Foreign Ad Charges in 2017-18: Reverse Charge GST Due, No ITC Claim Allowed Now Under CGST Sections 13(3)(a) & (b) An assessee paid advertisement charges to a foreign media company in 2017-18 and inquired whether these charges are subject to reverse charge under the import of service. If liable and paid in 2019-20, the question arose about claiming CENVAT credit for that period. One response indicated that GST on reverse charge mechanism (RCM) should have been paid in 2017-18, and input tax credit (ITC) cannot be claimed now. Another response confirmed ITC is inadmissible due to the time of supply rules under the CGST Act, specifically sections 13(3)(a) and (b). (AI Summary)
