Understanding Reverse Charge Mechanism Under GST for Renting Properties: Key Points on Applicability and Liabilities A discussion on a forum addressed the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under GST for renting residential and commercial properties. The initial query sought clarification on RCM liability when rent is below Rs. 50,000, particularly if the landlord is unregistered and the tenant is registered. Responses clarified that RCM applies to residential properties rented to registered persons, with no rent threshold specified. For commercial properties, RCM is applicable if the government supplies the property. It was noted that GST at 18% applies if residential rent exceeds Rs. 50,000, but no authoritative cap was found for this threshold.
