AI Summary

GST liability on rent: charitable income-tax registration does not exempt rental services from GST liability.
GST applies to rental services provided to an institution holding Income Tax 12AAA exemption; the institution's charitable registration under the Income Tax Act does not by itself exempt the landlord from GST. Indirect-tax definitions focus on the nature of the activity rather than profit motive, so services meeting the statutory definition of a taxable supply remain taxable unless a specific GST exemption applies.
