Supply of canteen services to employees as business activity; recoveries are taxable while unrecovered perquisites are exempt
Case-Laws
GST
Supply of canteen services to employees falls within “in the course or furtherance of business” and therefore qualifies as supply under section 7(1), because incidental or ancillary activities connected to main business are covered; outcome: the activity is taxable as supply. Provision of canteen by a third party provider to the employer is a supplier-recipient transaction and the employer's recoveries from employees constitute consideration; outcome: amounts recovered from employees are subject to GST. Free or concessional canteen benefits constitute perquisites; outcome: only the concession portion is exempt as perquisite (non taxable), and unrecovered value is not taxable.
