Section 8 company under Companies Act 2013 treated as body corporate; sponsorship services taxable under GST on forward charge
Case-Laws
GST
The AAR held that the applicant, a not-for-profit entity incorporated under the Companies Act, 1882 and presently governed by s. 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, qualifies as a “company” and hence a “body corporate” under the Companies Act, 2013. It is neither a co-operative society nor a body corporate notified for exclusion. Consequently, for sponsorship services supplied by the applicant to recipients in the taxable territory, the applicant falls within the expression “body corporate” in the relevant GST notifications. Such sponsorship services do not fall under reverse charge; GST liability is to be discharged by the applicant on a forward charge basis.
