Contractor's Machine Dismantling and Balancing Service Subject to 18% GST Rate, Not Manufacturing Service A contractor engaged for dismantling and balancing a machine in the paper industry inquired about the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate. One respondent suggested that if the service is considered a manufacturing service, the rate would be 12%, otherwise 18%, assuming the job is for a registered person. Another respondent clarified that the GST rate for the described activity is 18%, as it does not qualify as a manufacturing activity. (AI Summary)
