No GST On Services Of Sweeping, Segregation And Transport Of Garbage: Karnataka AAR
Live LawThe Karnataka Authority of Advance Ruling has ruled that GST is not payable on the services of cleaning and sweeping of lawns and garden path areas and segregating and transporting garbage. The services include cleaning and sweeping of lawns and garden path areas; segregation and transport of garbage; and supply of manpower for garden maintenance. The applicant states that the Department of Horticulture would fall within the definition of "government" for the purposes of GST and, as such, pure services received by it would be exempt from GST. The applicant submits that the activity of maintenance of parks and gardens, in respect of which the services are provided to the Department of Horticulture, is therefore within the ambit of "function entrusted to a municipality under article 243W of the Constitution".
