Deducting money from employees'
salaries to pay a canteen services provider (CSP) would not attract the Goods
and Services Tax (GST), the Gujarat Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) has
ruled.
In a case related to luxury kitchen and bath fixtures brand Kohler India
Corporation, the AAR ruled that input tax credit (ITC) would be given to the
company for GST paid on payment to a CSP for non-contractual employees.
