To become a inter state supply , both location of supplier and place of supply should be in different states. But in my case both are same. So according to definition , my service is not inter state supply & i able to claim the 20 lac exemption. Is I am correct??

If address of buyer is Rajasthan and buyer is exporter, place of supply is same state of supplier i.e. Kandla Port (Gujarat), then IGST will apply or CGST/SGST?
It will charge under SGCT and CGST Act.

Dear sir,
We represent many over seas organizations and sell their products in india. Material is directly billed by Overseas OEM to indian customers and we get fixed commission (as per contract). They are not ready to pay GST and they pay faxes in their country. Under service tax we were paying 15% service tax (it is like turnover tax for us). Now it is becoming no more viable. Can some one explain under new IGST, what will be the tax our flow for my company as OEM are ready to pay the same. I red some where that it is against international norms to charge IGST to over seas OEM under this circumstances. Please advice, is there any solution.
Even I am in the same situation
Please inform me if some clarity comes in this case
It will charge under GST act, if the overseas organisation does not pay the GST, the assess in India has to pay tax on the same.
MY FURTHER QUERY IS:
**In the said case IF the Place of Service is taken as Overseas then IT is Export of Service and Not Taxable
**If place of Service is taken as Office of Indian Service provider THEN Will it be treated as INTRA-STATE and exemption of 20 Lacs will be available ???
Dear sir,
Thanks for clrifications. How can I show that place of service is out side India. OEM is located out side India. But we are a local company sells their products in India and receive commission in FE. Under this how can I prove the place of service is out side India?
Best regards
