim our taxes back under reverse charge mechanism (RCM) ? Kindly suggest.
Business Seeks GST Refund for Ladakh Services; Clarification on Reporting and Supplier Turnover Threshold Provided A business providing tourism services queried about GST compliance for services purchased in Ladakh, where a hotel and taxi provider did not issue tax invoices, claiming tax exemption. The business had already paid taxes via GSTR 3B and sought advice on reporting these purchases in GSTR 1. Respondents clarified that GST applies in Ladakh post-8 July 2017, and suggested checking supplier turnover for GST applicability. They advised claiming a refund for excess tax paid and emphasized the importance of the transaction period, noting purchases were from July to October 2017. The business confirmed the hotel turnover exceeded the threshold, while the taxi provider's did not. (AI Summary)
