Co-op's Govt. landscape work GST exemption clarified
The ruling determined that the cooperative society's landscape development and maintenance work for government bodies through sub-contracts is exempt from GST under specified conditions when directly provided to government entities. However, the sub-contracted work by the society to subcontractors does not qualify for the exemption as the recipients are not within the specified classes outlined in the notifications.
Issues: 1. Whether landscape development and maintenance work for government departments through sub-contracts attracts GST as inward suppliesRs.
Analysis: 1. The applicant, a cooperative society, sought an advance ruling on the GST applicability for landscape development and maintenance work for government bodies through sub-contracts.
2. The applicant provided pure services to government entities, exempted under Notification No. 12/2017. They subcontracted this work and questioned the tax liability on these sub-contracts.
3. The Authority examined two types of activities by the applicant: pure services without goods and composite supply of goods and services. The former was exempted, and the latter was subject to conditions under Notification No. 12/2018.
4. For activities involving goods, the value of goods should not exceed 25% of the composite supply value, provided to government entities for specific functions as per the Constitution.
5. The applicant's landscape work was assumed to meet the conditions. However, the recipient must be a government entity, and the activity must relate to functions entrusted to municipalities or panchayats under the Constitution.
6. If all conditions are met, the applicant's activity is exempted under the mentioned notifications.
7. Sub-contracted work by the applicant to subcontractors was found not exempted under the same notifications. The recipient of the sub-contract service was not covered under the specified classes in the notifications.
8. The ruling stated that sub-contract work by the applicant would not be exempt from GST under the notifications, as the applicant did not fall under the specified recipient classes.
