Jayshankar Gramin Va Adivasi Vikas Sanstha Sangamner, a Charitable trust registered under Maharashtra Public Charitable Trust Act 1950, had approached the Maharashtra Bench of the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR), seeking clarity on whether it is liable to pay GST on the amounts received in the form of donations/grants from various entities, including the Central and State governments.

Charitable trusts are liable to pay 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on grants and non-philanthropic donations received by them, the Maharashtra AAR has ruled.

Jayshankar Gramin Va Adivasi Vikas Sanstha Sangamner, a Charitable trust registered under Maharashtra Public Charitable Trust Act 1950, had approached the Maharashtra Bench of the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR), seeking clarity on whether it is liable to pay GST on the amounts received in the form of donations/grants from various entities, including the Central and State governments.

The trust is also registered under the I-T Act as a charitable trust.

It undertakes supply of services to 50 orphans and homeless children by way of shelter, education, guidance, clothing, food, and health for the women and child welfare.

The Maharashtra Women and Child Welfare Department pay a sum of ₹2,000 per month per child. Other expenses for children are made from donations.

In its ruling, the AAR said the trust would be chargeable to 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST) for grants received by it.

In the case of donations, the AAR said if the purpose of the donation is philanthropic and leads to no commercial gains and is not an advertisement, then it would not attract GST.

In all other cases, donations too would attract an 18% GST.

AMRG & Associates Senior Partner Rajat Mohan said charitable trusts could land up paying GST since July 2017.

“This ruling is expected to send jitters to all the charitable organisations, enjoying tax-neutral status under indirect tax laws since the very beginning, mandating them to get registered under GST. Tax demands computed since 2017 would be loaded with additional interest @18% and penalty,” Mr. Mohan added.
