Hello member, I have a client who provide Pure Service to Municipal Corporation (M.C.). Earlier with introduction of GST Law they were raising invoice to M.C. with GST. Municipal Corporation authorities claimed that they had never claimed Credit of GST as they are not liable to Pay GST. M.C. were paying them with GST but after certain clarification they stopped Charging GST as they were not laible to charge GST for Service provided to M.C. according to Notification : 12/2017- Central Tax (Rate). Now in current scenario M.C. are recovering the GST from their current Invoice and deducting the payment. Is their any chance that we can get REFUND OF GST PAID ON EXEMPT SERVICE PROVIDED ? if yes then how ? All your views are highly appreciated. Thanks In Advance ! CA Parth Shah

Yes, you can file the refund claim on the portal.But the limitation period of 2 years is there.But I do not know what is the nature of work done by labour and if it is exempted.
