We have already discussed the place of supply of goods under GST, now in this article we will review the determination of the place of supply in case of Services.

However, in the case of services, it’s not that easy to track the place of consumption, because many a time service recipients are not registered. For example, in the case of online consultancy, it’s hard to keep track of the address of every person to whom such services are provided. We have already covered the topic of time/point of taxation earlier.
