Case Law Details
In re M/s Syngenta Bioscience Private Limited (GST AAR Goa)
1. Whether the activity of on the technical testing services carried out by the applicant be treated as ‘zero-rated supply’?
In The instant case, the goods on which technical testing is carried out are made available to the applicant in India and are not exported back to the recipient. Hence the exclusionary clause under Section 13(3),(a) is not applicable to the instant case. The activity of technical testing on goods is carried out in Goa, India. Hence the place of supply of service is rightly determined as per Section 13(3) of the IGST Act, 2017 which is the location of the supplier of the service i.e. Goa, India. Since the place of supply of service is in India, condition (iii) under Section 2(6) of the IGST Act, 2017 is not fulfilled. Hence the service provided by the applicant doesn’t falls within the definition of export of service as defined under Section 2(6) of the IGST Act, 2017.
2. If the answer to the aforesaid question is negative, then is the applicant liable to pay IGST on the said ‘supply’?
Since the supplier of service is in Goa, India and place of supply of service as determined under Section 13(3)(a) is also in Goa, India, the applicant is liable to pay CGST and SGST on the aforesaid supply of service.
