Respected Experts,
Our client is providing Following Services to Railways :
1. Platform cleaning Services, which is purely Service contract.
2. Parking Contract from Railway and paying railway License Fees for the same.
My question is whether :
1. Platform cleaning Services fall under RCM/ Forward Charge or considered as Exempt service under notification 12/2017 CGST (rate) dt : 28-6-2017 ?
2. Parking Charges payable to Railways falls under RCM or Forward Charge ?
for both the above cases Railway is asking to pay GST first and then they release payment later.
Your views is highly appreciable.
Thank you.
Platform Cleaning Services Not Exempt Under Notification 12/2017 CGST; Forward Charge Applies; Parking Services Need Further Analysis A client provides platform cleaning and parking services to the Railways and seeks clarification on whether these services fall under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) or Forward Charge, and if they are exempt under notification 12/2017 CGST. An expert opines that platform cleaning services are not exempt and GST should be paid under forward charge. For parking services, further analysis of agreements is needed. Another expert suggests that the Railways seek confirmation of tax payment to prevent non-compliance. A case law supporting the experts' views is mentioned, and the client expresses gratitude for the feedback. (AI Summary)
