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.

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

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 )
