Examine the following independent cases and determine whether the services are taxable under GST Law: (i) Dhruv Printing Press, a registered entity under GST, received an order of 1,50,000 from Vishwakarma Technical Institute, a private ITI providing courses notified under Apprentices Act, 1961 for printing of pre-examination items like question papers, OMR sheets, Answer booklets required for conducting of examination by the institute. (ii) State Board of Education, a registered entity, charged - 50,000 per year as affiliation charges from a school run by Dharampal Trust, registered under section 12AA of Income Tax Act, 1961 which gives education from class 1 to class 10. (iii) Wecare Hospital, a registered entity, charged - 19,500 for 3 days from Mr. Sahil who was admitted in Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU) due to heart attack. (iv) Citcare Hospital, a registered entity, entered into an arrangement with Swadisht Caterers, a registered entity, to supply food to in-patients as per advice of doctor/nutritionist. Swadisht Caterers sends monthly bill to hospital for the food supplied by them to the admitted patients of hospital. Determine the taxability of Citcare Hospital.
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
Particulars Taxability (i) Vishwakarma Technical Institute qualifies as an educational institution 2 . Thus, services provided by Dhruv Printing Press to Vishwakarma Technical Institute are exempt since services are being provided to an educational institution by way of services relating to conduct of examination by such institution. Exempt (ii) Affiliation services by State educational boards are exempt only when they are provided to Government Schools. Thus, affiliation charges of 50,000 charged by State Board of Education from a school run by Dharampal Trust is taxable. Taxable (iii) Renting of room by a clinical establishment to a person receiving health care services are exempt provided room charges are upto5,000 per day. However, this limit does not apply to renting of Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU). Thus, amount of 19,500 3 charged by Wecare Hospital from Mr. Sahil admitted in ICCU is exempt. Exempt (iv) Food supplied to the in-patients as advised by the doctor/nutritionists is a part of composite supply of healthcare by Citcare Hospital and is not separately taxable. Thus, said supply is exempt. Exempt 2 Vishwakarma Technical Institute qualifies as an educational institution since it is an ITI which provides courses notified under Apprentices Act, 1961, i.e. approved vocational education courses. 3 It has been most logically assumed that - 19,500 is room rent charges for ICCU.
