pay GST.

Input Tax Credit:
The service recipient can avail Input Tax credit on the Tax amount that is paid under
reverse charge on goods and services. The only condition is that the goods and services
are used or will be used for business or furtherance of business. Unfortunately, ITC cannot
be used to pay output tax, which means that payment mode is only through cash under
reverse charge
Compliance in respect of supplies under reverse charge mechanism
As per section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Rule 46 of the CGST Rules, 2017,
every tax invoice has to mention whether the tax in respect of supply in the invoice is
payable on reverse charge. Similarly, this also needs to be mentioned in receipt voucher
as well as refund voucher, if tax is payable on reverse charge.
Any amount payable under reverse charge shall be paid by debiting the electronic cash
ledger. In other words, reverse charge liability cannot be discharged by using input tax
credit. However, after discharging reverse charge liability, credit of the same can be
taken by the recipient, if he is otherwise eligible.
