A person is registered or is liable to be registered under the law would be a taxable person in GST. A person would be liable to be registered under the law under two categories:
a) Person liable to be registered mandatorily.
b) Person liable to be registered provided aggregate turnover of supply of goods or services or both exceeds threshold limit.
Generally, a person is liable to pay tax on the supply of goods or services made by him. Whether in any case, a person is liable to pay tax on these supplies received by him?
