What is the meaning of Advance Ruling under GST? An ‘advance ruling’ means a decision provided by the authority or the Appellate Authority to an applicant on matters or on questions specified in section 97(2) or 100(1) of CGST/SGST Act as the case may be, in relation to the supply of goods and/or services proposed to be undertaken or being undertaken by the applicant. (section 95 of CGST/SGST Law and section 12 of UTGST law) Authority for Advance Rulings(AAR) are appointed under the respective SGST/UTGST Act(s) and the same are deemed to be the Authority for advance ruling under CGST Act also in respect of that State or Union territory.
The GST Act is still going from lot of changes with respect to its provisions and different rates of taxes. One of the important aspects of GST is on which supplies is the input tax credit not available or is prohibited.
