Hello All,
I have a question on applicability of GST on the below transaction:
Facts - i) Company is a SEZ unit
ii) Company provides an employee higher education programme to senior level employees wherein a specified cost (let's say 20 lakhs) of the course will be sponsored by the company.
Any cost over and above 20 lakhs will need to be borne by employee
iii) A employee opts for a course of value 30 lakhs
iv) The institute normally charges GST on such course, however, considering that the invoice for course will be billed directly to company, being a SEZ unit, it is ready to provide GST exemption on 30 lakhs after executing a LUT (Letter of undertaking)
v) The Company will pay 30 lakhs to institute and recover 10 lakhs from employee (employee to pay that amount through bank transfer)
Questions:
i) Is GST chargeable on 10 lakhs recovered from employee
ii) If yes, what is the value on which GST to be charged - 10 lakhs or 30 lakhs
iii) Any possible model wherein we recover the cost of 10 lakhs without triggering GST implication.
Any leads to above questions will be highly appreciated
Thankyou
