Question

What this page rests on

• Levy — s.9(1), Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017: tax is levied on all intra-State supplies of goods or services at such rates, not exceeding twenty per cent., as may be notified by the Government. Quoted from our held text at cgst/cgst-act-2017.txt:418, which is what the notification above exercises.
• Exemption — s.11(1), CGST Act, 2017: on the Council’s recommendation the Government may exempt, by notification, services of any specified description. Held text at cgst/cgst-act-2017.txt:451.
• Classification — “Chapter”, “Section” and “Heading” carry the meanings they have in the annexed scheme of classification of services the rate notification refers to. Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate), explanation 3(ii): "Chapter, Section, Heading, Group, or Service Code mentioned in Column (2) of the Table are only indicative." Each rate is the one notified on 28 June 2017 in the notification named on that row, not a statement of the rate in force today.
• Each row on this page is quoted from a held copy of the notification and keeps its line range. Nothing here is a substitute for the notification in force on the date of your supply.
