    Show AI Summary

    Clarification on place of supply of data hosting services provided by service providers located in India to cloud computing service providers located outside India.
    Show AI Summary
    Place of supply of data hosting services: recipient-location rule makes overseas recipients' location determine export treatment.
    Data hosting providers in India supply comprehensive data-centre services on their own account-owning or managing premises, hardware, software, power, connectivity, security and personnel-and thus are not intermediaries, their services are not in respect of goods "made available" by recipients, nor are they services directly related to immovable property. Consequently, the specific place-of-supply rules for intermediaries, goods made available, and immovable property do not apply; the default recipient-location rule governs, making the place of supply the location of the overseas cloud provider and permitting export-of-services treatment if other export conditions are satisfied.
    Clarification on availability of input tax credit in respect of demo vehicles.
    Show AI Summary
    Input tax credit on demo vehicles allowed when used to promote further supply of similar vehicles; otherwise credit blocked.
    Demo vehicles that are motor vehicles for up to thirteen persons used by authorised dealers to provide trial runs and demonstrate features qualify as being used for "further supply of such motor vehicles" under clause (a)(A) of section 17(5) of the CGST Act, and thus are excluded from the blockage of input tax credit. Demo vehicles used for non-promotional purposes or where the dealer merely acts as an agent do not qualify and credit is blocked. Capitalisation does not preclude input tax credit, but section 16(3) disallows credit if depreciation on the tax component has been claimed, and sales of capitalised demo vehicles attract adjustments under section 18(6) read with rule 44(6).
    Clarification in respect of advertising services provided to foreign clients.
    Show AI Summary
    Place of supply rules: advertising services to foreign clients treated as export when recipient is located abroad, subject to conditions.
    Where an Indian advertising company provides end-to-end advertising services to a foreign client and separately contracts with media owners, the supplies are principal-to-principal and the company is not an intermediary; the recipient is the foreign client and the place of supply is the recipient's location outside India, so the service may be treated as export subject to export conditions. If the Indian company merely facilitates a direct contract between foreign client and media owner, it is an intermediary and the place of supply for its facilitation services is the supplier's location in India.
