Recipient

Recipient of supply covers the payer or the person receiving goods/services, including agents, under GST definition.

The term recipient for GST includes the person liable to pay for a supply and, if no consideration is payable, the person to whom goods are delivered or made available or to whom services are rendered; it also expressly includes an agent acting on behalf of that person. The definition identifies delivery, possession, use or rendering as operative links where consideration is absent, and administrative guidance questions whether an Indian representative of a foreign client or the advertising target audience qualifies as recipient for advertising services.
