AI Summary

GST on commercial rent: tenancy to a state regulatory outlet is taxable when outside municipal constitutional scope.
The rent receipts from letting premises to a State run regulatory sales outlet are treated as taxable under GST with no exemption available; although a notification exempts certain services provided to government, that exemption applies only where the service falls within the constitutional municipal type scope, which the respondent considers not to apply to this tenancy, rendering the supply taxable.
