Priyajit Ghosh, Vikash Agarwal & Ms Yamini Agarwal, CAs, for the Appellant.
Facts of the Case
The applicant, engaged in leasing fit-outs and infrastructure, entered into an agreement with BIPPL, which held a 90-year sub-lease of plots for setting up an electronics industry. BIPPL constructed various buildings and sub-leased them in a bare-shell condition to its licensees. To facilitate infrastructure support, the applicant provided fit-outs and related assets on hire to the tenants of BIPPL’s sub-lessees. The applicant did not transfer possession or control of the immovable property but granted access to scheduled fit-outs in return for rental consideration, as stipulated in the ‘Agreement for Hire of Fitted Assets.’ The applicant sought an advance ruling on the classification and taxability of such activity.
AAR Held
The Hon’ble West Bengal AAR held that the applicant’s services fell within the scope of leasing or rental services under Sl. No. 17(viii) of Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), dated 28-06-2017. The authority held that the applicant’s activity constituted a mixed supply, subject to GST at the highest applicable rate. Since the supply of fit-outs and infrastructure was provided alongside leasing services, the entire transaction attracted GST at 18%.
