Reverse Charge in Taxation

Reverse Charge
Reverse charge is a scenario in Taxation, where, the tax paying entity creates a tax liability on it self.
One of the examples of this is India GST, where reverse charge needs to be applicable under specific
scenarios, such as Purchase from Unregistered Vendors, Import of services and Purchase of specific Goods
and Services.
‘To understand it better, let us take the an example. An organization purchases goods from a supplier. That
supplier is not eligible/registered to pay taxes to government. The rule in that particular tax regime tells,
that, in such case, the buyer needs to create a tax liability on itself and submit the tax amount to
government. This concept is called reverse charge.
Let's talk about it from an accounting point of view.
Purchase without Reverse Charge (Regular Purchase)
In case of anormal purchase, the accounting entry will be as it below.
Vendor Cr 1100
Expenses Dr 900
Input Tax Dr 100
In this case, the buying organization pays the tax amount to the Vendor(in the payment against invoice),
who in turn will submit it to the government.

Hi.
Very Nice post.
Ihave below comments,
The Screenshot under comment Condition Type Set up in Tax Procedure ZP3 calculated from step 190 and
ZP2 from step 100 (assuming Step 100 is base amount).
As per me its both ZP3 and ZP2 should be calculated from step 100 to have null effect if | am using % as tax
percentage rate.

It works in both the ways.
1. You can take the Tax Base amount directly from Step 100 and make the Tax percentage in Positive
2. You can take the Tax Base amount from Step 190 and make the Tax Percentage -100 (Negative)
Example 1:
Goods/Service DR 1000
Supplier/Vendor cR 1000
Input Tax DR 200 (20% on Basic 1000)
Output Tax cR 200 (20% on Basic 1000)
Example 2:
Goods/Service DR 1000
Supplier/Vendor cR 1000
