While educational institutions may be exempt from GST on certain services, this exemption may not apply to conference-related services, especially if they are not directly related to the core academic activities of the institution.
Specific rulings from authorities have indicated that participation fees charged for conferences organized by educational institutions do not qualify for exemptions under existing GST laws, thereby confirming the requirement to charge GST on such fees.
The services provided during the conference, including participation, accommodation, and meals, are considered taxable supplies under GST. Therefore, the registration fee typically includes these services and is liable for GST @18%.
