In order to decide whether the said services amount to export or not, place of supply of service need to be determined. Section 97(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 empowers the Authority to give a Ruling on time and value of Supply. However it does not empower the Authority to examine the place of supply. In the absence of this provision the Authority is not empowered to answer whether the activity undertaken by the applicant amounts to export or not.
Applicant has entered into a contract for carrying out the various listed activities leading to erection, fitting out, renovation and commissioning of data centres. The contract also involves transfer of property in goods. It is therefore opined that the proposed activities of the applicant are covered under the definition of Works Contract.
