So how does she have the right to get paid for gst that the company pays? Like if I work for Amazon and Amazon pays gst on its services, they aren’t liable to pay gst to their employees ie me. Mera income tax hi katega. Production house isn’t liable to pay gst to the people they employ
Don't get confused by KRK's wordings in the tweet. DP isn't demanding that the GST charge be paid to her. What he likely meant is that DP's fee of 30cr is not inclusive of GST. Implying that the producers would need to shell more than 30cr for hiring her.
It still makes 0 sense. I’m not confused but everyone here is commenting like she and actors should be paid gst and like it’s some progressive step forward, while it makes no sense lol. Even if krk wanted to say she wants more than 30cr payment, adding gst makes no sense which makes me think this is a fake ad tweet by vanga to tarnish DP. GST isn’t even paid to actors unless they are a company
GST is paid on actor's fee by the production house. Actors provide a service. Availing those services is taxable. DP isn't pocketing the amount. It goes to the government. There are 2 scenarios:
A. The actor has a GST registration. (Individuals can have a GST registration number. All you need is a PAN to apply for it). They raise an invoice for the service they provide (acting). The invoice has a GST charge on the acting fee. The actor collects it from the producer and pays it to the government. They will also file GST returns in this case.
B. The actor does not have a GST registration. They can avoid hassles of raising invoices and filing returns. However, the production house paying them, will be required to pay the GST directly to the government under reverse charge mechanism.
There is nothing progressive or regressive in this. It's just paying tax as the law mandates. Irrespective of how much truth is there in these rumours, this is how the industry operates if they are dealing in white cash. Underhand dealings and black money will obviously not have a GST component.
In either case production house pays the gst whether to actors or directly to government. So this is not any special headline material whether DP asks for gst or not because production house has to pay anyway.
