What is the Reverse Charge mechanism?
The reverse charge mechanism is an indirect tax concept that shifts the responsibility for paying value-added tax (VAT) or goods and services tax (GST) from the supplier to the buyer. The reverse charge mechanism applies only to transactions between businesses for goods and services and may apply to either domestic or cross-border transactions.
