Rack Installation with respect to Agriculture Produce, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[KUMAR Narasimhan]

Dear Sir / Madam,

Manufacturing company has doing Rack Installation for storage of Agriculture Produce is exempted or Taxable?

In general they charge 18% to their customers, but though this process have been doing for Agriculture Produced by Govt company they are denying to pay the GST on the above.

Please clarify, Is it Taxable or Exempted? if it is exempt from Tax, what documents to be collected from them to Justify this is exempted sales.

Exemption is available for pure services provided to government entity or government authority in case it is in relation to activity is mentioned under article 243 G or 243 w of the constitution

Please also clarify whether it is supply of the racks or it is a service of installation of the rack which is provided by the manufacturer. if it is supply of goods I doubt if there could be any examination

In my view, installation of racks for storage of agriculture produce is covered under 'support services to agriculture produce' and hence attracts NIL rate of tax. See Notification 11/17-CT(R) dated 28.6.17 as amended (serial no.24 of the notification refers.).HSN 9986.

Dear Sir / Mam,

Thank you for your clarification.

Rack Installation comprises of supply of Goods and Services for the Agricultural Produce

[Shilpi Jain]

So if it is a transaction where supply of racks is principal supply and installation is incidental then it would be a supply of goods and exemption will not be applicable.
