Gst on sub broker & authorised person of a stock broker

 
Please advise and assist in understanding the effect of GST on Existing Sub – Brokers / Authorised Persons of stock broking houses and stock brokers.

Under the old ambit of Service Tax, Sub – Brokers / Authorised Persons of stock brokers, were not liable to charge any service tax to customers as services of Sub – Brokers / Authorised Persons were exempted.

Attached is list of exempted services under the Service Tax regim. Please refer to Page 9 of attachment “exemptions” serial no 29. 

https://www.cbec.gov.in/resources//htdocs-servicetax/mega-exemption-notfn.pdf

 

However under the GST regim, the clause of Sub  Brokers / Authorised Person is not mentioned anywhere.

https://www.cbec.gov.in/resources//htdocs-cbec/gst/Schedule%20of%20GST%20rates%20for%20services.pdf

Please help in seeking clarification as sub brokers and authorised person only provide service. SUB BROKERS DO NOT CHARGE ANY SERVICE TAX OR GST ON THE CONTRACT NOTE. THE END CUSTOMER PAYS THE NET CONTRACT NOTE VALUE WHICH IS INCLUSIVE OF SERVICE TAX TO THE BROKER DIRECTLY. THE CONTRACT NOTE IS ISSUED DIRECTLY BY THE BROKER.

HOW CAN A SUB BROKER PAY GST FROM HIS POCKET @ 18 % WHEN WE IS NOT COLLECTING AND GST FROM THE CUSTOMER?

PLEASE ADVISE.

Anyother Sub-Broker or Authorised Person having the same query or a resolution to the query please revert at the email ( amit.khanna8@yahoo.com or ping on +91 9831074224 )

I am a sub broker in Indian stock market. My broker has already charged July month GST from my clients and passed the same to me along with my incentive.

I got my business registered under GST on Aug 25th 2017. Is there any problem in paying July month invoice (because my GST registration completed in Aug month)?

Are you holding physical shares? They are likely to become zero in the first week of December, 2018. Appropriate solution to the Physical Shares problem can be expected from M/s 'M/s 5 Star Consultants', if contacted at: whatsolution4me@gmail.com

Sec. 24. Compulsory registration in certain cases

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1) of section 22, the following categories of persons shall be required to be registered under this Act, ––

(vii) persons who make taxable supply of goods or services or both on behalf of other taxable persons whether as an agent or otherwise;

Would sub-broker fall in this category? 

As per Stock Brokers and Sub Brokers Regulation, 1992 issued by SEBI, a “sub broker” means “any person, not being a member of stock exchange, who acts on behalf of a stockbroker as an agent or otherwise for assisting the investors in buying, selling or dealing in securities through such stockbrokers”. However, even the sub-broker should be duly registered under Section 24(vii) of the GST Act 2017. The act clearly mentions that any individual or organization acting as such an intermediary requires compulsory registration and compliance under GST. All the top broking firms are registered and adhere to this practice.

Under GST rules, tax is applied to the brokerage earned. However, the agent is not required to pay any GST on any amount recovered for delays if they meet pure agent status.
