Immunity from taxation leads to GST exemption for services supplied by multilateral development banks, excluding agents. The enabling statutes grant immunity from taxation and from obligations to pay, collect or withhold taxes for the multilateral institutions and their authorised operations; accordingly, services directly provided by those institutions are exempt from GST. This exemption arises from statutory immunity and accompanying precedent holding that where the provider is absolved of tax-collection duties there is no scope to tax the recipient. The exemption does not extend to entities appointed by or acting on behalf of the institutions.
