Meaning and scope of supply under GST (Part 2) - Import of services will be treated as supply and will be subject to GST under reverse charge.

Importation of services: subject to GST under reverse charge; potential double levy with customs needs exemption.

Importation of services falls within the definition of Supply and is subject to GST under the reverse charge mechanism, creating potential overlap with Customs duty where transactions importing goods are contractually treated as services. Administrative or legislative clarification is needed to prevent concurrent levies, either by Customs exemptions for imports characterised as services or reciprocal GST relief where Customs duties apply. The draft also raises uncertainty about personal use exemptions limited to taxable persons and suggests extension or harmonisation of exemptions for non taxable persons.
