10 February 2018

Hello , can anyone help with the following query? Is it possible for supplier of renting service provider to
charge electric expense in bill as extra charges recovered over and above rent?. And not to charge gst on same? For eg . Rent 10000 on which gst is 1800 collected. And electric expense 1000 also collected as just reimbursement expense and no gst on same?

Fixed charge will be taxable, but not reimbursement of exact bill amount.....

Any advance or estimated charge will fall under fixed charge....... while reimbursement of exact bill amount (possible for independent meter) for units already consumed will be out of GST levy.
