WE ARE CABLE OPERATOR AND EVEN PROVIDE BROADBAND SERVICES. LAST YEAR TURNOVER IS LESS THAN 20 LAKH. NOT YET REGISTERED UNDER SERVICE TAX. DO WE NEED TO REGISTER UNDER GST ?
Yes, LCOs have to register for GST even if their total taxable revenue is less than the ₹ 20,00,000 threshold. LCOs are selling the cable TV packages to customers, which can only be accessed/viewed with the help of STB, which is controlled, owned and provided by the MSO.
By virtue of Section 24, Clause (vii) of CGST Act, 2017 every LCO has to register under GST.
Even if the LCO is managing only one Cable TV connection, he is liable to get registered under GST.
I am working with an International company which is doing LSTK contract with an Indian Co. Such Intl. Co. do not have any Permanent Establishment in India, they take contract from Indian Co. and use subcontractors in India and pay them directly. Indian Co. pay the International company directly full contract value after deducting earlier Service Tax. Under GST is it required the company who do not have PE should register with GST?
