The entity involved is a Cooperative Housing Society Ltd. The society is not registered for GST. Under the byelaws, the society has created a Repairs Fund to meet material repairs that may be required. The byelaws also govern the utilisation of the repair fund. As per bye-law 14(b) The Repairs and Maintenance Fund may be utilised for meeting the expenditure on maintenance of the Society's property and repairs and renewals thereof. The bye-law doesnt state the fund can be utilised for GST on Repairs bill.
Question that I have is - can the GST then paid on the repairs expenditure be also debited to the Repairs fund? The society does not have any output GST available as well apart from not being registered under GST. Kindly help. Its urgent.
