Debate on GST Applicability: Are Government Fees for Agricultural Commodities Exempt or Under Reverse Charge Mechanism? A discussion on a forum addresses whether government fees paid for agricultural commodities, such as a 1% fee to a state-regulated market committee, are subject to GST. Various participants express differing views. One argues these fees are statutory and outside GST's scope, while another suggests they fall under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) if exceeding 5000. Others highlight the distinction between fees and consideration, noting that services by agricultural marketing committees are generally exempt under specific GST notifications. The consensus leans towards these fees being exempt from GST, aligning with the exemption for services by agricultural produce marketing committees.
