However, as per section 14 of the IGST Act, where online information and database access or retrieval services are provided by any person located in a non-taxable territory and are received by a non-taxable online recipient in taxable territory, then the supplier of such service shall be liable to discharge integrated tax. The non-taxable online recipient is defined in section 2(16) of the IGST Act. The supplier of such service shall take a single registration under a single registration scheme notified by the Government.
 
As per section 2(16), “non-taxable online recipient” means any Government, local authority, governmental authority, an individual or any other person not registered and receiving online information and database access or retrieval services in relation to any purpose other than commerce, industry or any other business or profession, located in the taxable territory.
