A new provision has been added in CGST Rules (with effect from October 26, 2023). This says: ”The value of supply of services by a supplier to a recipient who is a related person, by way of providing a corporate guarantee to any banking company or financial institution on behalf of the said recipient, shall be deemed to be one per cent of the amount of such guarantee offered, or the actual consideration, whichever is higher.” This means if the corporate guarantee was ₹100 crore, then ₹18 lakh would be the GST liability.
There will be no GST if a director provides a personal guarantee for a loan from a bank or any financial institution to his/her own company.
