I am a content writer for a client in US.
I write Content for them in word file and they publish it on their website/blog.I get paid in USD.
Whether this will be zero-rated supply? or OIDAR?
And considering this as zero rated if possible then We need not take gst registration till 20 lacs
As interstate supply of services was exempted till 20 lacs
Changed from Oct 2017
Thanks in Advance to experts
Content writing for US clients is export of service, not OIDAR; GST registration advised for ongoing USD transactions. A content writer providing services to a US client inquired about GST registration and whether their service qualifies as zero-rated supply or OIDAR. Experts clarified that content writing is not OIDAR due to human intervention, and it qualifies as an export of service. While exports are tax-free, their value must be included in the aggregate turnover for GST registration threshold calculations. Despite exemptions for interstate service supply under INR 20 lakhs, registration is advised due to the ongoing nature of transactions and receipt in USD. The discussion emphasized practical compliance with GST and related financial regulations. (AI Summary)
