State the person liable to pay GST in the following independent cases provided recipient is located in the taxable territory: (i) Sponsorship services provided by a company to an individual. (ii) Renting of immovable property service provided by the Central Government to a registered business entity.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

(i) GST on sponsorship services provided by any person other than body corporate to any body corporate or partnership firm located in the taxable territory is payable under reverse charge. Since in the given case, services have been provided by a body corporate to an individual, reverse charge provisions will not be attracted. GST is payable under forward charge by the supplier - company. (ii) GST on services supplied by Central Government excluding the Ministry of Railways (Indian Railways), State Government, Union territory or local authority by way of renting of immovable property to a person registered under CGST Act, 2017 is payable under reverse charge. Therefore, in the given case, GST is payable under reverse charge by the recipient - registered business entity.
