Canteen service provided under factories Act


  • Contents

Dear expert

We are providing canteen service in the factory which is mandatory under factories Act.

1. Our canteen contractor is charging monthly bill on the company @18%

2. We recover some nominal charges from every employee

3. We are paying GST on recoveries made from employees

Whether ITC is available on GST charged by canteen contractor?

Sir,

Provision of canteen services by you is mandatory under Factories Act. Proviso 2 of Section 17 (5) (b) of CGST Acts provides that the input tax credit in respect of such goods or services or both shall be available, where it is obligatory for an employer to provide the same to its employees under any law for the time being in force. Therefore you are eligible to take ITC of the tax paid by your contractor. You can utilize the credit for payment of tax on charges collected by you from your employees. If you have excess credit after payment of tax on charges collected from your employee the same will lapse.

Dear Sir,

As per my view, itc will not be admissible since goods or services as per section 17 (5)(b)(i) of CGST Act, 2017.

Sir, as per explanation to Sec.17(5)(b), ITC is eligible.

"Provided that the input tax credit in respect of such goods or services or both shall be available, where it is obligatory for an employer to provide the same to its employees under any law for the time being in force."
