About this service

A foreign business can be caught by Indian GST without ever setting foot in India. Supplying digital services to Indian consumers, selling through an Indian marketplace, or coming in temporarily for an exhibition or a project can all create a registration obligation, sometimes as a non-resident taxable person with tax payable in advance. Separately, an Indian subsidiary importing services from its parent normally has to account for GST under reverse charge — a liability that surprises almost every new entrant. We work out what actually applies before a demand arrives.

Frequently asked questions

We sell software subscriptions to Indian customers with no Indian entity — are we caught?
Possibly. Supplies of digital services to Indian consumers can require registration and tax collection even with no presence in India. It turns on who your customers are and how the service is delivered.
What is a non-resident taxable person?
A person supplying in India occasionally with no fixed place here — a typical exhibition or short project case. Registration is time-bound and tax is generally deposited in advance.
Our Indian subsidiary pays the parent for services. Is there GST?
Usually yes, under reverse charge — the Indian entity accounts for the tax itself. It is frequently claimable as credit, but it must still be reported.
Is GST registration state-wise?
Yes. GST is registered per state, so operating in several states can mean several registrations and several sets of returns.
