    In case of Canteen which is run by a contractor , who is charging bills along with GST , whether Company still required to pay the RCM on subsidized portion of canteen charges which is recovered from Employees?? In this case if we pay under RCM , then incidence of Tax/GST would be double to the Company. Kindly clarify..

    Sir, the GST paid on purchases / inward supplies meant for canteen are not eligible for ITC as per the Section 17(5)(b).
    According to this Ruling, the canteen food supllied to employees on subsidised rates termed as consideration and thus it’s comes under meaning of outwards supplies, therefore GST applicable.

    Bus as per basic sec 16(1) of the act, the ITC is available for goods aor services or both to registered person which are used or intended to be used in the course of furtherance of the business.
    It mean the ruling is established that the canteen supplies are outwards supplies to employees and justifies furtharance of the business.
    Hence my contention is that the ITC should be applicable on canteen supplies when the canteen supplies made to employees on payment / subsidised payment basis to that extent.
    Expert comments are invited please.

    Simply provide food FREE of Cost to employees, and reduce their allowances to the extent of estimated cost, to avoid the complication. The problem has arisen only because the company is collecting money from employees for food.

    If providing food to the employees is taxable then whether the company can avail the ITC on the goods and services used in supplying the canteen services.
