I am cultivating cashew
nuts and selling to the wholesalers. My total annual sales turnover is around
Rs.25 lacs to Rs.30 lacs. Is there GST for Cashew nuts? Should I register?
Answer:

pay the GST to the Government at the time of procurement under reverse charge
basis and avail himself of the input tax credit.

We are exporting tea.
We have engaged agents in foreign countries. Should we pay GST under reverse
charge basis when we pay commission to them?
Answer:
Generally, if the
service provider is in a foreign country and the receiver of services is in
India, for such transactions, the receiver of service in India must pay tax
under reverse charge basis. But the service provided by the foreign agents, as
you mentioned, will not be considered as service provided in India. Therefore,
there is no reverse charge basis.
