Payment of GST by Charitable Trust, Goods and Services Tax - GST

Payment of GST by Charitable Trust


  • Contents

Dear Experts,

I request the experts to kindly clarify, whether a Registered Charitable Trust which got 12AA exemption from Income Tax is liable to pay GST on account of constructing a trust building.

Any exemption is available for non payment of the GST to the builder.

An early reply will be helpful in this regard.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

ArunachalamM

The Exemption Notification No. 12/2017 (Central Tax Rate) dated 28th June, 2017, it is meant for Supply of Services alone, and not for payment of GST??

The above exemption is only with regard to Charitable Activities under taken by the 12AA Trust . In other words the Trust is supplier of service in such a case and the same is exempted. But when the the trust is constructing building then the supplier of works contract service is the person who constructs the building and not the trust. The trust is the recipient of service in this case. Hence, the above exemption is not applicable in the present situation.

Exemption is not available. Otherwise also construction service is out of the definition of 'charitable activities' under Para 2-Definitions (r) of the Notification itself.
