Going-concern business transfers qualify as services, but exemption requires proof; otherwise transferred stock and assets are taxable goods.
Case-Laws
GST
Under GST, a comprehensive transfer of an entire proprietorship business to an LLP without consideration, including assets, liabilities, employees and business rights, constitutes a supply even if not made in the ordinary course of business. Transfer of a business as a going concern is classified as a supply of services because it is excluded from treatment as a supply of goods. The going-concern exemption applies only where the business is established as a going concern under applicable standards. If that status is not established, transferred stock and other business assets are treated as taxable supplies of goods at the applicable rates.
