GST on professional services: supply of services taxable, with registration, provisional ITC matching and return obligations.
GST treats professional services as taxable where there is a supply for consideration; intra State supplies attract CGST/SGST and inter State supplies attract IGST. Time and value of supply follow invoice or payment rules. Each office must register in the State of supply and tax is deposited from that State. Input Tax Credit is available but provisional until supplier payment and return matching; unmatched credits are reversed with interest. Professionals face specified return filings and a payment prioritisation rule, and transitional carry forward of service tax credit is subject to GST ITC admissibility. (AI Summary)
