Addressing a digital press conference, Atishi said last month, six educational institutions, including IIT-Delhi and Punjab University were sent showcause notices over research grants. <br />'The AAP has strongly opposed imposition of GST on research grants. Today in the 54 th GST Council meeting, me and Harpal Singh Cheema, Punjab finance minister vehemently opposed it. It is good news that the GST Council has decided to exempt research grants from the GST net. This is a victory for the entire country,' she said.<br />Mahesh Jaising, Partner and Leader, Indirect Tax, Deloitte India said, 'The GST Council continues to take industry friendly decisions. The key themes of decisions made today are: Clarification to remove unwarranted disputes - Issuance of clarification on export status of data hosting and advertising services and clarification on input tax credit on demo vehicles; Issuance of an exemption to airlines for transactions between HO and BO, including regularization of the past period, is an industry friendly measure; Rate rationalization – while the overall rate rationalization is still underway, announcements made to reduce/ exempt tax on specific services and goods is a welcome one.'<br />“While the decision on a lower rate or exemption for health insurance is expected by November, it is expected that the decision would consider all forms of health/ medical insurance including family floaters, group policies, optional add-on coverages etc. so that insurance companies have clarity on the changes they need to incorporate. Exemption given to research grants will ensure that more money flows into the R&D activity and regularisation of past demands on an as is where is basis is a good move. Coterminus to the exemption given to foreign airlines, it is necessary to examine similar situations that exist in other service businesses where the India office works on a mere cost recharge model,“ said MS Mani, Partner, Deloitte India.The GST Council recommended roll out of a pilot for B2C e-Invoicing, following the successful implementation of e-invoicing in the B2B sector. The Council recognized potential benefits of e-invoicing in retail, such as improved business efficiency, environmentally friendly, cost efficiency to the business, etc. It would also provide an opportunity to the retail customers to verify the reporting of the invoice in the GST return. The pilot will be rolled out on voluntary basis in selected Sectors and States.<br />The GST Council recommended to exempt supply of research and development services by a Government Entity; or a research association, university, college or other institution, notified under clauses (ii) or (iii) of sub-section (1) of section 35 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 using Government or private grants. Past demands to be regularised on ‘as is where is’ basis.54th GST Council Meeting Live: The GST Council today clarified that 'the approved flying training courses conducted by DGCA approved Flying Training Organizations (FTOs) are exempt from the levy of GST'.54th GST Council Meeting Live: GST rate on car seats classifiable under 9401 to be increased from 18% to 28%. This uniform rate of 28% will be applicable prospectively for car seats of motor cars in order to bring parity with seats of motorcycles which already attract a GST rate of 28%.Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) to be introduced on supply of metal scrap by unregistered person to registered person provided that the supplier shall take registration as and when it crosses threshold limit and the recipient who is liable to pay under RCM shall pay tax even if supplier is under threshold.<br />A TDS of 2% will be applicable on supply of metal scrap by registered person in B to B supply.<br />54th GST Council Meeting Live: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that a committee of secretaries headed by Additional Secretary (Revenue) will be formed on the IGST which is currently facing a negative balance.

Addressing a digital press conference, Atishi said last month, six educational institutions, including IIT-Delhi and Punjab University were sent showcause notices over research grants. <br />"The AAP has strongly opposed imposition of GST on research grants. Today in the 54 th GST Council meeting, me and Harpal Singh Cheema, Punjab finance minister vehemently opposed it. It is good news that the GST Council has decided to exempt research grants from the GST net.

Exemption given to research grants will ensure that more money flows into the R&D activity and regularisation of past demands on an as is where is basis is a good move.
