Even if supplies are made under a government scheme, these may not be exempt from Goods and Services Tax (GST) if these are not directly supplied to governments or local authorities. Work done for State Urban Development Agency (SUDA) under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and Mission Nirmal Bangla would not be exempt from GST, according to the state Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR). The work will attract 18 per cent GST, broken into 9 per cent each for central and state GSTs, it ruled.
