GST TAXABILITY
CABIJENDERKUMAR BANSAL
Reverse charge GST applies to imported online software licences; the recipient must account for tax despite credit-card payment. Expert advice states that when a person purchases online software licence keys sent by email from abroad and sells them to Indian customers, GST is payable by the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism; payment by credit card does not affect the recipient's liability to account for GST on the imported intangible supply.
