1 24 May 2017 EY GST News Alert GST Council finalizes tax rates for services under GST regime Executive summary This Alert provides an insightful coverage of news related to GST and recent developments that are likely to impact trade. It will act as a summary to keep you on top of the latest GST news. For more information, please contact your EY advisor. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, during its meeting held on 19 May 2017, broadly approved the GST rates for services at nil, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. The Council finalized the classification of various services into different tax slabs, while proposing to continue with exemptions in respect of most of the services that are currently exempt. The list of services that will be under reverse charge and the exemption list have been released in the public domain for general information. There could be some changes in these lists on further vetting. Rail transport and economy class air travel would attract GST at the rate of 5%. Construction of a complex, building and civil structure would be taxed at 12%. Services by way of admission to entertainment events, access to amusement facilities and supply of food/drinks in air-conditioned restaurants in five-star or above rated hotels would attract a higher GST rate of 28%. Services of transfer of right to use goods would attract the same GST rate as applicable to the supply of such goods. While the partial reverse charge mechanism has been done away with, services of GTA, legal services, cab aggregator services, sponsorship services etc. will be covered under reverse charge mechanism. The next meeting of the Council is scheduled on 3 June 2017 to decide on the rates with respect to gold, textiles and a few other goods.
2 Background The Goods and Services Tax Council (GST Council), during its meeting held on18-19 May 2017, finalized the classification of goods and services into different tax slabs of GST and released schedules in public domain.

GST rate and Compensation Cess to be the same as on supply of similar goods Transfer of the right to use any goods for any purpose for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration. Any transfer of right in goods or of undivided share in goods without transfer of title thereof. Comments The Council s decision on the services rate structure reflects the logic applied for goods, to stay close to the current effective rates. However, classifying services in different tax slabs may lead to classification challenges, resulting in unwarranted litigation. Applying the rate of 18% to banking, insurance and telecom services is likely to increase the cost of such services. While grandfathering the existing exemptions of various services is a positive step, some of them could be phased out over a period of time in line with the objective of GST. On the flip side, litigation around such exemptions under the current regime might continue even under GST. The development on the GST front gives a strong signal for the July 1 implementation, which now looks imminent. The industry should brace up for the last lap in next few weeks by assessing not only the impact of GST rates but also the overall strategy for transition into the new tax regime. Supply consisting of transfer of title in goods under an agreement which stipulates that property in goods shall pass at a future date upon payment of full consideration as agreed (value of leasing services shall be included in the value of goods supplied) 5 Including exhibition of cinematograph films, theme parks, water parks, joy rides, merry-go rounds, gocarting, casinos, race-course, ballet, any sporting event such as IPL and the like
