100. When a person receives a supply of imported services for the purpose of business, he is treated as if he is making and receiving the supply. Since he is treated as making a supply, he is required to account GST on the supply of imported services as his output tax.

101. If the imported services are used for making taxable supplies, he is entitled to claim the GST incurred as his input tax. If the supply is used for making exempt supplies, he is not entitled to claim the GST as his input tax. If the imported services are used for making both taxable and exempt supplies, then he has to apportion the GST incurred and claim the proportion of GST on imported services used for making taxable supplies.

102. If the recipient is a taxable person, he has to declare both input tax and output tax in his GST return and pay the tax not later than the last day of the following month after the end of his taxable period where the payment for the supply of imported services is made to the supplier.

103. If the recipient is not a taxable person, he is still required to account the GST as output tax and declare the tax in a prescribed form (Form GST-04). The tax has to be paid not later than the last day of the subsequent month from the month in which the payment of supply is made.
