After Gujarat, Haryana to reimburse GST on Covid-relief materials; Centre sees no legal issue
May 19, 2021
However, it feels move may aggravate GST revenue shortfall
Haryana on Monday joined Gujarat in allowing GST reimbursements on Covid relief materials donated by corporates, non-government organisations and individuals. While the Centre sees no legal issue with States reimbursing GST on Covid relief materials, it feels such a move will aggravate GST revenue shortfall situations.
A senior Finance Ministry official told
BusinessLine that the GST law does not encourage exemption, but there is no bar on refund or reimbursement scheme. “Technically, there is no problem in giving such relief, either by Centre or by State. However, there could be some practical issues,” the official said hinting at the revenue position. It is estimated GST revenue shortfall could be more than ₹ 1.5 lakh crore this fiscal (FY 2021-22).
