RCM for Commercial Property Rentals: A New Provision in GST Understanding the Implications of Notification No. 09/2024 The Indian government has introduced a significant change to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime with the issuance of Notification No. 09/2024. This notification mandates the implementation of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for the renting of commercial property by any unregistered person to a registered person.

  Can a composition taxpayer sell through an e-commerce operator in India? In the realm of tax compliance, the Composition Scheme emerges as a beacon of simplicity for small businesses, especially those navigating the complexities of e-commerce. Recent amendments have expanded the scope of this scheme, granting e-commerce goods suppliers the opportunity to embrace its advantages. Now, they can revel in the perks of a fixed tax rate based on turnover and streamlined compliance procedures.

This amendment represents a significant stride forward, lightening the tax load for e-commerce goods suppliers. It's a testament to fostering growth and adherence to regulations within the ever-evolving digital marketplace.
